Rain continues to moderate activity on the Moldy Fire (#279), with no new growth in reported 75,083 acres from yesterday. Fire crews directly engaged the fire edge along a southern allotment and advanced protections for an allotment to the north. The incoming Incident Commander is on site assessing needs and conditions ahead of assuming command tomorrow.

Moldy Fire (#279) – Fire managers are using the weather advantage to advance protections for allotments, and to field verify suspected damages. Meanwhile, crews continue to secure and mop up fireline, to reduce the chance of spread upon the return of dry conditions. The failure of a main water pump supplying the village of Huslia remains a challenge fire personnel are assisting with. The community has been completely without water for 5 days. No changes to the evacuation levels were reported.  

Caribou Fire (#128), Richards Fire (#251), Billy Hawk Fire (#182), and Billy Hawk 2 Fire (#191) – No changes reported. All four fires remain in monitor status with no new activity.
