Acres: 123 Containment:
85% Number of Personnel: 53
Fire Behavior: Due to continued higher winds and
modest relative humidity recovery, the possibility for extended burn periods
exists. If fire behavior becomes active, the highest flame spread rates will be
along ridge tops and northern facing aspects of hillsides. However, based on
completed containment actions and available staffing, no fire spread is
anticipated. Risk should be reduced as the cold front moves past the area and
wind speeds moderate.
Planned Events: Fire crews will strengthen
containment lines and provide structure protection where needed. Increased wind
speeds will result in a heavier leaf fall. These leaves will accumulate, and
add to the potential for reburn inside the fire area. Crews will patrol and
clear leaves from containment lines.
