Response
OtherThe Long Creek Fire began at about 1245pm on Wednesday, July 27. The fire began due to a spark created by fire equipment. By 4pm the fire had grown to about 150 acres with 0% containment. The fire had a very high potential for growth and was burning in thick brush. There was no threat to structures. Dozers finished constructing line along the fire's perimeter at around 630pm. At that time, the fire was estimated to be 215 acres in size and 50% contained. Engines continued to mop up residual heat along the fire's perimeter until the fire was determined to be 90% contained. Fire crews will return Thursday morning to patrol the fire area and mop up any residual heat along the fire's perimeter.
