Jul 28 at 11:05 AM EDTCurrent Situation: SUN was another day of active fire behavior, partly due to the fuels in the path of the advancing fire, as well as the critical fire weather in the area... The most active part of the fire is on the northern & eastern end near Elk Country, Porters, Big Lake, & Long Flat. Firefighters observed intense fire activity in those areas & were engaged in structure protection.
Firefighters working north of the fire will implement defensive actions for structures in the Long Flat & Porter's areas. Crews are prepping roads in the Big Lake area to be used as fire lines. Additionally, crews are constructing dozer lines west of the Bear Valley Road along utility corridors to catch the fire in a favorable location should it move downslope.
Like yesterday, the western side of the fire remains active in the lower portions of Monroe Canyon & on Monkey Flat. Flames and smoke from both areas are visible from the town of Monroe. Here the fire is slowly backing through pockets of intermittent fuel and steep terrain. Crews are working in the First Lefthand Creek drainage to prepare fire line along Road 162.
Weather: A Red Flag Warning is in place through Monday…hitting the upper 80’s at 7,000’. Relative humidity remains in the low teens and winds will continue from the SW with gusts up to 30 mph.
