Burdoin & Snyder Canyon update for Friday, July 25
Firelines held against gusty winds Thursday and reinforcement work progressed smoothly on the Burdoin Fire. On the Snyder Canyon Fire, crews continue to make good progress on building direct fire lines.
On the Burdoin Fire, crews are working to stop fire movement within the unburned “fingers” around Catherine and Major creeks, Lyle Snowden Road and Canyon Road, as well as a “horseshoe” on the east end of the fire.
Some ground resources were temporarily redirected from the Burdoin Fire to the Snyder Canyon Fire yesterday and were backfilled with the arrival of an additional hotshot crew and other resources. Structure protection activities were not impacted. Aviation resources are supporting operations on both fires.
Thanks to the fast initial response by local units, the Snyder Canyon Fire has not increased in size since Northwest 13 assumed command yesterday. Crews on the ground and in the air quickly boxed in the fire and will continue to add depth to the initial fire lines in the coming days.
