Additional lightning strikes have been detected today in the southeastern corner between the fire boundary and Scotts Peak Rd. Crews are currently working to extinguish these.

Ground crews in conjunction with air support are still making good progress with consolidation of containment lines in all other areas around the fire boundary.
