Current Situation - updated 9:30 a.m.

Firefighters continued working through the night on the spot fire that was discovered in Bear Gulch yesterday afternoon. The fire was reported to be quite active over night, growing and spotting to an estimated 1,000 acres.

Night operations reported that the fire moved toward the west but still remains east of Clear Creek and north of Dog Creek Road that runs along Damnation Creek. Dozers worked through the night on forest roads along ridge tops to the north of the fire.

Firefighters will use these roads to gain access and start constructing firelines. Contingency lines are already in place having been built for the Delta Fire and recent Carr Fire.

Air Attack will arrive over the fire this morning to coordinate water dropping helicopters, water scoopers, retardant tankers and firefighters working on the ground. Boaters on Trinity Lake need to be aware of aircraft working in the area and move well out of the way.
