Firefighters achieve 50% containment on the 8 Road Fire
Yesterday, fire behavior on the 8 Road Fire became moderately active with warming temperatures and light northwesterly winds in the afternoon. Also on Tuesday, more crews joined the effort. A “felling module” (a specialized team tasked with removing trees – especially those that pose a danger to firefighters) worked to bring down hazard trees around the fire’s edge so firefighters could more safely hold and improve containment lines. Fire managers requested and received helicopter bucket drops to decrease the fire’s intensity where the fire is slowly burning east down steep slopes toward Beaver Creek. Heavier smoke conditions, resulting from weather conditions rather than from increased fire activity, affected most nearby communities.
