The Nevada Team 3 Incident Management Team is managing the Bowles Creek Fire. The Bowles Creek Fire is currently at 6,847 acres. After several days of rain, the area will have a few days of drying, which may increase fire activity and cause smoke to impact nearby roads. Motorists traveling on Hwy 38, Skalkaho Road, should be aware firefighters continue to be present along the roadway and to drive with caution.

Point protection and confinement are the suppression strategies being used due to values at risk and safety concerns. Fire crews continue to construct fuel breaks along roads and other values at risk. Fire officials continue to analyze and assess fire behavior as weather conditions change. Firefighters are utilizing firing operations and fuels reduction work to strengthen lines and continue to monitor values at risk.

The fire completion remains at 20% as the objectives of confinement and point zone protection continue. Percent completion of objectives more accurately captures and reports the specific amount of work accomplished on the ground to manage fire spread and reduce the negative impacts to communities, infrastructure, and other identified values. By using percent completion of objectives, fire managers can better illustrate how accomplishment of identified objectives and priorities are progressing.
