constructed a line surrounding the Hudlow Fire and installed a series of hoses
to deliver water to the fire line. Today, crews will strengthen the line and
use water to cool hotspots. The fire is burning in timber on steep terrain,
located on US Forest Service ownership. No structures are threatened.
