El Valle Fire Mapped

An infrared flight took place this morning, finding the size at 521 acres, as of 9:45 a.m. Containment remains at 0%.

This map shows the 521-acre burn area. Green shading is National Forest land (341 acres) and brown shading shows non-Forest Service lands (181 acres).

The fire is currently showing much less intense behavior, however, activity could pick up later today if dry thunderstorms arrive and produce high winds. Crews remain on scene working to strengthen dozer lines, increase containment and protect structures.
