Situation Summary

Crews will continue to tie in containment lines around the fire area today. Be cautious of emergency vehicles while driving in the area. Excess resources are being released to assist with new incidents throughout the state. Increased clouds and light showers are predicted throughout the weekend which could result in flash flooding or flooding near burn areas. Burn areas are at increased risk of flash flooding and debris flows. “If you can look uphill from where you are and see burned areas, you’re at risk.”-NWS
