Fire activity remained minimal overnight with no growth outside the current fire footprint. Infrared mapping identified a few interior heat sources in the easternsouthern parts of the fire, which crews will monitor. Today, crews will continue with previous work assignments, patrol the containment line on the west and north sides, and backhaul material and equipment. Suppression repair within the area is actively taking place by chipping material that resulted from the fire suppression effort. Along Nordheimer, crews line spiked overnight to ensure safety and have an early morning start of building and improving the direct line from China Creek to 10N23. Crews will be addressing the spot fire on the east side of China Creek. Resources continue to work on completing the indirect handline along the east side of the fire perimeter.
