The Royal Fire continues to hold within its footprint at 215 acres with 30% containment. Yesterday, crews were successful with constructing a combination of hand and dozer line all the way around the fire. The incident continues to be supported by aviation resources. Today, crews will continue to improve handline and begin cold trailing (feeling for hotspots) where appropriate Resources are beginning to plan suppression repair needs. Hot and dry conditions continue over the fire area through Friday. Gusty west-southwesterly winds, 15-25 mph, are expected in the afternoon. Fire behavior is moderate with minimal smoke output.
