Firefighters protect residences as wildfires continue to burn

BY 2025HIMALAYAROADFIRE on JUNE 25, 2025

Fire crews continue suppression efforts as moderated fire activity leads to good progress on protecting residences east of the #HimalayaRoadFire (#223).

Yesterday, air operations supported efforts by dropping water on the fire east of Haystack Road to address a flare-up. Today, fire crews will continue to construct fire line between the west and south side of the Himalaya Road Fire (#223) away from residences and structures and reinforce containment line towards the Elliot Highway. Work on a containment line on the Haystack Mountain ridgeline north of residences Tuesday will continue to progress north to further improve the fuel break. On the #AggieCreekFire (#268), crews scouted potential fire line locations in steep, forested terrain and continue to protect cabins near Washington Creek. A dozer line was completed along the perimeter of the #WashingtonCreekFire (#232). Fire activity is expected to be moderated by moist weather today.

Moist conditions are expected for the next several days, with Thursday being the best chance for wetting rains. Scattered smoldering but no perimeter growth and little smoke production anticipated. A potential drying pattern beyond Friday could produce a return to surface spread with torching.
