Leader’s Intent:

Operational Update:

The fire showed an uptick in visible activity yesterday as vegetation continued to dry. While there was little growth outside the current perimeter, islands of unburned vegetation continue to ignite and smolder. Overnight, crews patrolled the fire adjacent to communities and infrastructure and continue to do some minor firing east of the north fork of Red Cap Creek to further strengthen containment in that area.

Today, crews will continue with their previous work assignments, building and improving proposed indirect line along Orleans Mountain Ridge east toward Nordheimer and south from Nordheimer to Mullins Camp through Horn Creek Gap. From Mullins Camp they are working up the Salmon Summit Trail to the northwest corner of the fire.

They also continue to look for contingency lines off the primary indirect line, and to look for opportunities for suppression closer to the Salmon River. They have begun structure assessments and preparation should it be necessary to protect the structures along the Salmon River Road.

Weather and Fire Behavior:

One more warm, dry day today is expected to be followed by increasing cooler and moisture conditions through next weekend. Another chance for wetting rain is expected to come into the fire area Tuesday into Wednesday, bringing with it a slight chance of thunderstorms. This will be followed by another stronger system later in the week. Temperatures are expected to increase considerably across the fire area by this time next week.
