Crews Expect Busy Day On Williams Mine Fire

Crews on the Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake say with westerly winds pushing smoke out of the area and clearing the air, they are preparing for a busy day, particularly near the South Climb Trail.  Fire managers say activity increased on Sunday as smoke moved out.  Crews extinguished a few spots near the edge of the fire, and will continue to monitor areas on the interior of the fire, even though that rarely poses a threat to containment lines.  The area of greatest concern continues to be the fire edge in the Morrison Creek drainage, west and northwest of the South Climb Trailhead.  Fire managers hope to stall the progression of the fire toward the South Climb Trail until weather conditions turn cooler and possibly rainy Tuesday night and Wednesday.  Acreage burned went up slightly to 13,082 acres, and containment remains at 31%.
