Current Situation: Despite the gusty winds yesterday, the Frog Fire held in its current footprint, with
an increase of just one acre. Good progress was made by helicopters dropping water on the west side.
While increased fire activity on the west side created more smoke than has been seen in the area in
several days, the flames were from unburned vegetation interior to the fire perimeter. Crews kept a
careful eye on the southern edge of the fire, but no significant spread was reported. This plan will
continue today with helicopters on standby in case they are needed. Resources will continue to be
reassigned from the Frog Fire to the Wapiti Fire today as well.

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