Fire update
Double Snag Fire – Overnight containment increased to 50% and work by firefighters has “paid off in a big way,” said Incident Commander Trainee Tim Wilson. The fire received more moisture than anticipated overnight and Wilson was “pretty confident” that there will not be any more fire growth as the predicted warmer, dryer weather returns later this week. Crews will continue mop-up today and monitor some areas of concern, such as some dense stands of timber that last night’s rain did not penetrate.
Heavy equipment has completed 3 ½ miles of contingency line and continues to construct the 52 Road fuel break.
A total 69 personnel are assigned to the fire today, comprised of two hand crews, one falling module, two engines, five masticators and one dozer plus operators.
Weather: Decreasing clouds throughout the day with a slight
chance of showers. Clearing tonight. Temperatures 73-81°, Humidity 33-48%, Light winds from the
northwest.
