Ladies & Gentlemen, Good morning! Enclosed is today’s Fuller Fire Update for Wednesday, July 27, 2016. Thank you! Respectfully, David Hercher
A Drying Trend is in the Forecast Wednesday, July 27, 2016 Fire:
Fuller Fire Completion:
38% Acres:
14,385

Lightning Location:
Point Imperial, N. Rim Grand Canyon NP Total Personnel:
270
Fuels/Topography: Timber, grass, rugged terrain Firefighters continue mop-up operations along the southern perimeter of the fire while making progress with strengthening
the contingency fire lines along Forest Roads 610 and 611. Yesterday, moisture was received over parts of the fire which helped to moderate fire behavior. The most active part of the fire continues to be on the west flank in Fuller Canyon outside of the
Outlet Fire scar area. We expect a chance of rain today with a drying trend for the remainder of the week. Fire resources will assist with any new fire starts within the Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest North Zone area.
