More Current Fire Information: The Mule Fire is now 100% contained. Crews are beginning to ship out to either go home or on to fires in other areas. Some crews will remain behind to tend the fire and continue to work on mop up and rehab. The North Carolina Command team will be headed home after the weekend and local officials will take over the fire.     Contained does not mean controlled, just that fireline has been completed around the blaze. Fire fighting crews continue to work in from the 200 foot black line around the perimeter of the fire, clearing dangerous snags and any burning trees and moving in to a 500 foot perimeter. In reality, this fire won't be completely out until the snow flies in the fall, in October or November.    This fire has been estimated at 3,930 acres and is being managed by 17 hand crews (20 persons per crew), 3 Helicopters, 15 wildland fire engines, 6 water tenders and 2 dozers. There are over 550 personnel on this fire. The blaze is located approximately 20 miles west of Daniel in the Horse and Beaver Creek drainages of the Wyoming Range on the Big Piney Ranger District. There have been no serious injuries to date on this fire. The fire camp base is located on the Ryegrass/Cottonwood road just south of the Merna/Cottonwood cutoff road.
