Situation Summary
CURRENT INFORMATION: On Saturday, Oct. 5, the incident was lowered to a Type 4 incident. This means complexity and needs of this incident are going down.

At this time, there is no threat to the containment lines. Firefighters continue to investigate smoke, extinguish isolated heat sources, and remove hazardous trees to improve public and crew safety.
