The steep and rocky terrain continue to be an issue for securing portions of the fire. Crews laid hose lines and prepared 016 Road for a scheduled burnout today. Haynes Fire Smoke was visible in the northeast part of the fire due to large down and dead fuels being consumed in the area. Some resources will move over to the Haynes Fire to assist with suppression. Firefighters will continue to build direct and indirect line today in their efforts to reach 100% containment. Iron Fire Crews made outstanding progress yesterday and were able to increase containment to 75%, assisted by helicopters dropping water on hot spots. Hot spots remain in the South Fork of Big Deer Creek and on Gant Ridge on the Mud Lick Fire.
Hot, dry weather continues to contribute to the critically dry fuels with fuel moisture below 9%. Constructed firelines held and there was very little growth on the Iron and Haynes fires.
