Morning Briefing Update | 10 June 2011

– The fire was active again on the northern front, but burning into a backfire along the roads. There were two distinct lines of heat on the imagery. One was the burnout, and the other was the actual fire front. Both had quite a bit of intense heat.

– On the west side around Greer, there was quite a bit of heat, but not further into the community. The rest of the west side had intense heat and advancement to the west.

– The south side of the fire is still creeping to the south with the southwestern side being the most active.

– One portion of the fire on the east has pushed to within about 1500 feet from the New Mexico state line burning down toward  the Blue River.

– There is a portion of the east side that is burning downhill back into Alpine with intense heat. The perimeter moved about .4 miles closer to Alpine since the previous IR.

– The northeast side of the fire has cooled off quite a bit.
