Mop up and structure protection continues on Himalaya Road Fire

Mop up and structure protection continues on the Himalaya Road Fire (#223), Aggie Creek Fire (#268) and Obrien Fire (#172). Crews work toward increasing containment on the Himalaya Road Fire along Haystack Drive. On the Aggie Creek Fire, crews finished prepping structures on Himilaya Loop Road and are assessing structures to the south of the fire. Firefighters on the Obrien Fire finished laying hose around the BLM Recreation shelters. All three fires are responding to the warmer, dryer conditions as interior pockets of fuel are burning.
