The Elliot, Three Creeks and Canyon Fires were monitored with structure protection work ongoing as the fires back down toward Highway 96. An Infrared (IR) flight was requested for last night, though was unable to fly. New IR information has been unavailable for several days and fire footprints on maps are not as accurate…Firefighters on-the-ground are providing current information for operations and planning. Once IR information is available, fire perimeters will be updated…
