Devil’s Butte Fire Reaches 75% Containment

The Devil’s Butte Fire is now at 75% containment.  Size of the fire remains listed at 2,865 acres.  A Type III command team and other resources were transitioning off the fire Wednesday night, and will continue to do so today, with a local Type 4 team taking over today.  Three engines and one Interagency Hotshot crew will remain on the fire.  Firefighters will continue to watch for hotspots and mop-up the fire area within 50-100 feet of the containment lines.  Air resources remain available to assist ground crews if needed.  Some residents are still without power in the fire area, but fire officials say restoration is expected today.  Highway 206 is open through the fire area, but motorists are asked to drive carefully as there will continue to be fire resources on the roadways.
