Operational Update: Suppression resources continue to make progress on the eastern edge of the fire increasing containment. Crews are cooperating with cultural and resource advisors on suppression repair tactics to return the forest to its natural habitat. The highway through Forks of Salmon will see little to no fire traffic to limit driving exposure in difficult terrain, providing for public and firefighter safety. Snagging operations continue in and around the fire area to provide a safe route of travel for fire resources. Along the western edge of the fire, resources continue to mop up and monitor the fires edge. Hazardous fuels reduction and chipping operations will continue. Aircraft assets remain available for water dropping and cargo missions. Firefighter safety remains top priority considering steep terrain.
Weather and Fire Behavior: The trend of elevated temperatures and decreased RH’s will continue Thursday. Temperatures will be in the high 80’s to low 90’s with RH’s ranging from 15-20%. Winds will be light and variable from the west to north-west at 5-9 mph with gusts to 12 mph. The drying trend will continue to increase fire activity within the fire perimeter but no significant spread is to be expected.
