Overcast conditions and moderated temperatures aided in fire fighting efforts today. Crews continued constructing containment lines, but the fire is still considered 0% contained. As constructed firelines are completed and the fire perimeter mopped up and secured, the percent of containment will increase.
Four helicopters, one fixed wing Air Attack asset, six hand crews and nine engines worked the fire today.
There remains a chance of thunderstorms within the fire area this evening. These storms have yet to materialize and fire crews are monitoring the conditions.
The fire remains under investigation.
