Current Situation
Situation Summary
Additional personnel continue to arrive to provide support, incoming hotshot crews are set to perform planned tactical firing operations alongside aerial ignition teams. The fire is expanding in the Sulanharas and Beartrap creeks. Given that the fire has reached areas that are inaccessible to ground crews, aircraft will prioritize operations in the creeks to mitigate further fire growth.
Crews will work to reinforce and strengthen control lines on the western side of the fire, which has experienced a significant reduction in heat. Structure assessment teams will remain deployed for the remainder of the day to evaluate risks to residences in areas of concern.
