Cougar Creek Fire: Scattered rain showers fell across the area Friday night. Remote automated weather stations around the fire varied from a one-tenth to one-hundredth of an inch.

It was a productive day on the fire Friday as crews continued to search for and extinguish any hotspots around the contained parts of the fire. Roads and fire lines are being repaired and much of the woody vegetation removed along the roads and contingency lines is being chipped. The Fish Lake...
