| Summary: |
| The Alaska Type 1 IMT assumed command of the incident at 0600 Friday. All staged crews were moved out to the line. Boats arrived to assist with structure protection on the Chatanika River. Dozers worked their way down the ridge from Hayes Creek to the fire`s edge. A return to warmer temperatures and lower RHs led to increased fire behavior. Strong South winds caused the fire to grow NW toward Washington Creek. Aviation assets assisted with slowing the fire`s growth along the east flank. Preparations continue in the McCloud subdivision and along Old Murphy Dome Road. |
