Williams Mine Fire Management Transitions To Local Team

Management of the Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake was transitioned Thursday from a Type III Incident Command Team to a local Type IV Team.   The fire that started on August 5 has burned 13,092 acres and is listed as 32% contained.  The Gifford Pinchot National Forest says full containment is not anticipated on the fire until a season ending event arrives, like multiple days of soaking rain or snow.  An area closure remains in effect on Gifford Pinchot National Forest lands in the vicinity of the fire.  There are still patrol and mop-up operations ongoing, as well as a significant amount of road repair work taking place.
