Little Giant Fire – Sat Update

A Complex Incident Management Team arrived in Plain Thursday night and has officially assumed command of the Little Giant and Dirty Face fires.

The Dirty Face fire has received some water drops from helicopters over the last few days and remains small and continues to cool. The larger dynamic Little Giant fire is currently burning in steep terrain several miles up Chiwawa River Road, driven by winds pushing largely toward the East. As seen in the photo below, fire activity in pockets of dead and living timber has at times created prominent smoke columns visible across the county. The fire remains several miles outside LWFR district boundaries in the Fish Lake area.
