With the fire now classified at Being Held, the EOC will only be providing updates as new information arises.
Crews are continuing to mop-up the edges of the fire with water. They have close to a 50ft cold edge on the whole fire and will keep working on this for the coming days.
Until this fire is classified as Out, residents can expect to see intermittent smoke over the coming weeks as the fire finds pockets of unburnt fuel from within the perimeter at high elevation. These areas are well within the fire perimeter and surrounded by previously burnt fuels.
The EOC will continue to monitor the fire and operations.
