During today’s fire operations, fire crews focused on enhancing handlines, patrolling for spot fires and conducting mop-up operations along the fire perimeter. Most of the observed fire behavior remained minimal, with no significant growth reported. Air assets supported operations by dropping water, coordinating with the overnight firefighters who were establishing handlines in the Cucamonga Wilderness. Fire suppression repair operations have commenced, and crews are using chippers along the fire containment lines. Containment has increased to 59 percent.
