Williams Mine Fire Size Slightly Up

Size of the Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake moved up to 12,661 acres according to an update from fire officials on Wednesday morning, primarily due to a new visual mapping flight.  Containment remains at 31%.  Fire officials reported activity was greatly reduced near Morrison Creek after extensive water applications by air on Monday and a few showers early Tuesday.  Hot areas continued to burn, but at a lower intensity.  Fire crews took advantage of that to complete improvements on the South Climb Trail, preparing it for use as a control line if needed.  A helicopter reconnaissance flight on Tuesday saw a few areas with smoke, but most were in the far interior.
