Cedar Creek Fire Update, August 17Acres: 4,836Containment: 0%  ·There will be a virtual public meeting tonight at 7:00 p.m. on Facebook· https://www.facebook.com/CedarCreekFire2022/   Highlights: Warm and dry conditions increased fire behavior on the southeast corner of the fire yesterday and heavy helicopters were used to cool hot spots to ensure that fire activity remained low in the wilderness. Small helicopters and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UAS” also known as “drones”) dropped Plastic Sphere Devices (PSDs) on the southwestern flank to continue backing fire down the ridge into the Cedar Creek drainage on Black Creek Road.
