KXGV Community Radio Interview with Randy Lamb, Operations Section Chief (T), Great Basin Team 6
Fire personnel will be concentrating their efforts on the Goat Fire today, using a drone and ground resources to conduct a burn out north of the Silver Creek Plunge area. The operation is expected to last several days as they shepherd the fire towards the forest roads they are using as control features. The intent is to stop any further movement of the fire towards Boiling Springs and Silver Creek by removing fuel while conditions remain moderate. While the fire did see significant growth during the wind event on Friday, conditions have calmed over the weekend. On the northeast corner of the fire near Warm Lake, fire behavior was also very light over the weekend. Crews there continue to mop-up at the fire's edge in the area around the Yellow Jacket Creek Trail Bridge. They have also completed structure protection at the Stolle Guard Station and Juniper Mountain Outfitters and are assessing structures in the Warm Lake area in case the fire moves further north. Operations Section Chief Randy Lamb gave an update early this morning to Garden Valley Community Radio KXGV LP 98.5 FM and highlights of that conversation are in this video. Although some hot spots in the Snag and Nellie Fire areas did show themselves during the wind Friday, they have either been mopped up or are well within the fire perimeter.
