Fire crews, along with cooperating agencies, are working around the clock to repopulate the areas within the fire perimeter. There was minimal fire growth overnight and containment increased by 6%. Crews continue to work around communities patrolling for hot spots and providing structure defense. Firefighters are building and improving direct fire line in extremely steep, rugged, and difficult to access terrain. Persistent drought, critically dry fuels, and tree mortality remain contributing factors to the fires spread. Damage inspection will continue until all areas of the fire have been assessed.
