Cause: Under Investigation
Fire crews worked late into the evening to get a good size up of the fire, put a plan together for fire suppression, and began to implement their plan.

Engine and aviation resources will be utilized on this fire due to rugged terrain. In addition to the engine and aviation resources already on scene, a type 1 Handcrew Module has been ordered to provide additional ground support. Air tanker retardant drops have been effective in conjunction with engines working to put out hot spots.
Crews are working to contain this fire before predicted wind shifts and critical weather arrive.
