The Bowles Creek Fire is currently at 6,988 acres. Fire crews remain present along Hwy 38, Skalkaho Road.  With increased weekend traffic, motorists should yield and be cautious of firefighters who are present along the roadway. Additionally, motorists should be aware of debris on the road, as increased wind events and precipitation has increased the potential for falling trees.

Structure protection assessments are completed; however, fire personnel are present to mitigate any future fire risk. Firefighters continue to construct fuel breaks and monitor fire behavior and improve fireline as needed.
