Current Situation:  Increase in fire activity occurred on the Frog Fire yesterday, and helicopters were again used to drop water in areas difficult for fire crews to successfully work in the steep terrain.  A crew has begun working from the existing containment line on the east side of the fire towards the west.  While additional containment has not yet been verified yet, the crews are successfully limiting fire spread.  Additional crews have been ordered with in the intent of have them work along the northwest edge of the fire, above Big Boulder Creek to prevent the fire from spreading further north.

Fire personnel continue to work in the East Fork drainage. They are evaluating the fire situation and are prepared to respond as needed to any sudden change in fire activity or intensity.  Aerial surveillance of the incident has included drones capable of infrared readings to evaluate areas with the most potential for fire activity.  These operators are also working from the roadways near the fire.

Evacuations:  There are currently no evacuations related to the Frog Fire.
