Click here for full details.

Additional resources have been ordered to assist in the management and containment of both Red Rock and Black Eagle fires, as firefighting forces attempt to use yesterday’s favorable weather conditions to make progress on fire containment.

Yesterday a wetting rain blanketed the fire footprint, with snow seen in higher elevations.

Yesterday’s precipitation and nearly 20 hours of high humidity allowed much of the fuel load to absorb moisture and suppressed fire activity.
