FIRE ACTIVITY:
The Dollar Lake Fire is currently at 15,282 acres and 25% containment.
Yesterday, fire crews completed successful, strategic firing operations on the southeastern end of the fire. This tactic was used to remove heavy dead-and-downed trees and snags, furthering protection around the Bible Camp and Kendall Valley communities while reducing risk to firefighters. Today, crews on the west side of the fire continue to mop up and patrol to ensure the fire remains within established control features, as well as work with resource advisors on plans for suppression repair. On the northernmost end of the fire east to Green River Lakes Campground, firefighters are mopping up and reinforcing existing control features, if needed. Firefighters on the eastern interior of the fire will scout for routes to construct indirect line from Little Sheep Mountain to the southeast. Crews continue to construct and improve direct line between Little Sheep Mountain and the Bible Camp area. The structure protection group continues to bolster defense systems around the Bible Camp area and improve defensible space. The structure group will also assist with initial attack of new starts within the Dollar Lake Fire area.
Note that fire activity may increase as weather continues to become warmer and drier.
There are no changes to the closure, evacuation order areas, or fire restrictions.
