Firefighters continue to reinforce control lines along with mop up and patrol. Anticipate full containment today providing weather conditions hold.

The threat to structures has been mitigated. Today’s plan is for 2 ST engines, 2 crew strike teams and a water tender.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
