The Sacred Path

InciWeb has just updated the status of the Bone Creek fire which is now at 25% containment and 3759 acres. The number of personnel assigned to this fire is now at 365.

According to InciWeb:

Fire Behavior: Moderate behavior with single tree and group torching. Fire behavior has moderated from previous, but is expected to increase as weather clears, RH drops and temperatures rise.

Planned Actions: If suitable weather exists, continue burn out operation to limit fire spread east of Road 10. Try to secure west flank. Assess structure protection needs along Highway 14.

InciWeb is now listing the Little Goose fire as 100% contained, which is good news for all of us. There is no word yet on whether the evacuation orders are still in effect or not, or whether the roads have been opened. As soon as I can get any information, I will post it.

Once again, a big thanks to all those who worked so hard to save property and extinguish this fire, and all those still working on the others.

UPDATE: Red Grade road is now open, but only cabin owners are being allowed into the cabin areas.

In case you had not heard, there were a couple injuries on Monday to firefighters on the Little Goose fire.

From InciWeb:

Two fire fighters were injured when a log that was being cut into smaller sections unexpectedly moved from a secure location. It hit the two fire fighters working next to the log. One fire fighter was treated and released. The second firefighter has a broken leg and was held overnight for observation. Both firefighters are expected to recover completely from their injuries.
