Bear Creek drainage to Clark’s Grade has been a challenge for crews. Slowly chunking away in rough country.

That’s pretty much what it looked like yesterday, too.

Much more significant then yesterdays increases.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see another 3500 acres

They’ve got good contingencies and if weather permits be able to fire out and control the pace. Difficult terrain.

Heavy winds expected on the incident today. Even with the cooler conditions there is potential to get alignment and wind drove runs.

This will be a great test to there lines!

Deep pockets of heat in the Bear Creek/Siberia Creek drainage that had been kept in check by the weather for last week or so are starting to get a little sporty with the warmer and drier conditions. Bear Peak South 2 camera showing the column coming out of there. Yesterday an interior island put up a column visible from Highland area, hopefully it remains the same today with just interior islands burning themselves out and cleaning themselves up. Team transition to federal team coming either tomorrow or Friday, base camp moving up to Snow Valley by end of day tomorrow.

This doesn’t look like an island burning off with all that green in front. Is this real fire already this morning on this???
