UPDATE 4-6-24 9:30am
The fire continues to smolder and burn but did not grow overnight. The area received 2-3 inches of snow which is helping to keep the fire from spreading. Approximately 25 firefighters will be working today. Air resources may be used later today if weather permits. Empire Electric is on scene working to restore power. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
