Left Fork Fire Update 6-25

Left Fork Fire
Publication Type: News 06/25/2022

Monsoonal moisture moved through the fire the last 48 hours. While not enough precipitation to extinguish the fire, it slowed the fire enough to allow firefighters to go more direct along the perimeter. There is a chance of afternoon showers again today, and Fire Managers believe the weather will greatly assist with increasing containment over the fire area. 

Fire behavior was minimal, with less active flames and decreased wind-driven runs. The northern end of the fire has been able to utilize a direct attack strategy, except where heavy fuels dictate. The southern end continues to make progress with containment strategies, with small amounts of heat present from the perimeter.   The western and northwestern flank have slowed significantly. Despite having good contingency indirect handlines and dozer lines, there still is potential to push west if the winds pick up again. While the weather is cooperative, crews are working along the perimeter of the fire to slow progression.   Some smoke had settled in the Bryce Woodlands Estates. That should clear out as the inversion lifts.
