Today, crews are working on the last remaining heat along the fire line and working on areas identified by the PalmIR (specialized infrared units). Crews continue to grid and patrol along the fire lines for any remaining heat areas that might have been missed. Remaining hoses and pumps that were used to aid in containment are being dismantled and backhauled to fire camp, to be organized and returned to fire cache. Suppression dozer and handlines, where not critical to containment needs, will continue to be repaired and allowed to return to its natural state.

Crews will continue to demobilize from the incident as containment continues to rise. These crews will be either returning to their local district or reassigned to other fires. The fire camps will be consolidating, in preparation for Pioneer Day events in Davenport and to limit impact as much as possible for the festivities.
