Ladies & Gentlemen, Good morning! Enclosed is the Fuller Fire update for Tuesday July 26, 2016. Thank you! Respectfully, David
Fuller Fire being managed using a combination of strategies Tuesday, July 26, 2016 Completion:
38% Acres:
14,385 Start Date:
June 29, 2016 Cause:
Lightning Location:
Point Imperial, N. Rim Grand Canyon NP Total Personnel:
270 Fuels/Topography:
Timber, grass, rugged terrain Yesterday, we stated in our update
that we are using a completion percentage for the Fuller Fire versus a containment percentage. The percentage of completion reflects the progress towards completion of all incident objectives for the fire. The Fuller Fire is being managed with a combination
of strategies for suppression and natural resources benefit. The
Fuller Fire Management Objectives have been reassessed by the Type 3 Management Team and the percentage has decreased by 28%. This does not mean that the fire size has increased or the percentage contained
has changed. Today, fire crews will continue to work along FSR 610, FSR 611, and the Arizona Trail to strengthen contingency firelines.
Firefighters continue to assess the fire’s movement to the north and west throughout the day and will take action as necessary. Fire resources will also assist with any new fire starts within the Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest North
Zone area. The forecasted weather for this week includes moist monsoonal air over the burn area through Tuesday and then a drying trend is expected to begin on Wednesday.
