Current Situation
Situation Summary
The fire’s behavior is expected to stay largely the same today. Areas around Kidder Creek and Patterson Creek may produce smoke as the fire finds unburnt pockets of fuel. Crews will be focusing on fire suppression repair work to rehab roads and trails that may have been impacted by suppression efforts. To this point, 49% of bulldozer lines have been repaired and inspected.
While Shelly Fire operations is reducing the number of personnel and equipment, the safety of the community remains paramount.
Drivers in the area should remain alert for fire personnel and heavy equipment on or near the roadways.
