CORDUROY FIRE
Fire suppression repair is being conducted on all hand and dozer lines, roads, trails, staging areas, safety zones, and drop points that were used during the suppression of the Corduroy fire. These actions are taken to minimize soil erosion and other adverse impacts resulting from fire suppression activities. Firefighters will continue to patrol and monitor to mitigate any threats to containment lines.
