Cougar Creek Fire: Movement continued on repairing the results of suppression activities on Saturday.
Repair of hand lines near the Alder Ridge Trail (#1523) were completed
and are ready for acceptance by resource advisors. An excavator working
south is continuing to make improvements to Forest Road 6104 between
Alder Ridge and Maverick Peak. Excellent progress has been made on the
management of heavy fuels on Mosquito Ridge. Necessary repairs in the
Burgess Meadows area were evaluated on Saturday. On
the east side of the fire repair operations are focused on two areas,
Shady Pass Road (FR 5900) and dozer lines and roads in the Potato Creek
area. There is an extensive amount of light fuel piling required along
the Shady Pass Road. Fire behavior was minimal on Saturday.
Lost Fire: The spot fire discovered on Friday has been completely contained by rappellers.
Weather and Fire Behavior: A
low pressure area that has been producing clouds and cool temperatures
over the previous few days will pass through the fire area Sunday. This will be the last chance for some wetting rain from this system. Forecasts call for warmer and drier weather for Monday through Wednesday. There is a possibility for up to a quarter inch of rain during the day on Sunday
and a prospect of afternoon thunderstorms. Winds will shift from the
south to the west and become stronger as the day progresses. These
conditions are not conducive to major fire expansion.
*THIS WILL BE THE FINAL DAILY UPDATE UNLESS SIGNIFICANT EVENTS OCCUR*
Although
this is the final Daily Update, crews and heavy equipment will continue
to do the important repair and rehabilitation work needed to button up
these fires. The public is asked to adhere to the closure order
restrictions for their own safety and the safety of fire personnel.
