Black Hole Fire - The Black Hole fire is 5% contained and estimated to be 561 acres. Yesterday, morning crews made good progress in their efforts due to favorable weather conditions. Hot spots remain within the main fire perimeter, and yesterday crews were able to finish cooling and securing an area just west of the main fire footprint, near the Beehive Timber Sale. Fellers will continue work to remove hazardous trees along the northern flank of the fire perimeter.All evacuations were lifted on the Black Hole Fire yesterday. We thank the community for remaining ready during the evacuation period. It is a good reminder for residents to have an evacuation plan for themselves, their pets, and important personal belongings, including medications, if an evacuation ever becomes necessary.
