…Along both the northern and southern edges of the fire smoldering heat remains in the hardwoods, increasing to the east. Today, Smith River will work in the area of Mile 141, as well as in the Birch Creek Bridge area. The fire will be flown and monitored every day as weather and smoke conditions allow.
#DeadwoodFire (#214) – Yesterday, the Council of Athabaskan Tribal Governments Type 2 wildland firefighting crew and the Paradise Valley Type 2 hand crew gridded the fire to a depth of 300 feet in from the fire’s edge. Today these crews will continue with gridding and mopping up the remaining pockets of heat in the interior of the fire.
#KetchemFire (#240) – The fire was called out at the end of shift Tuesday. No growth or heat has been found in the past three days. The Black Hills Wildland Fire Module thoroughly gridded the entire fire and found no remaining heat.
#AlligatorFire (#265) – Rain moderated overall fire behavior but there is consistent heat still along the northwest flank of the fire where it has entered an unburned area and is following stringers of spruce along the drainages. No fire activity was observed on the southern edge of the fire in the flats where the fire is closest to Central. The fire is still estimated to be around 1,100 acres.
