The Gate 6 Fire initially had very high fire activity with crown fires and group torching, and crews were receiving assistance from air tankers to cool the fire and secure the flanks. At approximately 3:30pm, the fire received rainfall, and aircraft were released to support other near by fires.
Texas A&M Forest Service continued to work in unified command with the United States Forest Service and local timber company bulldozers to completely contain the fire by 9:00pm yesterday evening. The private timber company dozers will be on scene in the morning to monitor the contained fire.
