Blue Hills Fire

Containment: 85%

Size: 3,868

Cause: Unknown

Today, 2/2/2025, Crews patrolled fire edge today and found little heat and smokes throughout the fire area. Heats that were found were extinguished with fire engines. Aircraft was used early today on the fire, but were deemed unnecessary to todays operations and were sent back after their first drops. One area located on the north side of the fire was the main area of concern with a few heavy brush and tree fuels still burning, but this area was on the edge of the lake so it was secured on three sides. This was also on National Parks Service (NPS) property and was being managed through burning operations conducted by NPS staff. Personnel focused on mapping of the fire this afternoon and were able to get final accurate acreage of the fire. Local Fire Marshalls are investigating the cause of the fire. Crews have been released from the fire for tonight and will return in the morning. Plan for tomorrow is to monitor entire fire perimeter and extinguish any heat found.
