4:30 p.m. Crews have stopped ignitions on the Front Country Prescribed Fire for today after successfully completing approximately 50 acres of the Headquarters Unit. Crews will be in the field into the evening to ensure that areas completed today remain within the unit boundaries. Firefighters will also be staffing overnight to monitor the fire area. 

Smoke may continue to rise from the units burned today and flames may be visible as fuels inside the units consume. With cooler temperatures in the evening, smoke may linger and accumulate in low-lying areas. Firefighters are planning to continue with the prescribed fire tomorrow, if conditions allow. Stay tuned to Rocky's social media and Inciweb tomorrow for additional updates in the morning.
