7/24/2014 AM Sunflower Fire Update

Summary:  A cold front brought cooler temperatures over the fire area yesterday.

Crews are also busy repairing dozer lines and other fire suppression damages.

Current Situation:  With burnouts and line construction complete, firefighters will continue the post-fire activities from yesterday. Demobilization of resources started and will continue over the next few days.

Weather:  Cloud cover, high humidity, and cooler temperatures will aid firefighters in their work today. A warming and drying trend will arrive early next week.

Area Fire Closures:  An area closure is in effect around the fire for firefighter and public safety. Information and map can be found @ http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/3964/
