Fire edge tested under critical weather conditions

Highlights: Today high winds will be another test for firefighters holding the firelines.

Operations: Firing operations completed on Friday along HWY 260, State Route 261, and Forest Rd 409 proved to be successful yesterday as winds tested the fire’s edge. Crews were able to continue the largest remaining firing operation last night that connected Forest Rd 409 to the main fire on the south/southwestern edge.
