Lightning Starts New Fires

Weather conditions last night produced a localized lightning storm in the area of the Horseshoe Fire in the Mt. Adams Wilderness. Lightning strikes started two fires. The size of the fires is unknown, as the Incident Team managing the Horseshoe Fire is also investigating these new fires. 305 personnel are on the scene as mop-up work around the perimeter of the fire continues and some are working suppression on the new fires. The Horseshoe Fire is still 250 acres and now 15% contained. Full containment is still expected on Sunday. The lower temperatures and higher humidity this weekend should help, although gusty winds could mitigate some of that help. The cause of the Horseshoe Fire is still unknown.
