CURRENT STATUS Crews continue to chip residual piles and improve the constructed fuel break along the 75 road and 711A road, checking for areas of concern. Along the Railroad Creek drainage, crews are removing hazardous trees and improving constructed line. To the north, crews are patrolling and monitoring existing hand line. Crews, organized into wildland fire modules, will be taking photo points and collecting valuable fuel moisture data for future analysis.

CURRENT STATUS

CURRENT STATUS On the west side of the fire, crews are completing hose lays from Hog Trough Creek up the ridge from the 77 trail. Crews continue chipping along the 711 road. To the north, a fire module is monitoring and patrolling the fire with help from aerial resources. Heavy equipment on the fire’s east side has completed constructing line. Crews are finalizing removal of hazard trees. Aerial resources are also assisting crews with moving gear and equipment around the fire area, through “long-line” missions.

CURRENT STATUS  Along the southeast edge of the fire, crews have nearly completed line from the 5070 road and Medicine Lake. Aerial resources continue to patrol and monitor the fire’s northern edge. To the west, heavy equipment, chippers, and hand crews are working along the 75 road to complete line towards the 711 road. Crews are finishing their work “plumbing” the 77 trail with hose lays and sprinklers to raise the humidity of the dense vegetation along the constructed lines.

CURRENT STATUS  Heavy equipment and crews have completed removing hazardous trees along the 5071 road and connecting this work to the 5070 road, resulting in the fire’s completion percentage rising to 41%. To the west, hotshot crews continue to set up hose lays and sprinklers to increase the humidity in the dense vegetation along the constructed line in the Railroad Creek drainage. Along the 711 road, crews are chipping and extending handline to prevent the fire's spread beyond the road and connect to the handline along the 77 trail.
