CA-BDF-Apache - Wildland Fire - 784 acres 100%

Final update: The Apache wildfire, which was reported last Tuesday, is 100 percent contained this morning.
With the containment lines completed Fire management continues to release crews who have worked tirelessly in extremely steep terrain to rapidly surround the area with fireline.
Some crews will remain in the wilderness to continue fire suppression rehabilitation and to restore the land as near as possible to natural conditions.
Beginning Tuesday May 6, the Southern California management team will hand over management of the incident to local fire officials from the San Bernardino National Forest.

Resources: 8 handcrews, 6 helicopters, 1 engine, and 3 water tenders.
Closures: As of noon Saturday, May 3, 2008, the San Jacinto Wilderness is OPEN from Devil’s Slide Trail northward, including the Pacific Crest Trail. The PCT and the San Jacinto Wilderness are CLOSED from Saddle Junction south to SH-74 due to the Apache Fire.

The Southridge Trail, the Spitler Peak Trail, the Fobes Ranch Trail, the Cedar Springs Trail, and a section of the Pacific Crest Trail remain closed.

Trail closures continue, due to danger from burned snags, trail and slope restoration efforts, and crews working in the area. The fire is contained but may be still smoldering in some areas. A primary focus of burn area restoration is to minimize erosion, maintain soil productivity, and maintain wilderness values in the affected area and along all trail corridors.

The Mount San Jacinto State Park Wilderness is open. The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is open. No campfires are allowed in either wilderness area.
