Beginning as early as September 8, low intensity backfires will be ignited along trail systems, the edges of green meadows, and fire scars to strengthen these areas as containment features, and then consume fuels between them and the main fire. As these low intensity backfires are ignited, the total fire size will increase daily. Within the proposed indirect containment lines, crews expect to take 8 to 10 days to fully implement the strategy. Monitoring and patrolling of containment lines is expected to last for several weeks afterwards.
