Carpenter
Road Fire Update
The Carpenter Road Fire is estimated at 65,130 acres
and 35% contained.
After
wetting rain and a cool night, containment has risen to 35%. Overnight crews worked on spot fires on the
north and improved containment lines on the west and south of the fire. Red Marble Road was also cleared of large
fuels to mitigate fire spread. Work will
continue today to reinforce the line.
The
west side of the fire is in the containment zone and under patrol status. The south side of the fire will continue to
have smoldering stumps and smoke. Crews
on the east side are strengthening dozer lines already in place. The more active north side of the fire is
expecting low to moderate spread.
Firefighters continue to work on spots in this area.
Air
resources will be used contingent on weather which is expected to be fair but breezy
with 20mph gusts and a chance of light rain.
All sides of the fire are currently staff with fire suppression
personnel.
The
fire has caused some trees to weaken making hazard trees and other overhead
hazards a public concern.
