CURRENT SITUATION:

The warming and drying trend will continue over the next few days with today being the hottest and driest day of the week. The Cronan Fire remains inactive. Firefighters are patrolling the Cecilville/Summerville area where all firefighting equipment has been collected and removed. Ground crews continue to construct containment lines and collect equipment near Sugarhill. The fire continues its backing behavior around Craggy Peak, allowing personnel to go direct in many locations. Firefighters are making good progress constructing handlines and extinguishing areas of heat near Little Mill Creek.

The Tangle Blue Spot Fire has moved out of heavy timber and very little smoke is visible within the fire perimeter. Hotshot crews spiked-out at Stoddard Lake will continue constructing direct hand line for the next five to seven days. Together with air support, firefighters are constructing control line in the Eagle Creek/Minnehaha Creek area. Fire personnel continue to patrol and eliminate residual heat around Coffee Creek. The west side of the fire has only scattered areas of heat with no significant movement expected.

 

California Interagency Incident Management Team 2 will be transitioning command of the incident to California Interagency Incident Management Team 15 (Incident Commander Jimmy Harris) at 7:00 p.m. tonight.
