The King Fire is advancing northeast toward Pete Lake through areas of dense timber. In response, incident personnel are implementing a full suppression strategy designed specifically for the challenging conditions on the ground, adapting tactics to address steep terrain, heavy fuel loading, and wind-driven fire behavior within sub‑alpine fir stands. Air resources will continue to provide water drops as conditions allow.

With the forecasted increase in fire weather and fire behavior, firefighters were able to keep the Three Queens Fire within primary containment lines and features from yesterday’s activity. While the acreage did increase, the valuable work on fuel breaks completed from this week’s handline and heavy equipment operations resulted in the holding of anchor points.
