"Fire activity increased yesterday afternoon crossing Red Cap Creek on the west flank. The fire is 5,218 acres and 5% contained. Yesterday, crews made significant progress along the fire’s northern edge through strategic firing operations putting fire on the ground from just east of Black Mountain heading west along Lubbs Trail and Forest Road 10N01 to the Salmon Summit Trailhead," the update reads.
The Salmon fire is 759 acres and 29 percent contained.
The update also states a red flag warning has been issued over the fire area today and tomorrow for increased temperatures and low relative humidity. "The atmosphere is unstable enough today where intense heat could break the weak mid-level inversion and produce a convection column," the update reads.
