Maroon Fire has officially transitioned back to a Type 4 Fire.
Type 3 Team left with a very complete product. Moving forward, continuing to secure the identified holding features, reduce fire-related hazards along roadways, assess resource rehabilitation needs, and patrol the fire as interior pockets of fuel continue to consume. Resource numbers are scaled back and numbers will continue to drop over the weekend.
