Please see today’s Mangum Fire update and smoke outlook from Southwest Incident Management Team #3. Mangum Fire Continues to Test Lines North of Highway 89A Monday continued the pattern of hot dry weather observed during the past several days. On the fire’s north east section, the fire continued to challenge
fire fighters with afternoon runs. The fire was steadily burning downhill towards House Rock road. Firefighters were prepared and poised to intercept the fire as it moved toward prepared lines. Firefighters continued to reinforce containment lines, monitor for spot fires, and conduct suppression repairs in sections of the fire perimeter that
have been secured. The weather forecast for Tuesday is for continued hot and dry conditions with low humidity and an unstable atmosphere, ideal conditions for fire growth.
Fire managers plan to focus resources on the NE section of the fire where it remains active. Crews, utilizing water drops, dozers, and handline tactics, will continue efforts to limit the northern section’s eastward growth.
