—————

Widespread rain across the fire area last night helped cool some of the hotter areas of the fire. Showers and potential thunderstorms are likely this afternoon and are expected to further dampen fire behavior.

Fire crews worked Sunday to extinguish hot spots within containment lines. Monday’s operational period will focus on patrolling for any remaining hot spots for mop up, and repairing areas of the heaviest impact to protect waterways and other natural resources.

Firefighting crews will also be focusing on safety as the Sunday night rain has created slick conditions along the fire lines. Potential afternoon thunderstorms will bring conditions that will also need to be monitored.
