Crews continue to make progress on mopping up hot spots within 600’ of the fireline. There was some interior burning in both fires, but helicopters worked to cool those areas down. A small burnout operation was done yesterday to tie in the line on the Toolbox Complex’s northeastern flank. Some crews and engines are being demobilized, as they have worked their 14-day shift, but other resources have arrived to replace them.

A safety stand-down will take place on the fire between 11:00-11:30 a.m. today. It will begin with a moment of silence to remember those who have given their lives in the line of duty this fire season. From all safety zones incident personnel will take 30 minutes to review the 10 standard orders, the 18 watchout situations, LCES and the specific hazards in each working area.

There are airspace restrictions over the Toolbox and Winter Fires due to the large number of firefighting aircraft in the area. Pilots should avoid areas where there is smoke and the terrain is charred.
