 Estructuras quemadas: 22

Ayer por la tarde, cerca de las 18:00 horas, los fuertes vientos de las tormentas empujaron el fuego hacia el sur a través de Dripping Springs Road. Los bomberos utilizaron una carretera por encima de la mina Ray como punto de anclaje para quemar una línea de contención alrededor del incendio puntual, impidiendo una mayor propagación. Las cuadrillas continuaron preparando en y alrededor de los valores en riesgo a lo largo de la carretera de Dripping Springs. Los bomberos quemaron el combustible alrededor de la torre de comunicaciones de Telemundo en la zona de Signal Peak para evitar daños a la torre. Los equipos de protección de estructuras trabajaron para proteger los valores en riesgo en las áreas de El Capitán y a lo largo de Dripping Springs Road.

Hoy los bomberos mantendrán una fuerte presencia en las comunidades de El Capitan, evaluando los daños y limpiando.  Las cuadrillas buscarán oportunidades para conectar la antigua carretera y la línea de dozer que va hacia el noreste desde Dripping Springs hasta el perímetro de Mescal Fire, y el grupo de protección de estructuras identificará y protegerá los valores en riesgo a lo largo de Dripping Springs Road.  Los equipos de bomberos continuarán limpiando y reparando la carretera forestal 651 para proporcionar acceso a las actividades de supresión de incendios.  La evaluación para la reparación de la supresión en la línea de dozer desde Pioneer Pass Road al este hasta la State Route 77 al norte del Rancho Grantham puede comenzar hoy.  En el corredor de la US Route 60, las cuadrillas de tala eliminarán los troncos peligrosos en el interior de la zona quemada.  Hoy el equipo de BAER (respuesta de emergencia en áreas quemadas) comenzará a evaluar el área quemada en el corredor de la US 60 en preparación de un plan de rehabilitación. Para obtener información sobre el estado de la evacuación, los cierres de carreteras y la actividad del incendio, habrá una reunión virtual de la comunidad todos los días a las 18:00 horas hasta nuevo aviso, en la página de Facebook del incidente: https://www.facebook.com/Telegraphfireinformation/

Special Statement: With the increase in heat and lower relative humidity, fire activity has continued to be very active, along with smoke production over the Telegraph fire. Easterly winds have continued to push smoke into Superior and surrounding areas. Sensitive groups should continue to monitor air quality conditions in these areas. As the afternoon progresses, outflow winds from thunderstorms to the northeast, could increase fire activity and thus smoke to areas southwest, west and northwest of the fire. Areas to the east of the fire will see less impacts, but will continue to see light smoke and increased levels of ozone.

Yesterday evening at about 6 p.m., strong outflow winds from thunderstorms pushed fire south across Dripping Springs Road.  Crews used a road above Ray Mine as an anchor point to burn out a containment line around the spot fire, preventing further spread. Crews continued to prep in and around the values at risk along the Dripping Springs Road. Firefighters burned out fuel around the Telemundo communications tower on Signal  Peak area to prevent damage to the tower. Structure protection crews worked to protect values at risk in the areas of El Capitan and along Dripping Springs Road.

Today firefighters will maintain a heavy presence in the El Capitan communities, assessing damage and mopping up.  Crews will search for opportunities to connect the old road and dozer line running northeast from Dripping Springs to the Mescal Fire perimeter, and Structure Protection group will identify and protect values at risk along Dripping Springs Road.  Fire crews will continue to clean up and repair Forest Road 651 to provide access for fire suppression activities.  Assessment for suppression repair on the dozer line from Pioneer Pass Road east to State Route 77 north of the Grantham Ranch may begin today.  In the U.S. Route 60 corridor, felling crews will remove hazardous snags within the interior of the burned area.  Today the BAER (burned area emergency response) team will begin assessment of the burned area in the US 60 corridor in preparation for a rehabilitation plan.
