A type 3 management organization is in place. Due to cooler and wetter weather, and subsequent fire behavior, fire managers have chosen to attack the fire directly. Crews were re-inserted on the fire and began securing the perimeter. Crews made good progress on both flanks of the fire and the fire is 40% contained. Allotment and structure assessments continued along the Kuskokwim River corridor. Observed fire behavior was limited to creeping and smoldering. Crews will continue securing the perimeter from H-30 toward the head of the fire and mop up from H-30 back to the
heel. 137 personnel are working the fire. A TFR remains in place above the fire area. Increase in acreage of 92 acres.
