Continued burning of interior fuels. Mop-up and suppression repair ongoing. Road, trail and area closures. Transfer of command from IMT2 NW Team 13 (Gales) to IMT3 planned for 9/8.

Lists fires (of any size) that singly utilize Monitor, Confine or Point Zone Protection suppression strategies, or use Multiple Suppression Strategies (which may also include a Full Suppression component).

Northwest Fire Potential Summary
Large fire potential remains inhibited as cooler and wet weather remains in the Region. Increased likelihood of precipitation is expected for most PSA’s Monday evening through Tuesday. Instability and potential for isolated lightning also decreases. Fire potential is unlikely to escalate until next weekend, when another warm dry period brings higher fire danger conditions back into the Region.
