Middle Fork Complex – Heavy equipment completed its 48 hour track up to the Deadwood Reservoir and will begin assisting with suppression repair efforts along the reservoir. Crews will continue to strengthen and check containment lines while continuing repair missions in the north end of the Nellie.

Goat – Crews continued working on the ridgeline down around the private lands back to Clear Creek Road securing the fires edge. Firefighters completed containment line along the drainage off Clear Creek Road on the western side of the fire. More smoke was visible yesterday as a result of higher temperatures and the drying trend.
