Crews and equipment continue to be demobilized from the site as mop-up is completed. Favorable weather conditions have continued to help keep the fire activity minimal and allowed crews to make significant progress.
Seventy-nine personnel remain on the site. Officials remind drivers to continue to use caution and slow down where crews are still active near the Parks Highway between Miles 94 and 100.
