Containment of the Williams Mine Fire remains at 31% as command of the fire scene was transferred to a Type 3 Incident Management Team on Tuesday evening.  Size remains at 11,778 acres.  Crews continue patrolling and monitoring the fire for heat near established control lines.  Tuesday’s dry and windy weather caused an increase in fire activity, nearly all of it in the interior.  To the west, the shaded fuel break on Forest Service Road 23 is nearing completion.  The Gifford Pinchot National Forest is working to reopen part of that road not impacted by the fuel break work, to provide an alternate route between Trout Lake and Randle.
