On the Loon Fire a similar suppression strategy will be used this morning with the large helicopter to make water bucket drops to slow fire spread and reduce intensity. Late yesterday the last observation on this fire noted that east-southeast winds were moving the fire towards Loon Lake. Ten firefighters will be transported to this fire this morning to assess the situation and develop options for direct extinguishment. Fire weakened trees and heavy dead and downed trees within the fire area are both safety concerns that fire crews will need to evaluate as risks to how they approach the suppression strategy.
