Bowles Creek Fire

Bowles Creek Fire
Publication Type: News 08/10/2023

Crews on both the western and eastern sides of the fire have completed masticating and chipping actions in targeted areas to remove excess fuel. They continue strengthening fuel breaks into existing fuel treatment areas. Preparing for the anticipated hotter, drier weather, personnel are scouting for more areas to treat and establish more containment opportunities, especially in the south and west sections of the area. Those recreating or traveling in or through the fire area are encouraged to be aware of the situation and to pay attention to increased fire traffic. There are also several zones of public road repair in the local area. Private vehicles should yield to fire traffic and be extremely cautious in construction zones.
