| Remarks | Pre-evacuation of residents along Highway 4, Big Meadow Campground, Sand Flat, and Camp Wolfboro continue in Div B. The shortage of needed resources stall affect suppression capabilities on the Ramsey Incident. Fire continues to burn actively during the heat of the day, producing up-hill runs and group torching. Steep terrain, heavy fuels, and large number of snags have halted direct line construction and night shifts on Div A and Z. |
