Situation Summary
Fire behavior significantly decreased overnight allowing for ground and air resources to gain some containment. The fire has remained in its current footprint and today's resources will continue to mop up and strengthen containment lines, while active working to defend structures. Road closures at Hwy 173 x Hwy 138 and Hwy 138 from Old Mill to I-15 along with current evacuations remain in place. The fire continues to pose a threat to high-tension power lines.
Conditions will dry out again today with low humidity and winds gusting up to 25 mph in the afternoon. Monday is forecasted to bring stronger wind gusts exceeding 30 mph, which could challenge suppression efforts. Firefighters will continue monitoring weather throughout the day.
Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area remains closed to the public.
