Lionshead Fire Work Continues

Work on the 204,340-acre Lionshead fire is proceeding well, and containment is at 34%.  Fire crews are completing more containment line each day and looking for ways to attack the fire more directly where conditions allow.  Structural protection crews have shifted to patrol and chipping operations in Detroit and Idanha, as well as gathering the miles of hose used during the suppression effort.  Today, high winds are expected to increase fire activity, primarily consuming fuels in the interior, particularly in open areas.  Fire managers are developing hazard tree removal plans for Highway 22 to ensure safe public access, and for the 46 corridor to provide crews safe entry for mop-up.  The Rocky Mountain Area Type 1 Incident Management Team transferred command to the Pacific Northwest Incident Management Team 13 on Sunday evening.
