Current Situation

Situation Summary

A marine layer moved in overnight bringing decent humidity as the fire perimeter remains mostly within the Glass Fire Footprint. Large fuels inside the perimeter continue to burn and smolder which will cause visible smoke over the fire area today. Firefighters will continue containment efforts and mop up while working in steep, rugged terrain.

Seasonal weather conditions are expected to persist through this week.
