Little Sand Fire Activity

Little Sand Fire Update

Wednesday, June 27, 2012 7:30 pm

Overall activity was quiet today. Incident Operations reported some light moisture over the fire and generally cooler conditions. On the southwest perimeter, fire has begun to move west of the Davis Creek drainage into an area previously treated with prescribed burns. It remains north of the Piedra River.

Resources assigned to the Little Sand Fire assisted the San Juan National Forest with response to two very small fires caused by last night's lightning activity.

Conditions tomorrow are forecast to be drier, and a Red Flag Warning will be in place due to the heat, lower humidity, and winds and possible dry lightning from nearby thunderstorms.
