Cooler overnight temperatures and higher humidity aided suppression of the Guzzler Fire. The fire transitioned to a Type 3 Incident Commander yesterday. Fire personnel are working through suppression tactics and balancing firefighter safety concerns in the area. A high priority for personnel is to keep the fire on the west side of Chevelon Canyon. Moderate movement is expected.
