The Clear Creek Fire is currently 77,000 acres. Ten residences and 1 commercial property remain threatened.
All fuels continue to burn readily with major runs and spotting.
Extremely steep rocky terrain is causing problems with rolling material and slowing construction of the hand line. Extreme burning conditions and the threat of Red Flag Conditions tomorrow will make containment difficult. Lack of resources, very low fuel moistures and limited access make the probability of spotting high. The fire is predicted to continue moving south towards Cobalt and east towards Trapper Ridge. The transition to the two new Type 1 Teams is in progress with a new Incident Command Post now established at Morgan Creek Summit.
