The Kinkaid Fire is 4.5 miles north of Owhi Lake. Fire camp was established in Keller and transitioned command at 0600 today to allow for MTFC teams to get much needed respite. The IMT and MTFC will continue to collaborate throughout the duration of this incident.

Today: The focus of today is to minimize exposure and impact to natural resources including tribal timberlands, cultural sites, while conducting fire suppression activities. Fire crews will be working on minimizing fire spread and targeting hot spots. In hard to reach areas air support may be utilized to assist ground crews. The goal is to minimize cost and resource damage while keeping the fire in the smallest footprint possible.
