That location seems to be on the KNF. Is there SRA in that spot?

That clinched it then. KNF. Two large fires there in the last four years. Beaver and Gap. Tough country.

Has this fire been contained? I ask because ihc crew Mad River was called last night only to report today, Long after last update had been posted. Any update would be greatly welcomed. Thanks.

Turns out to be a little less that 100 acres. There should be some demobes tomorrow. All state resources off the fire. If all goes as planned it will go to a type 4 Saturday.
