The Salmon River and the Middle Fork of the Salmon are open . Vehicle access to the eastern part of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness is unavailable to the Yellowjacket, Big Horn Crags and Clear Creek trails because roads entering Unit 28 in these areas are still closed. Forest users can now access the Meyers Cove and Camas Creek areas. As more areas of the Forest are re-opened to public access, forest users should be cautious. Many of the fires are still active and as daytime temperatures rise, the vegetation starts to dry.
Fires can rekindle.
The Marlin Springs Fire will have two crews patrolling the containment lines today. Fire activity significantly increased yesterday afternoon on the Clear Creek Fire. High winds and low humidity caused torching and runs in the interior of the southeast edge of the fire. Three loads of retardant were used at the areas posing the most serious perimeter threat. Mop-up around 85 percent of the perimeter is complete.
