Williams Mine Fire Containment Up To 10%

The Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake moved up to 10% containment, with acreage burned also up to 11,696.  Spencer Gregory with Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 13 Field Operations says they feel good about protection of the southern and eastern areas of the fire.  To the north, Gregory says they are still looking for opportunities to add containment line in rugged terrain.  One of the obstacles is dealing with large amounts of downed snags in a fire scar.  The possibility of showers moving through the fire area is expected to run from this evening into Thursday, so conditions will not be conducive to fire behavior, though there will be smoldering on the surface that may create visible smoke.
