#GiffordFire

Firing operations began this afternoon.

This methodical strategy is aimed at removing dense vegetation ahead of the main fire to deprive it of fuel and help keep it contained within the Garcia Wilderness.

Ground crews initiated the operation along containment lines around the wilderness border.

Helicopters were used to ignite steep, difficult to reach terrain along Garcia Ridge.

Holding resources are following the holding operations to keep the fire in check.

The operation is expected to finish by mid-afternoon tomorrow.

Residents and visitors on the northern perimeter of the fire should expect to see elevated smoke through that time.
