Greer Fire update; high winds continue to test fire perimeter

An extensive amount of work has been completed on all divisions of the fire since Tuesday. With multiple days of Red Flag Warnings and wind advisories, control lines have been tested and are holding. Crews were able to complete the remaining portions of the firing operation yesterday morning that connected Forest Rd 409 to the main fire on the south/southwestern edge. As a result of substantial work securing heat near the edge of the line, fire managers were able to add some containment to the fire this morning.
