The fire transitioned from the Northwest Incident Management Team 12 back to the local area at 06:00 am today.
YESTERDAY’S
OPERATIONS: Firefighters completed securing the perimeter, which achieved the
goal of 100% containment. Fire personnel continued to patrol the fire. A group off
engines, one bulldozer, one crew and a supervisor were available to respond to
any new fires in the area.
Crews along with two excavators continued
work along the fire perimeter to repair forest and range land impacted from
firefighting activities. Developed by local agency advisors, this work
includes; repairing containment lines, scattering brush and slash piles from
chainsaw operations, knocking down berms, constructing water bars to mitigate erosion,
and restoring any damaged trails.
TODAY’S
OPERATIONS: A local Type 4 incident commander has assumed command of the fire.
A team of five engines will continue to patrol and monitor the fire. Fire
suppression repair work will continue as needed.
Local residents, visitors and motorists
traveling through may continue to see smoke within the fire area. The smoke is
caused by large woody debris that continues to smolder well within the
perimeter of the fire. These interior pockets of smolder fuels pose no threat
to the containment lines.
Highway 31 is open to through traffic. Motorists are asked
to slow down and remain alert if fire personnel and equipment are in the area.
CLOSURES: The Fremont
Point Lookout will be closed through August 1 to allow unrestricted suppression
and recovery traffic in the area.
SAFETY
MESSAGE: With the potential for extreme fire behavior and rapid rates of spread,
please be extremely careful when using power tools, firearms and vehicles, as
well as more traditional sources of fire, such as matches and lighters.
