Crews focus on mop up, return of warm weather
MITCHELL, Ore. – Crews on the Shoe Fly Fire continue to work into the interior of the fire from the perimeter, creating an area of cold black adjacent to the fireline. The fire has reached 65% containment with significant portions of the fire in patrol status and all areas with a minimum of 100 feet mopped up from the perimeter into the interior of the fire.
Today, crews will focus on areas with larger fuels that may still be holding heat and fire. With the return of warm weather, grass and lighter fuels are drying and more receptive to burning. These areas can put up small amounts of smoke, making it easier for firefighters to locate any remaining hotspots.
