National Park Service crews conducted a burnout last night to remove unburned fuels between the fire edge and the containment line they were trying to improve. Fire behavior was moderate, making runs with the burnout operation in grass and brush fuels. 

Planned actions for today are to gain access where possible for dozer crews to construct containment lines. Engines will patrol, mop up, and conduct burnouts when necessary. Due to the location in difficult terrain, a Type 1 Helicopter has been requested to assist with fire suppression.

In addition, minimum relative humidity values are forecast to remain generally above 20 percent both today and Saturday.
