Current Situation
Situation Summary
Crews have made significant progress on the Summit Fire and forward progress has been stopped. Hot and dry conditions combined with gusty winds persist across the fire area. The northern portion of the fire is difficult to access due to limited roads, and firefighters are dealing with difficult terrain in the southern portion of the fire. There is still potential for significant fire behavior and rapid growth. Firefighters continue to construct fire line and in some areas are mopping up hot spots.
