7/16/2015 Newby Lake Fire Update P.M.

The two hot shot crews in Canada will continue to build line on the northeastern edge of the fire. Very little active fire remains in this area. Crews will continue to remove snags and improve/extend the mechanical lines on the east side of the fire. At the south end of the fire firefighters will continue to improve both hand and mechanical lines that tie into the old burn. The handline portion of the southern line will be plumbed with hose lines in anticipation of holding the fire should it grow in the future.
