At the site of the Williams Creek Fire, officials say crews dismantled pumps and water-handling equipment from Wild Horse Lake yesterday. Crews to the north of the fire and in Orogrande also worked on removing equipment no longer needed as weather conditions are assisting in battling the fire. The Williams Creek Fire was listed as 16,084 acres in size with 31% completion, and the Twin Lakes Fire was listed as 992 acres with 40% completion as of Thursday morning. Fire managers say the northern portion of the Williams Creek Fire received about a half inch of rain on and some small-sized hail on Wednesday. The southern side of the fire did see as much rain. The nearby Twin Lakes Fire also received periodic precipitation throughout the day. Humidity levels ranged from the high 40s to low 70s, with temperatures topping out in the mid-60s.
