Managers of the Cable Crossing Fire are pleased by the effectiveness of mop up operations. While the fire is now 50 percent contained, firefighters are not taking their advancement for granted.
Conditions are expected to be warm and
dry, with gusty winds and temperatures into the upper 80s. This is what
firefighters call “heads up” weather, because a critical point has been reached
in the fire operation where the weather mixed with the burned forest fuels
create a potentially dangerous environment of falling trees and other hazards.
Fire crews remain cautious as they continue to mop up.
The current acreage for the fire is at 1,848. The fire area and forest roads remain closed to the public. Highway 138 remains open with the aid of a pilot car.
Last night’s Open House at the Glide Fire Station was well attended by members of the community. About 40 people came by throughout the evening to talk to fire managers and express their gratitude. Fire managers are grateful for the Glide Fire Department’s help in organizing events and providing a meeting space to keep the community informed.
