Highlights: Yesterday the fire spotted across the lines on the north end of the fire. Both ground and air resources worked
to minimize the growth of this new front. Firefighters continued their efforts to stop the steady growth in the southwest
area but the intensity of the wind-blown fire behavior kept them from going direct. Despite this, progress was made on
containment lines in the area. On the Walhalla Plateau, crews made similar efforts but met with similar results.
Operations: To the north, ground and air resources will continue putting in fireline to keep the fire from extending north
or northwest. This strategy will run it into territory where it will quickly run out of fuel. In the southwest, firefighters will
continue working to establish an anchor point from which they can safely build more containment lines. The roads group
will assist them in approaching the fire from downwind. Managers are seeking a new strategy on the Walhalla Plateau to
prevent fire below the rim from trapping firefighters if it spots on top of the plateau. On the remainder of the perimeter,
crews are patrolling established lines and seeking areas that can be declared contained.
Weather and Smoke: Humidity is forecast to reach 15% today. The chance of scattered showers is 20%, but no
significant precipitation is expected. Winds will be gusty. Thursday and Friday will see a return of critical fire weather.
Smoke will remain visible from surrounding areas, including the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Residents and visitors
impacted by the smoke are encouraged to monitor local air quality conditions at outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net.
