Fire growth potential is high due to limited resources, limited access, steep terrain and dry fuels at higher elevations. The Frank Church River of No Return is closed ONLY within the Clear Creek Fire perimeter. The Twin Fire is staffed with a Type III crew, which is continuing mop-up activities. The Otter Fire in the headwaters of Panther Creek near the Morgan Creek summit continued to spread today. There is a crew on the fire.
Helicopters utilizing water drops assisted suppression activity.
Two fires were suppressed in the Pahsimeroi drainage today. Both fires started on BLM lands and were human-caused. Further updates will be distributed as information becomes available. Fire maps are available at the Salmon-Challis National Forest office on Highway 93 south of Salmon.
