Hard Luck Creek fire

From the morning report: Poor road conditions have hampered moving crews around the fire. Fire behavior was limited to smoldering. Mop up continues on all Divisions 1-2 hundred feet inside lines.

The fire was transitioned to a Type 3 fire crew releasing the Type 2 fire crew from New Mexico this past Monday. At that time, containment was nearly 100%. Acres are estimated at 12834 and crew is now down to 225.
