Current Situation
Situation Summary
Crews spent the day strengthening control lines around the main fire perimeter and the spot fires that crossed the line yesterday. Extensive mop-up will be ongoing for the next couple days. There are many hazard trees within the fire perimeter, so a Falling Module has been called in to drop trees that are dangerous to firefighters and the public.

Numerous firefighting air tankers from throughout the State are flying fire suppression missions as conditions allow.
