Today, weather conditions are expected to be warm and dry with strong southwest winds up to 30 mph. Increased fire behavior and smoke are anticipated on the Little Lava Fire due to these conditions. In preparation for the incoming weather, firefighters completed successful strategic burning operations yesterday on the northern flank along Edison #3 Trail to establish a potential control feature with the goal of preventing growth to the east. Forest Service Road 4526 has also been prepared as an alternate control line further east. The fire is expected to continue slowly burning north.
Firefighters will focus on patrolling and holding existing control and containment lines throughout the day. Aircraft will be available to support suppression efforts if needed.
