Bertschi Fire Containment About 70%

An Interagency Management Team has put containment of the Bertschi Road Fire south of Glenwood at about 70% contained.  A control line, consisting of dozer line, hand line, and a system of forest roads, completely encircles the fire, and crews are working to suppress all hot spots within the fire.  Crews Monday were involved in mop-up work.  The fire has burned through heavy logging debris, leaving pockets of unburned dead and dying trees, and unburned needles scattered throughout, which could lead to reburn potential.  The fire started on Thursday and its cause remains under investigation.  A Temporary Flight Restriction remains in place over the fire.  Drone flights are illegal in the fire area and compromise firefighting work.
