Comments and notes on flight:
The northern half of the fire was flown and the southern half was not. There is heat down through to the southern area of coverage, so it may be desired to fly the whole fire the next day.
All sides are still active to varying degrees. The most active heat and perimeter growth is in the northeast. The northern edge going to the west is also active and growing but not as much. The lower western edge and eastern edge have small areas of heat and small perimeter growth.
* Today we used a new starting perimeter that was provided by the team. This perimeter was smaller acreage than previous days NIROPS perimeter because of how islands, coves and inlets were counted. The change in acres is the growth from this new team perimeter, not the difference from yesterday’s NIROPS acreage.
Thursday Evening Update: 379,571 acres and 70% containment.
