Incident Overview
Fire crews will continue mopping up hot spots on the fire perimeter and holding all lines on the fire perimeter. Smoke can still be seen within the fire as interior islands and heavy down material smolder. 

Fire crews will continue with fire line suppression repair. Fire line suppression repair is repairing or improving land damaged during fire suppression and line construction.

Resource Advisors identify natural and cultural resources which may have been impacted during the Willow Fire. 

The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team is scheduled to arrive at the incident today. The BAER program is designed to address emergency situations through its key goals of protecting life, property, and critical natural and cultural resources.
