Fire activity was much lighter yesterday than previous days. Containment on the Double Creek Fire increased to 15 percent for 10 miles along the Imnaha River corridor between Imnaha and Freezeout Road. The Double Creek Fire advanced to the Snake River in the Pittsburg Landing area. A river group was established to assess and protect structures along the Snake River.
Yesterday, firefighters continued firing operations to the north from the bed and breakfast along Lower Imnaha Road, keeping ahead of the fire. They continue to look for areas where topography allows them to move the control line farther from the road.
Firefighters completed mop-up operations from Imnaha south along the river corridor to Freezeout Road, and the area is in patrol status. Mop-up continues around structures along Freezeout Road. Structure protection operations are being extended farther south along Upper Imnaha Road.
The OSFM task forces continue structure protection operations in the Imnaha River Woods area.
