Yesterday, moderate fire behavior continued in the swales on the northeast of the fire (around Upper Danville Road), exhibiting visible smoke and some observed observable flames during minor torching. This activity remains within the interior and is not a threat to established fire lines. Crews have established over 2 miles of hose lay on the west side of the fire (near Big Goosmus Road), helping crews extinguish existing smoldering material along the fire line. In the 4th of July Creek Road area, crews were focused on structure protection measures and identifying areas burning near the fire line.

Today, crews will continue to construct hose lays on the westside of the fire.  Crews will monitor areas of internal burning for possible threats to the fire line while working on increasing containment. Structure protection units will continue to patrol and mitigate around structures in the 4th of July Creek Road area.  Firefighter and public safety remain our highest priority, crews are continuing to work in the area.  Local residences and property owners entering the area should be cautious of crews working along 4th of July Creek Road and traveling along Big Goosmus Road, Brenner Road, and Parelandra Circle, as well as other local roads in the proximity of the fire perimeter.
