Tuesday Quiet For Williams Mine Fire

Tuesday was another quiet day on the Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, despite sunshine and periods of low relative humidity.  Fire officials say the main area of concern in the Morrison Creek drainage west of the South Climb Trailhead showed minimal growth.  Fire personnel continued to patrol and mop up on the fire’s edges, and worked on repairing damage caused by the suppression efforts.  Officials say there is a 50% chance of a “wetting rain” today that is capable of making fuels wet enough to not be easy to ignite.  While this will make fire activity decrease, it will not extinguish the fire.  The 13,089 acre fire is 31% contained.
