Remarks:
The Partridge Fire
will continue to be managed in such a way as to allow the fire to play its role
in the ecosystem while protecting values at risk. The fuels mitigation
work continues along existing roads and other natural fire barriers ahead of
the fire project area boundary. At this time, the fire is slowly working its
way to the north and west. The fire is
burning in a mosaic pattern, with isolated pockets of intensity; however, most
of the fire is burning at a low intensity, allowing for the natural role to
play out. In the future this will help
provide a fuel break for other fires that may begin and give firefighters the
ability to protect other resources and slow the fire.

Weather: Today,
the National Weather Service in Pocatello has issued a Red Flag Warning – an
advisory indicating potential weather factors that may contribute to fire
growth –due to predicted low relative humidity and gusty outflow winds
associated with incoming weather. The anticipated weather system is
expected to bring increasing winds over the next couple of days followed by a
cold front which should bring moisture to the area, potentially moderating fire
behavior.
