Flat Fire Update on Today’s Activities:

Firefighters made good progress on the Flat Fire today. Ten helitack crew members (firefighters flown in by helicopter) returned to Fantz Ranch in the eastern portion of the fire to keep mopping up, felling hazard trees to ensure safe work conditions and thoroughly cooling hotspots as heat was detected. Near Game Lake and also in the southwest corner of the fire, aerial firing operations continued to increase fireline depth. This develops deeper and more effective fireline in preparation for expected seasonally dry vegetation, hot temperatures, low relative humidities and wind that will create conditions that could challenge the fireline. Firefighters along the western edge of the fire continued to actively seek heat to mop up and found no areas of concern.

There is a community meeting in Agness tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. in front of the library.
