Evacuation levels for neighborhoods near the 7 Mile Lookout Fire (#222): Residents north of Butch Kuth Ave and on Jack Wade Road are at READY (Level 1). Residents on Osprey, Moose Nugget, and Goshawk Roads are at SET (Level 2).

Activities: Higher temperatures yesterday led to a slight uptick in fire activity in the interior of the fire boundary. Smoke may be visible from town today. Helicopters ran 22 buckets on the southeast side of the fire yesterday to continue securing the line and prevent fire spread. Firefighters will dig line along the southeast edge of the fire again today.

Weather: Northwesterly winds of 4-8mph are expected today. Higher temperatures and lower relative humidities may lead to a slight increase in fire activity.

Aircraft and Drone Restrictions: A temporary flight restriction (TFR) remains in place over the fire and will continue to be until further notice. The public is asked not to fly any type of aircraft, including drones, near the fire area. Unauthorized drone (UAS) flights pose serious risks to the effectiveness of wildfire suppression operations. Aerial firefighting is suspended when unauthorized UAS are in the area, allowing wildfires to grow larger.

Remember: If you fly, we can’t.
