Brady Fire grows to 400 acres near Pine Flats; evacuations in place as crews work toward containment
Today fire crews with the assistance of heavy equipment, where feasible, will continue to make access to the portions of the fire’s perimeter and construct line along the fires edge. The assessment of values at risk and protection efforts needed will resume. With forecasted winds, crews will look for opportunities to slow the fires progression to the north. Little growth was reported last night as cooler temperatures moderated fire behavior.
