Minimal smoldering and fire behavior were observed overnight and high humidity is keeping fire potential low. No fire spread is anticipated. Ground crews will continue to work in steep terrain as they focus on mopping up and patrolling existing fire lines. Suppression repair will be a high priority today.

Significant rain showers throughout the day led to a reduction of fire activity. With nearly a half inch of rain falling over the area, fire activity is now not expected to spread. Fire crews continue to work in steep and remote terrain requiring containment lines to be constructed by hand crews. Crews are also patrolling existing containment lines and suppressing any hot spots.

Substantial firefighting efforts have decreased fire spread. Due to remote wilderness locations and steep terrains, hand crews will continue ongoing fire line construction while being supported by helicopter water drops. Rain is expected to continue on and off today which will help mitigate fire activity.
