Continue assessment of damaged structures impacted by fire. Burnout in Water Canyon and South Fork. Aerial ignition in unburned pockets.
- Remarks: Type I IHC need to be replaced when timing out or extended. Resource numbers include the resources turned over to zone 2 in today's report. Injuries today include a stretched groin, and 2 allergic reactions.

- Significant Events: Partial Closures are in effect on Fort Apache Reservation and the Lakeside Ranger District of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest is in the process of establishing a closure order in areas potentially affected by the fire. Structure assessment and preparation of the Sunrise Ski Resort and surrounding area began. Crews continued to establish primary and secondary containment lines while conducting burnout operations as needed to stay aligned with the approaching fire.
- Remarks: Hughes Southwest IMT1 is responsible for Zone 3 defined as the western flank of the fire from the HWY 273 and 87 Road junction southward around the southern flank, then east along the fire edge to HWY 191. Uncontrolled westward spread on the Zone would create further critical impacts. In Branch 10 (northern), DIV DD Continued firing operations that began in the previous period required the resources from the Division to remain assigned to the North Zone during this period to complete the operation. Division D resources are prepping FR116 to conduct burnout operations coordinated with DIV DD. A structure protection group is assessing and prepping structures in the Sunrise Ski Resort area. In Branch 11 (central), DIV C is preparing the Y81 Road to the DIV B break for future firing operations while improving a contingency line along the Y20 Road. DIV B resources are continuing to hold and secure the previous shift burnout operations and will continue any firing necessary to prevent uncontrolled westward spread. In Branch 12 (southern), control line preparation is continuing In DIVS A, Z and Y with dozers and handlines along the 74 road and trail 33 through Malay Gap with firing operations occurring as necessary in DIV A to inhibit additional fire spread. Crews will begin mop-up and patrol in DIV A where the fire has been tied to the containment lines. In DIV Y, crews are prepping trail 33 along East Eagle Creek from HWY 191 west to the junction with FR704. Resource totals have been grouped into the "other" category until more accurate check-in data is available in the database.
- Observed Fire Behavior: Low intensity fire behavior today with backing and isolated torching due to the fire area being shaded.
- Planned Actions: Continued preparation and firing operations along control and contingency lines (if necessary) as the fire spread dictates. Further Coordination with adjoining Zones and Area Command as appropriate.
