Moonlight Fire Update 9/13/07 1930 Hrs.
Incident: Moonlight Wildland Fire
Released: 9/13/2007
Containment lines held through the Red Flag warning. Winds were actually beneficial in reducing the risk to lines, aiding interior burning. Good mop-up efforts 100-300' in. 89% containment, 64,997 acres with no growth. Greenville, Taylorsville, and Indian Valley areas will be smokey in the morning for the next few days due to smoke funneling down drainages and an inversion. With less wind, these areas will get smokey. 9/17 is the projected full containment date. Humidity levels will rise through tonight and temperature will be colder. Some crews will begin to demobilize as they reach their 14-day limit.
The Fire Information call center will reduce hours from 6 am to 6 pm beginning tomorrow, 9/14.
