The Rough Patch Complex has grown by another 1,000 acres while the Jack Fire is seeing minimal growth.

An update from Great Basin Incident Management Team 2 said on the Chaos and Little Bend fires, the focus is to construct fire line to the north to ensure the fire does not move that direction, then again make another push to the west. On the Little Bend Fire, containment was added to the west mid-section of the fire which will assist in holding the fire in place. These two fires are at 7 percent containment.

On the Jack and Buckhead fires, the southwest and south flanks of the fire are seeing moderate fire behavior. Tactics on those flanks include direct dozer line, the construction of primary and alternate contingency lines using the road system and building and reinforcing contingency lines across the fire area. Burning out operations are being used as necessary to secure fire lines.

The Rough Patch Complex is now at 24,670 acres and is still 3 percent contained. The Jack Fire remains at 51 percent containment, burning in 23,802 acres.
