HIGHLIGHTS: Firefighters continue mopping up, suppression repair, and completion efforts on the Bull Gin Complex. Though completion did not increase today, fire activity remains minimal due to favorable weather and firefighting efforts. The fire within the Complex will continue to creep and smolder slowly toward fire lines, as expected, and firefighters will patrol where appropriate. The Walness Fire, which began four days ago, is out. Temporary flight restrictions are lifted as of today, September 25.

Government Fire: Firefighters continue mopping up along the southern boundary of the fire, especially near private residences and near C Spur Road. The excavator will be advancing road repair work south, along the fire’s western boundary. A grader will also assist with road repair work.

Billiard Fire: Crews focus on suppression repair work and mop-up. Road repair advances along both Billiard Cabin and Fatman Roads. Excavators will continue road repairs over the next week. Sawyers are felling hazard trees while crews clear debris from culverts. Firefighters will remove the structure wrap from the Star Peak Lookout in the fire area today.

Isabella Lake Fire: The Grangeville Helitack Crew removed the structure wrap from the bridge in the fire area yesterday.
