Nine smokejumpers jumped into the area north of Mount Adams Lake by parachute to help in the effort to fully contain the Cougar Creek Fire.  The smokejumpers, based out of north central Washington, went into a section of the fire with very steep and rugged terrain that makes access and suppression of the fire very difficult.  The smokejumpers are building direct containment line along the north and northwest section of the fire.  Dozers, hand crews, and fellers are continuing to improve contingency lines along Potato Hill Road.   The containment of the fire has increased to 60 percent, while size has been decreased to 53,162 acres due to more accurate GPS base mapping.  Although cloudy skies and cooler temperatures have helped moderate fire activity, fuels remain extremely dry.  Dead and down surface fuels will burn actively and heavy fuels will retain plenty of heat.
