ANOTHER DIFFICULT DAY EXPECTED FOR FIRE CREWS WORKING THE ASSAYII LAKE FIRE … WHICH NOW THREATENS 50 HOMES AND HAS DESTROYED SEVERAL STRUCTURES. IT'S UNKNOWN EXACTLY HOW MANY STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED. FIRE OFFICIALS HOPE TO GET A COUNT ON THOSE SOONER THAN LATER.
WINDS OF UP TO 50 MILES PER HOUR MADE THE FIRE FIGHT ESPECIALLY CHALLENGING FOR NEARLY 700 PERSONNEL WORKING THE FIRE ON TUESDAY. THEY NOW PLAN TO SCOUT THE FIRE AND BUILD INDIRECT FIRE LINES WHEN AND WHERE THEY CAN. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND SHOULD BE ARRIVING THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
THE ASSAYII LAKE FIRE STARTED LAST FRIDAY AND WAS HUMAN CAUSED.
