Fire crews on the Mangum Fire are now focusing on suppression repair, while being vigilant to ensure that fire does not threaten containment lines. Suppression repair involves "cleaning up the mess" created by activities such as dozer line construction, hand line construction, and opening of closed roads. Containment lines and reopened roads are being graded and water barred to mitigate erosion, and standing snags are being felled and removed in the interest of public and firefighter safety. The perimeter of the fire is being patrolled and monitored by firefighters, and appropriate action is taken to keep the fire within containment lines.
