Fires The Crescent Mtn. fire near Twisp continues to be the most active of area fires and grew 670 since yesterday to 45,120 acres. The nearby McLeod fire grew 0 acres and remains at 22,511 acres. Cougar Creek fire near Plain grew 143 acres to a total of 41,847 acres. Smoke Breezy winds yesterday kept smoke from accumulating and all monitors in the forecast with the exception of Twisp enjoyed good air quality. Fire and dispersion conditions today will be similar to yesterday although winds will be a little lighter so more smoke may find its way to populated areas. Winds will move smoke predominately to the East/Southeast again today. Long-Range Air quality is expected to remain reasonably good overall. Smoke is still in the area though and fires are still active so under more stable atmospheric conditions, degraded air quality could return especially in areas close to fires.

Fires Gusty winds and low humidities are contributing to active fire behavior, especially on the Crescent Mt. fire near Twisp (Crescent grew 734 acres yesterday), and the Cougar Creek fire near Plain (Cougar Creek fire grew 274 acres). The McLeod fire, north of Winthrop was fairly quiet yesterday and reports 0 growth. Fire size totals: Crescent: 44,450, McLeod: 22,511, and Cougar: 41,704. Smoke Fire and dispersion conditions today will be similar to yesterday. Fires are active and producing smoke but breezy conditions will prevent smoke from accumulating. Winds will move smoke predominately to the East/Southeast. Long-Range Air quality has improved considerably from recent conditions and is expected to continue to be reasonably good overall. Smoke is still in the area though and fires are still active so under more stable atmospheric conditions, degraded air quality could return especially to areas in close proximity to fires.

Acreage: 41,704 Containment: 50 percent Personnel: 381 Containment of Cougar Creek Fire Continues as Some Road and Recreation Sites Re-Open Cougar Creek Fire: On Thursday, columns of smoke were again visible from Plain late in the day as drier and warmer conditions caused the fire to become more active within its existing perimeter. Local residents and visitors can expect to see smoke emanating from the interior of the fire until a fire season ending event of rain or snow occurs. Thursday and Friday, firefighters continue to conduct burn-out operations at portions of the western part of the fire as conditions allow. Although this tactic does produce additional smoke, it is crucial to secure the fire line. The most active area of the fire is at its northern edge. In this area, crews continue to recon and construct containment lines fire between Signal Peak and Cougar Meadow. This effort is intended to halt the northern progression of...

Air quality Mostly "Good" air quality south and west of the fire this morning. Smoky conditions east of the crest will be slow to clear this
