Clean up continues on the Rough Patch Complex and on the Jack Fire.

An update from the Rocky Mountain Incident Management Blue Team said firefighters are working closely with Resource Advisors to develop and prioritize suppression repair activities. The objective is to return the landscape to its natural appearance while preventing, minimizing and remediating impacts caused by suppression activities.

Removal of logs and slash from the fire area will be ongoing as firefighters strive to protect the integrity of roadways and the effects of future sedimentation into the waterways.

As vegetation begins to dry, smoke may become visible again from the fire area. Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire behavior and suppression tactics will be taken if needed.

The Rough Patch Complex is still 71 percent contained while the Jack Fire remains 83 percent contained.
