Update 10:30 am, 5/29/2019: The fire received some moisture yesterday and overnight. The fire is looking good but the smoke coming from the interior of the fire will continue to be visible as the heavier fuels such as dead logs, branches and pine needles continue to burn. Firefighters are allowing the fuels in the interior of the fire (away from the fire line) to burn off in order to make the area safer in the future.
