This morning, firefighters tied in with a local motorgrader to build containment lines around structures on 360. Command staff is using 360 as a contingency line to hold the fire. Ground crews back burned from 360 to help burn potential fuel between the road and the fire leaving fewer opportunities for the fire to keep running or escape.

Bulldozers continued to construct containment lines around the fire today. Aviation resources were on scene, which included air attack and two Type 1 helicopter. Aviation resources assisted ground crews to help slow the spread of the fire by dropping water across the fire area.

Fire Weather: Tonight, isolated showers with very light rainfall will pass east of the fire area by 8 PM. Expecting dry conditions for remainder of the night and through the overnight hours.
