FIRE UPDATE AUG 20
Today's Elk Fire update:
Current Situation: Yesterday afternoon, fire activity was moderated due to increased atmospheric moisture in the area. The Elk Fire continues to demonstrate low‑intensity creeping and smoldering behavior. Lingering moisture contributed to a slight improvement in overnight humidity recovery. Multi-mission aircraft mapping and ground-based mapping reduced the fire acreage by 24 acres, with a new total of 7,257 acres. Containment dropped by 2%, not because the fire grew, but because more precise mapping of the jagged edge of the fire perimeter increased the length of uncontained line, reducing the contained percentage.
On the northeast side of the fire, crews in Division A scouted locations to extend the fireline to the north and the west from the bottom of High Bridge drainage. Firefighters also completed digging handline around a hunting cabin for structure protection. Today, crews will continue to improve the line by removing available fuels along the line as they scout additional locations for line construction.
In Division G on the southeast side of the fire, crews strengthened fireline along constructed hand line and dozer line. Crews will continue reinforcing the fireline today by removing vegetation along the fireline edge and mopping up to extinguish areas of heat within the fire perimeter. Today crews will work on extending the fireline towards the Highway 149 corridor.
Weather and Fire Behavior: Moisture is expected to linger across the fire area today, with the potential for scattered thunderstorms developing in the afternoon. Overall conditions are predicted to remain dry, with temperatures and humidity levels comparable to those observed yesterday. Smoke may be visible at times. Overnight, a slight improvement in humidity recovery is forecast.
