Current Situation
Situation Summary
Personnel continue concentrated efforts to expand containment around the Shelly Fire. This includes engaging in mop-up operations along much of the north and east perimeters from upper Kidder Creek down to the Patterson Creek drainage areas, and further developing fire lines along the south and west perimeters in the vicinity of the Pacific Crest Trail.
In the northwest near Mill Creek and in the south along the Right Hand North Fork Salmon River, where the fire remains a bit more active, crews have continued to go direct with air and ground resources. Along the east side, crews are beginning to work on suppression repair efforts in and around affected communities.
Drivers in the area should remain alert for fire personnel and heavy equipment on or near the roadways, as both day and night crews continue working toward full containment.
WEATHER:
Increasingly hot and dry conditions with southwest terrain-driven winds will continue into next week, with a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms this evening.
