Note: It was another great day on the fireline. Firefighters
continued aggressive mop up making sure that this fire will not reignite and
flare up later this summer. No additional growth has occurred in the last
operational period. The size remains 2,094 acres and is now 80 percent
contained. A warming trend and stronger winds are expected tomorrow that will
pose a mild test to containment lines.
