The southwest US is burning

Planned Actions:

South Zone: Patrol and mop-up any heat that has a potential to threaten containment lines. Backhaul hose, garbage and any unneeded equipment. Look for opportunities to go direct when applicable. Identify potential contingency line. Begin suppression repair efforts based on identified priorities. Mop-up and secure the 83 Road from the 203 Road south to the 200MA Road. Mop-up and secure the 82A Road south from the 82F Road to the 203 Road. Mop-up and secure the 203 Road from the 83 Road north to the 203M Road. Mop up 200' in along the 203 Road from the 83 Road north to the 203M Road. Continue direct fire line construction from DP-125 along the fires edge through Bull Creek to the Skyline Ridge. Construct line from DP-731 to County Road 63 along the 646 Road. Construct line from Mora Campground to Iron Gate Campground. Scout and prep Hamilton Mesa Trail from Iron Gate Campground to Beatty Cabin to Skyline ridge using hand line and natural features along the Pecos River drainage. Provide for structure protection at the Beatty Cabins

North Zone: Based on fuel conditions, proximity, immediacy of fire threat, Red Flag conditions, and the associated lack of aircraft, a suspension of operations on indirect lines through the current weather event will occur, with the exception to pre-position resources. Branch XX - Patrol direct line north of Martinez Pond in DIV K south to the 518 road. Ensure the line South from Cerro Picacho to the 518 corridor is secure and any green between the dozer line and the perimeter does not present a threat to the line. Improve road system from Penasco to Ripley Point along the Bear Mountain Road to allow for heavy equipment necessary for timber removal to access the SW corner of the fire near Comales Cutoff. Continue to patrol perimeter west of Angostura. Patrol the Thumb Print of fire W of dozer line tie-in. Patrol and continue to mop-up fire south of Chacon and along the 120, 434, and 94 corridors. Be prepared to assist with initial attack as requested. Anticipate limited use of aviation due to forecasted weather. Branch XXV - Planned operations to continue fuels removal along the northern community protection line from Highway 518 to Highway 76, dozer line construction South to the Luna fire scar, and construction of contingency line along the Amole-Gallegos Sardinas-Luna ridge suspended due to current weather conditions. Branch *** - Planned operations to continue fuels removal north towards HWY 64, east of Angel Fire suspended due to current weather conditions. Provide IA support. Assess suppression needs throughout Branch and begin repair, as opportunity allows. Branch XXXV - Continue to patrol the 434 road and 120 road. Only complete chipping and other suppression repair where it can be done off open roadways
