June 27, 2023 - Evening Update - Operations for the Thomas Mountain Prescribed Burn have concluded successfully, with 2500 acres accomplished. The efforts of the dedicated firefighters working on this operation are commendable. Ignition operations have been completed, and the focus now shifts to mopping up and holding the containment lines.

Collaboration and support from other agencies, such as the Cleveland National Forest, Angeles National Forest, Los Padres National Forest, and the Idyllwild Fire Protection District, have been vital in ensuring the success of this operation conducted by the San Bernardino National Forest.

As the fire continues to consume fuels within the designated area, residents and visitors should expect to see flames and smoke in the interior of the footprint. This is a normal part of the prescribed burn process, and it helps reduce excess vegetation and mitigate potential wildfire risks.

It's important for residents and visitors to remain aware of the ongoing operation and adhere to any safety instructions or guidelines provided by the authorities.
