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.
