Current Situation: Another day of steady progress was made on the Frog Fire; containment increased to 77 percent. Firefighters worked on securing existing containment lines and extinguishing any remaining heat on the southeast portion of the fire. Resources will continue to be pulled from the Frog Fire as managers right-size the incident to the appropriate number of personnel for the remaining work to be done. Today, firefighters will keep an eye out for any increased activity and remain on standby to respond appropriately.

A single burning tree was discovered northwest of the Frog Fire yesterday. Crews were able to drop water via helicopter and dig line around the small fire. It was also surrounded by retardant from a past aircraft drop so fire managers feel confident it was from the more active burning days of the Frog Fire and see no significant threat to containment. It serves as a reminder to the fire crews to remain attentive to the whole fire area.

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