Fire managers are utilizing a point protection strategy to prevent any critical wilderness infrastructure from being negatively impacted by the fire. Firefighters continue to take protection actions around paradise and Magruder road. Crews wrapped signs and tables with flame resistant foil and installed sprinklers on the road bridge. Firefighters finished structure preparation at Magruder Crossing Campground, Beaver Point Campground, Raven Creek Campground, Spot Mountain Pack Bridge and Indian Creek campground.  
 
The fire received up to .60 inches of rain and hail Wednesday night (8/24), which may dampen fire behavior over the next couple days.  Thunderstorms are predicted again Saturday and Saturday night. Sunday is the start of a drying trend with temps in the 80's. 
 

As the fire moves closer to Paradise Road, there may be temporary road closures, including a barricade and road guard at Magruder Crossing. The area/trail closure over the fire area remains in place. Smoke may be visible south of Hamilton, primarily around Darby.
