Firefighters made excellent progress overnight, taking advantage of favorable weather conditions to strengthen containment lines and extinguish hotspots. This morning, day shift crews are briefing and preparing to head to the fireline, where they will continue strengthening containment lines, conducting mop-up operations, and extinguishing remaining hotspots to further increase containment.

This incident demonstrated the effectiveness of the Westside Fuel Break, along with the rapid response of both aerial and ground firefighting resources. Together, these efforts played a key role in limiting fire growth and helping protect nearby communities.

Thank you to our assisting agencies and the public for your continued support, patience, and cooperation.
