The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain where topography makes firefighting extremely difficult. Ten hand crews along with the helitack crews and dozers have been doing much of the heavy work constructing and strengthening containment lines. Their efforts have been supported by airtankers making fire retardant drops to slow the spread of the fire and helicopters conducting water drops.
A weather system moving through the area bought increased cloud clover, light precipitation and higher relative humidity, all of which has aided firefighting efforts. Gusty winds, however, continue to challenge operations.
The fire is now 15 percent contained.
Four additional dozers have been ordered to the incident and two night-flying capable helicopters have been requested for night aerial firefighting operations.
