Outlook

Planned Actions

WEST ZONE:

Provide for the life safety of citizens and emergency responders. Implement structure and critical infrastructure defense. Construct control lines and take advantage of targets of opportunity as allowed by fire behavior and resource limitations. Improve and hold established control lines. Prepare for firing operations and implement burn plans. Identify and establish contingency lines. Tactical patrol of perimeter contained.

EAST ZONE:

In the Christmas Valley area crews are continuing to construct direct containment lines from Highway 89 west to Scout Peak to reduce the threat to structures.

In the Pioneer Trail area, resources will continue with structure defense tactics, patrolling, prepping structures and utilize direct fire suppression tactics where safe to do so.

On the northeastern side of the fire in the Cold Creek Drainage area, resources are working with local utility companies to open road systems to connect to dozer line to stem continued fire spread to the northeast.

On the north end of the fire, crews will continue to construct direct fireline from Highway 50 to Echo Lake. In the Echo Lake area, structure defense operations will continue.

A contingency group is locating and building contingency lines in the event of fire crossing primary containment lines.

Planning is occurring to mitigate

potential threat to communities in the Foothill Road area.
