Current Situation

Situation Summary

In the past day, the Shelly Fire perimeter has shown little growth. Ground and air resources continue to address isolated spots of intense heat, particularly in the upper Kidder Creek area. These areas may continue to smoke over the course of the next week but pose no immediate threat to containment lines.


Crew efforts are now shifting to mop up, backhauling equipment, and suppression repair.


Drivers in the area are asked to remain alert for fire personnel and heavy equipment on or near the roadways, as both day and night crews are still working toward full containment.


WEATHER:
Relative humidity will increase today as an onshore pressure gradient brings moisture to the area. However, a high-pressure system will strengthen again into the next week, bringing hot, dry, and windy conditions.
