FIRE ACTIVITY:
The Dollar Lake Fire is currently 11,510 acres and 0% containment.
Despite the fire growth, there have been no injuries reported nor structures lost.
There are now two structure groups for the fire and they have been busy defending numerous sites, including outfitter camps, feed lots, the Red Cliff Bible Camp, and the historic Billy Wells Camp. In addition to the structure groups, firefighters working on the fireline continue to improve containment lines and scout locations for additional containment and contingency lines. Their work is augmented with substantial air support.
Monsoonal moisture continues to increase in the fire area, though it does bring with it the possibility of gusty and erratic outflow winds.
