Detwiler Fire Reaches 85% Containment, Repopulation Continues, Hot Spot Map Included

Greeley Hill, CA...As the containment numbers continue to climb and resources are starting to be released we thought we would pass along last night's heat maps. This will dictate today's workload for helicopters and boots on the ground as they cool off the warm spots on the map. Unfortunately is seems the hot spots are a bit more tightly packed in the Greeley Hill area. The official update from last night..."Last night more containment efforts were made. Further repopulation efforts will continue under the repoplulation plan. Sunny and dry weather continue today. The fire is seeing better humidity recoveries at night. We ask the public to exercise caution and remember that, “One Less Spark-One Less Wildfire”."
