Left Fork Fire Update 7-1

Left Fork Fire
Publication Type: News 07/01/2022

 

 
Containment continues to increase on the Left Fork Fire, up to 93% as of this morning. Crews will continue their hard work to gain control of the last few heat sources near the perimeter.

Yesterday was the windiest day since the team arrived. Fire managers kept a close eye on the areas that still are not contained but saw minimal fire behavior. No torching was observed, and most of the heat is being found in stumps and heavy fuels. The UAS (drone) flew the perimeter again and validated the work the firefighters have done. With the perimeter holding, crews are moving more interior to extinguish smokes and heat sources.

While the emphasis remains on full suppression, some areas of the fire that are contained are ready to begin suppression repair. This refers to the work done to reduce the impacts that crews and equipment made during firefighting operations. These efforts reduce potential soil erosion, repair damage to infrastructure, and lessen the crews’ impact on the land long term.
