Incident Overview
In spite of gusty winds, full containment was achieved on the Pine Ridge fire today. Afternoon winds gusting to 35 miles per hour buffeted the area limiting visability with flying dust and ash; but crews reported no problem holding the fire within it's perimeter. Incident Commander Bill Hahnenberg and the Type 1 Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team will turn over suppression efforts to a smaller organization effective Thursday morning at 0600.
