Dodge Springs Fire Update July 25
Dodge Springs Fire
Publication Type: News 07/25/2022
Firefighters will be helped by higher humidity and the likelihood of more moisture over the fire area today. There was minimal activity on Sunday with only 23 acres of new growth detected by a flight over the fire last night. The growth Sunday was in an area southeast of Bull Mountain. Additional fire crews arrived yesterday, including more hotshot crews. They will work today to increase containment by working the fire’s edge to put out hot spots that could cause further new fire growth. Aircraft are available to support the firefighters on the ground.
A Type 2 Incident Management Team, Great Basin Team 6, Jeremy Kiesling Incident Commander, took command of the fire this morning. The team was brought to provide additional logistical and operational support for the firefighters, who are working in extreme heat in remote and rugged terrain north of Mesquite, Nevada.
The fire area includes portions of the Docs Pass Wilderness in Utah. Firefighters are working to fully contain the fire to protect the wilderness, wildlife habitat and to prevent the further spread of invasive species such as cheatgrass.
