The fire is currently holding at 12,000 acres, but is 0% contained. Priority for today is to construct a fire line around the entire perimeter, then to assess and contain. Thunderstorms are expected again this afternoon which can either help or hinder fire suppression efforts. Please stay out of the area unless you are directly involved with the fire suppression effort.

Cottonwood Evacuation has been lifted! Edgemont is no longer under pre-evacuation notice.  This announcement comes after evaluation of the fire after this evening’s air-drop and the rain storm that followed.  (7/17/2016, 8:30pm)
