Logan Fire Statistics:

Size: 15,131 acres

Completion: 10%

Total Personnel: 276

Weather: Today the temperatures will be in the mid-60’s and dropping to the low 50’s by tomorrow. Winds will be around 5-8mph with gusts up to 15 mph. There will be cloud cover through most of the day and relative humidity will be around 17%. 

Current Situation:  Yesterday, there was some heat on Hogback ridge in the late afternoon with some isolated torching. Two type 1 helicopters were launched, and they dropped buckets of water to cool the hot spots so firefighters could maintain the holding line. Crews also continued prepping the Big Creek Road down to Jacob’s Ladder Flats. Today, the firefighters are reinforcing the Back Road so it can be used as a contingency line.  A contingency fireline is used to back up primary lines to increase probability of fire containment, decrease fire losses, and improve firefighter safety. Firefighters are also backhauling sprinklers and pumps and leaving the correct amount of plumbing in place to protect the structures. The crews are still working in the Smith’s Creek area around the bridges and making sure they are protected from fire and wrapping them with protective heat shield material. The crews are also removing the fire protective wrap from the Rabbit Lookout in the wilderness area and bringing those supplies back to camp.
