Firefighters completed structure preparation for approximately 33 structures along the Poorman Road area. At this time, there are no immediate threats to structures near the Camp Creek and Donut Fires. Crews will continue to monitor fire activity and assess structures as needed.
Structure preparation includes clearing nearby vegetation, installing pumps and hoses and a sprinkler system that can be turned on around buildings as the fire nears, and identifying any hazards around those structures. Hazards may include hazardous materials near the structure, a pile of firewood, or a dead tree that could topple over.
