Sprinklers and hazard reduction mitigation measures continue along the East and West Forks, Hugh Creek, and the Lost Trial Ski Resort communities. All areas are still on alert with structure protection plans in place. Until anchor points and direct attack occurs in the East Fork and other residential areas, the threat continues. The Army crews are in the final stages of training and will assist with structure protection this week. Due to slower winds, fire activity continued to be moderate.
Fire is smoldered and crept with some minor torching occurring.
Hot spots continued to flare up within some portions of the interior of the fire. North of Skalkaho Road, firefighters continued consolidating firelines and mopping up. South of Skalkaho Road, crews attacked hotspots to secure the west flank of the fire. Some rehabilitation of fire line was begn, structural protection continued along the road. On the east flank, the Bitterroot Hot Shot crew continued wet mopping along the road to reduce the potential of the fire crossing the road to the north side.
