Situation Report:

The fire remained active overnight with small growth. Firefighters worked last night to continue
improving containment lines through indirect methods and back-firing as conditions allow.
Today firefighters will continue to strengthen and improve containment lines in order to keep
increasing containment on the fire. Mitigating hazard trees, hot spots, and utility issues remain a
priority and firefighters are working around the clock with our cooperators to make the area safe
