Firefighters are making steady progress in containing the Moon Complex fire, which has burned 19,520 acres and is currently 34% contained. The fire, sparked by lightning, has seen significant handline repair along its northern flank, with ongoing chipping operations along FSR 5520 supporting suppression repair efforts. On the east flank, skidder operations have been completed, and dump trucks are on-site to remove debris.
Crews continue to patrol the southern flank and river corridor for isolated heat sources while advancing suppression repair and backhaul operations. An excavator has successfully repaired a section of dozer line on the southern flank. The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team is surveying the fire area to assess damage to vegetation, roads, stream channels, facilities, and cultural resources. Their findings will be reported to the US Geological Survey and made publicly available.
