Situation Summary
Update (Wednesday, Aug. 6): Firefighters continue the extensive mop-up operations on the fire, ensuring that it is completely extinguished. There is still a heavy resource commitment with 90 total personnel assigned and you can expect to see firefighters at the site daily into the weekend until they reach their goal of 100 percent containment of the fire. After that is reached, the fire will move into patrol status where it will be monitored until there are three consecutive days with no smoke coming from the site.
What Happened
The fire was exhibiting moderate to erratic fire behavior with short-range spotting, as the winds aligned with the topography in the early stages of the fire. Multiple structures were threatened with fire engines assigned to structure protection as evacuation orders and warnings were established. Airtankers concentrated at the head of the fire and established a fire retardant line that was tied into the dozer and hand lines established on the left flank and left shoulder near Pond Road. The dozers and hand crews then continued work and had completely constructed a control line around the fire's entire perimeter by 6:15 p.m. Sunday when forward progress was stopped.
During the height of the fire, there were four zones under mandatory evacuation orders that had 3,386 people who resided within them (CLE-E123, CLE-E126, CLE-E135 & CLO-E113). There was an addition 65 people residing within the two evacuation warning zones (CLE-E124 & CLO-E109). Those four zones under evacuation orders were downgraded to warning status by 5:45 p.m. and by 6:55 p.m., all evacuation warnings were lifted.
