FIRE ACTIVITY:
The Dollar Lake Fire is currently 9891 acres and 0% containment. As resources begin arriving for the Dollar Lake Fire, firefighting activities are shifting. Beginning today, firefighters will be divided into five divisions rather than two, and will continue fireline construction that will lead to fireline containment and will protect structures. Firefighters will continue to improve the containment line along the Green River Lakes Road on the north side of the fire. They will also begin dozer line construction to the south of the fire. Hand crews are moving to the southeast side of the fire to scout fireline utilizing natural holding features. Monsoonal moisture begins returning to the area Sunday, increasing the chance of high fire behavior, especially from gusty outflow winds. Chances of wetting rain are minimal.
WEATHER:
Today will be mostly sunny with high temperatures in the mid-70s and minimum relative humidity of 17%. Winds will be southwest to west at 9 to 11 mph, with gusts to 15 mph. There is a 10% chance of isolated showers or thunderstorms in the late afternoon.
