Interpreted size:  452,155 acres
Growth last period:  8,166 acres
Comments/notes on flyover mission and interpretation:

  • The northern end still had some pockets of scattered heat, but was cooler again last night. has with the previous IR, most of the remaining heat was in Water Canyon, and the Little Colorado. 
  • There was still quite a bit of heat along the perimeter south of Greer on the west side of the fire, burning toward 113 and around Burro Mountain. There was also some scattered heat in the Black River Valley, but little perimeter change.
  • The South side of the fire continues to burn south downhill with intense heat, but not for long distances. There is one finger of heat that is running to the east in Steeple Creek that has intense heat. At the confluence of the Blue River and Camble Blue Creek there was a finger of intense heat that appeared to be along road 281.
  • On the east side, the area around Alpine had cooled off from the previous IR. There was still some scattered heat near Alpine Divide. The burnout operation along 220 moved further west with intense heat. No heat was detected on the east side of the burnout. There was some scattered heat remaining along 275 near the intersection with 851. The area around Nutrioso had some scattered heat on the west side of Escudilla Mtn.
