Cooler temperatures and higher humidity levels aided in suppression efforts today. Firefighters continued tactical firing operations along the western and southwestern flanks to strengthen control lines. The narrow fire growth towards the southwest that’s recently become visible on the map is due to successful ignitions that have occurred over the past few days. Unstaffed Aerial Systems (UAS) were deployed this afternoon to ignite vegetation in areas further interior to establish more depth along control lines. Crews also continued to patrol recently burned areas and extinguish sources of heat along the fire’s edge. A special medical team has arrived today that will be on site at fire camp, who will be able to provide rapid care to firefighters experiencing symptoms of poison oak. |
