FIRE UPDATE AUG 21
Today's Elk Fire update:
No change :-)
Current Situation: Afternoon thunderstorms from the northwest brought minimal precipitation to the area yesterday. Storms lingered longer than previous days which moderated fire behavior and provided a smaller burn window. Overnight, the fire area experienced moderate humidity recovery.
Division A is making steady progress on the northeast side of the fire, focusing on identifying opportunities to extend the fireline from High Bridge Gulch to the North and the West. The terrain in that area is rugged, and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have been useful in locating pockets of residual heat. There was no fire activity observed in Independence Gulch. Today, crews will continue removing fuels on the fireline edge and extinguishing areas of heat within the fire perimeter. Crews will also be maintaining close oversight of the fire within the Highway 149 corridor where discontinuous fuels have slowed fire progression.
On the southeast side of the fire, Division G is reinforcing existing fireline by widening the line, removing remaining vegetation, and securing any weak points to ensure it will hold under changing conditions. Today, crews will continue to go direct, extinguishing hot spots inside the fire perimeter. Crews will also be scouting opportunities to extend the fireline toward the Crystal Lake and Larson Lake Trail areas.
Weather and Fire Behavior: Forecasts indicate an afternoon high-pressure system with more widespread showers and storms progressing northward. It is unlikely that a wetting rain will fall over the fire area, and overall conditions are expected to remain warm. Storms may linger longer over the fire area tonight. Crews will operate under heightened oversight due to the potential risks associated with additional rainfall and storm activity.
