Please see today’s Mangum Fire update and smoke outlook from Southwest Incident Management Team #3. Wind Aligns With Terrain on NE Portion of Fire Pushing Flames East Sunday westerly winds aligned with east draining canyons to push the fire off the rocky slopes towards the House Rock Valley. By afternoon, a large
smoke column developed over the NE portion of the fire. Fire managers responded with air tankers and helicopters dropping retardant and water to aid crews poised to intercept new eastward fire movement.
The other portions of the fire perimeter remained active but within containment lines. Fire fighters continued to improve, patrol, and monitor the rest
of the fire perimeter with great success. Today’s weather forecast continues warm and dry. Firefighters will again hold and secure fire lines and anchor points around various portions of the
fire while watching for spot fires. The northern portion of the fire will be the main effort as other portions cool. Crews will continue efforts to limit the fires northern section’s growth eastward.
