Winter trail fire update
Fire behavior increased as drying continued. Some creeping was observed, mainly in mixed hardwood stands. Pioneer Peak IHC worked to secure the perimeter in division N. Some activity near the perimeter by the division N/W break required bucket work from a helicopter. Mop up continued 200`-300` in from the perimeter on divisions A and F. Division W was unstaffed. On 6/23, crews will continue mopping up 300` in on Division A, F, and W. Mop up will begin in division N. Firefighters will patrol the perimeter. Reduction in size (-91 acres) is due to more accurate GPS mapping from a helicopter. 122 personnel remain on scene. The fire is 80% contained.
