Operational Update: Firefighters are working to increase and strengthen containment lines ahead of elevated temperatures and an increase in winds next week. Crews are focused on confirming the reliability of existing lines and creating depth to increase confidence that these lines will hold with upcoming weather changes. Hotshot crews are engaged in particularly rough terrain around the northern perimeter, working to identify and execute containment line placement that has a high probability of holding in the event of fire growth with weather changes next week.

Rain and improved weather conditions lead to an increase in containment line and a downgrade in evacuation zones on the Rail Ridge Fire:

On the Northern end of the Rail Ridge fire the level 1 evacuation zone North of Highway 26 has been removed.

On the South West end of the fire the level 1 evacuation zone between Swamp Creek Road and the Izee-Paulina Highway has been removed.

prompting downgrades in evacuation levels in Dayville. With the reduction in fire activity and correlating diminishing threat to structures, OSFM will look to slowly downsize the number of structural task forces assigned to the Rail Ridge Fire over the next couple of days. Released crews will return to their home agencies, returning valuable resources to their communities. Remaining crews will continue to provide around the clock structural protection, maintaining a presence in Dayville, South Fork Road, Fields Creek, and Morgan Mountain areas.
