Yesterday:
The entire fire area received a wetting rain yesterday totaling between a tenth and a quarter of an inch. These rains helped crews hold and strengthen existing fire perimeter lines to the north and south. Crews reported low intensity smoldering and creeping
fire behavior as woody ground cover and logs were consumed. “Fire has been a natural process across this landscape for thousands of years,” said Randall Walker, District Ranger for the Kaibab National Forest. “Our special Wilderness places
will be more sustainable and resilient in the future because of this fire.” Today: Additional wetting rains and cloud cover are expected throughout the day reducing new fire growth. Firefighters will start mop-up operations as they seek and destroy
any hot spots near existing fire perimeter control lines. The fire will continue to smolder and creep toward the west and within the interior of the fire. Smoke:
With minimal fire growth, fire mangers anticipate minimal smoke from today’s fire activity.
