Please see today’s Mangum Fire update and smoke outlook from Southwest Incident Management Team #3. Mangum Fire Information Public Information: (602) 345-0469 Size: 66,294 acres
Containment: 23%
Cause: Under Investigation
Location: Origin 30 Miles SE of Fredonia Total Personnel: 677
Light Wind Aids Fire Fighting Efforts
Saturday’s weather continued with warm temperatures, light winds, low humidity, and active fire behavior. Interior pockets of unburned fuel remain inside
the perimeter and were observed creating afternoon smoke columns. The containment percentage changed by the end of the day indicative of firefighter’s progress. The northern portions of the fire remained active. However, work by firefighters continued to restrict the fire’s spread. Bull dozers and mastication
aided in widening contingency fire breaks along both Winter and House Rock Roads. Other portions of the fire were in patrol, improve, and mop up status while fire fighters watched for spot fires outside the perimeter.
Today’s weather forecast continues warm and dry. Firefighters will continue to hold and secure fire lines and anchor points around various portions
of the fire while exercising continuous vigilance for spot fires. Preparations are in place if the fire continues east towards House Rock Valley.
