Overnight winds last night increased the potential for spot fires on the 2N05 road. This morning, crews took extra precaution and concentrated on the 2N05 road holding fire and patrolling for spot fires. 

Once the concerns for spot fires were eliminated, crews cleaned up unburned pockets of fuel along the eastern edge of the 2NO5 road.

In the afternoon, fire crews began ignitions on the north side of the fire, taking burning operations slow and steady.  Their work will continue into the evening, until the burning window closes. 

The slow pace allows this naturally ignited fire to spread in areas where it can be safely managed in order to restore natural fire return interval, increase forest resiliency and aid in reducing hazardous fuels lessening the probability of catastrophic fire.
