Winter Trail fire 95% contained

Mop up continued in divisions F and A, where 300` interior mop up is complete. Crews continued toward 300` mop up in divisions N and W. Observed fire behavior included smoldering in mixed hardwoods. Crews will continue to work toward 300` mop up and grid in all divisions. Gannett Glacier T2IA and Nondalton T2 crews will demob at 1400. The fire will be flown with palm IR from helicopter. Helicopter 99675 demobed at 1100 on 6/22 and helicopter 500EH will tentatively demob at 1400 on 6/24. 122 personell remain on scene. There was no change in size and the fire is 95% contained.

Given that the entire CVIB staff will be deeply immersed in a flood damage mitigation and subsistence workshop over the next 11 days, this is the last CVIB update on this fire unless it flares up again.
