CURRENT CONDITIONS:

The fire perimeter held, other than a small slop over on the northern edge of the Radford Fire yesterday. This was most likely caused by ember cast or a burning log. Firefighters were able to construct line around it, secure it, and mop up to strengthen the containment line.

On the southern edge, there was no threat to the fire perimeter and ground resources worked to backhaul hose and prepare for suppression repair efforts.  Today, firefighters are concentrating on suppression repair.  This includes hauling out trash, hand-line and road-repair.  Road repair involves cleaning out culverts and drains of debris and dirt, pulling back berms where dozers graded roads and chipping all cut vegetation along roads.

The Radford Fire area received 0.33 inch of rain yesterday from Tropical Storm Kay.  Some heat remains in downed fuels and stump holes within the interior. There is no threat to the fire perimeter, however firefighters continue to search out and to extinguish these heat sources.

WEATHER:

Today will see clearing of the cloud cover.  Solar heating will dry out and warm up the ground and increase the thunderstorm potential. Expected temperatures of 70 degrees and a change in wind direction from southeast to southerly at 6-10 mph with gusts up to 15 mph.
