Additional personnel continue to arrive to provide support, incoming hotshot crews are set to perform planned tactical firing operations alongside aerial ignition teams. The fire is expanding in the Sulanharas and Beartrap creeks. Given that the fire has reached areas that are inaccessible to ground crews, aircraft will prioritize operations in the creeks to mitigate further fire growth. Crews will work to reinforce and strengthen control lines on the western side of the fire, which has experienced a significant reduction in heat. Structure assessment teams will remain deployed for the remainder of the day to evaluate risks to residences in areas of concern.

WEATHER: Atmospheric conditions are anticipated to improve today, characterized by a gradual increase in moisture levels each day leading into early next week, accompanied by generally light winds. Temperatures are projected to be near or slightly above the seasonal average, indicating a warming and drying trend. Wind gusts are expected to reach speeds of 10 to 12 mph, with occasional gusts potentially reaching 15 mph.
