Current Status and weather

Not much fire activity in the past 24 hours, the fire is still estimated at 270 acres. Yesterday crews finished wrapping the McCart Lookout in protective material (like a giant space blanket). Crews continue to improve contingency lines, and increase plumbing lines with hose-lays. Fire crews are continuing to work on expanding fuel breaks to protect the Springer Memorial Community and upper East Fork areas. Moisture from the past few days continue to prevent fire growth. Below average temperatures will continue for today and into the weekend, but when fuels return to pre-wetting rain conditions, we expect increased fire activity.
