UPDATE:NV-CCD-Larson: June 6, 2007
Morning Fire Size-up: Incident Commander Marty Scheuerman reports this morning that some rain was received last night on the fire, it is cold (37 degrees at dawn this morning) and the winds have slowed, all causing the fire to "really lay down" overnight. All fire forces are out early working to contain the fire. Winds are expected to increase again this morning, but are not expected to be a gusty or erratic as on 6/5.
U.S. Highway 395 remains closed to through traffic between Holbrook Junction (NV State Route 208) and CA State Route 182 in Bridgeport. Fire officials hope to have the highway reopened later today (6/6), though a time has not yet been set.
