Significant Events: Crews continued with the extensive rehabilitation of dozer lines and fire suppression repair work. Public meeting in Eagar. Remarks: Incident will continue with the demobilization of excess resources that are timing out, reassigning resources to other zones and supporting other incidents within the region. Lighter winds are allowing firefighters to make good progress with mop-up operations while other crews continued with suppression repair. Observed Fire Behavior: Continued smouldering of heavy fuels with small areas of isolated ground fire well within containment lines. Planned Actions: Crews will continue to mop up and securing fireline. Other resources will be continuing to conduct fire rehabilitation work including chipping along road sides and seeding dozer line with native seed. The team will continue with plans to transfer the fire back to the forest 6/27 at 0600hrs.

Significant Events: Resources successfully held constructed line in Branch VI and VIII and kept the fire north of Blue Ridge Creek. At 0800 hours today, the evacuation status for the Blue River area was changed from mandatory to area open to residents only. Remarks: New Mexico Congressman Pearce visited Zone 2 ICP and portions of Branch VIII. Reported acres in box 15 reflect Arizona 521,819 and New Mexico 15,407. Contingency planning is in progress to address concerns on the southern portion of the fire. Hwy 191 remains closed from Alpine mile marker 176 to north of Clifton mile marker 253. Percent contained as listed in Box 16 is calculated based on direct line construction. Since the Branch VIII strategy is to go indirect, e.g., along the Blue River drainage, the actual percent contained, based on this strategy, is higher than is reported. For this reason, the percent contained remained at 48%, even though resources made good progress with containment in Branch VI. Observed Fire Behavior: In Branch VIII, interior burnout continued but no significant fire behavior occurred due to aerial suppression efforts. In Branch VI only scattered heat and smoldering was observed. Planned Actions: In Branch VIII, resources will continue to strengthen and hold constructed line. Resources will continue construction of indirect line and prepare for burnout in Div. P from E. Hwy 191 toward the Primitive Area boundary in the Strayhorse drainage area. In Branch VI resources will patrol Alpine and west of Luna along Road 19 and 180, San Francisco River and JJ Ranch.
