Firefighters worked towards completing control lines around both remaining fires in the complex. The steep and rugged terrain remains a challenge. The Ammon Fire remained within its current perimeter throughout Saturday and overnight with no new growth. Several pockets of unburned vegetation continue to burn within the interior. Firefighters are mopping up and extinguishing hot spots to ensure there is no fire spread due to rolling or falling debris. The Campbell Fire saw minimal fire activity throughout Saturday morning with the exception of islands of vegetation within the interior of the fire’s perimeter. The fire became active in the northeast portion of the fire area during the late afternoon as the smoke inversion lifted. A slop over occurred between Waterman Ridge and Horse Range in the northeast corner of the perimeter where the fire had previously been holding at Cedar Creek. Both ground crews and air resources deployed to the area to start slowing the spread. This slop over is the highest priority on the incident today. Firefighters on the ground will work to build control lines around this new slop while being assisted by both fixed and rotor-wing aircraft as conditions allow.
