Jul 25 at 11:58 AM EDTFirefighters are vigilantly monitoring the Wright Draw fire with aerial reconnaissance from helicopters and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipped with infrared sensors. There is very little fire activity in the division. Containment has increased to 92% as additional areas of the inaccessible portions along the cliffs on the east side have been secured.
Weather and Fire Behavior:
Fire behavior has intensified with the arrival of warm, dry air from the southwest. This airmass has also carried smoke from fires in the region. These conditions are forecasted to persist through early next week, and fire managers are cognizant of the potential for near-critical or critical fire weather over the weekend. Strategy and tactics have been matched to the opportunities presented by the fuel and weather as conditions have changed. -
