The Roundabout Complex remains active with dynamic fire behavior overnight. Firefighters are making progress across the complex, with resources shifting focus and hotshot crews repositioning to address critical needs.
Yesterday, fire behavior on the Lush Fire (#199) was active with small wind-driven winds, flanking, and backing. The most active area of the fire was on the southwest corner. Smokejumpers were inserted into that corner to construct direct line and keep fire out of the Native Alaska Allotments. Later in the day, helicopters with buckets and then water scoopers performed effective operations on this area. They were also utilized on the northern flank of the fire where areas of heat have been detected.
