Taking advantage of the weather, and fire behavior moderation, crews continued working the fire perimeter. Good progress was made up the West flank in division F, as crews made it from H-30, North around the head of the fire securing the line to the division F/N break. Crews mopped up in 100` from H-30 to the Kuskokwim River. The Chena IHC demobed and returned to Fairbanks. Fire behavior was limited to smoldering under mixed hardwoods and there was no change in size. On 6/22, crews will continue securing the perimeter from the division F/N break South through division N toward division W. Crews will begin mop up in division F. Mop up to continue to 300` in division A. The TFR was removed from the fire area. 143 personnel remain on the fire. The fire is now 70% contained.
