Fire lines on the Seminoe Fire held today despite 45 mph wind gusts. There was isolated tree torching within the fire perimeter and the fire was burning downhill on the east and south side of the fire. Firefighters worked to stengthen and improve all fire lines.
Fire containment lines are west Seminoe Canyon, east of Long Creek Canyon and north of Morgan Creek. Firefighting efforts focused on keeping the fire within those boundaries. At the Bureau of Reclamation government housing area, 12 structures and power lines in the area are being protected. Firefighters have protected the structures with preventative burnout operations and are prepared to further protect the area.
Evacuations have been lifted for Miracle Mile campground and the campground is open. But recreationists should be cautious and aware that evacuations could be put in place again at any time. County Road 351 is partially closed. The road is open until Seminoe State Park at the Red Hills entrance, then closed northward. The road is also closed just south of the Miracle Mile bridge, where the fire is still active.
Fire acreage was adjusted to 3,813 acres after more accurate data was received. More firefighters were released from working on the Seminoe fire and many were reassigned to a new fire that was reported today, the Ferris Mountain fire. The current number of personnel on the Seminoe Fire is now 139 people.The fire was first reported on Saturday afternoon and believed to have been started by lightning.
