Neffs Fire Update: Oct. 4, 2020
Fire behavior is minimal, smoldering and creeping along the ground within the interior of the fire perimeter.
Firefighters will patrol the fire perimeter and extinguish any hot spots where it is safely accessible to do so.
Suppression repair work is complete behind and around homes in Olympus Cove.
Resources are being released as we downsize to give firefighters time to rest and be made available for response
to other incidents.
This Type 3 Incident Management Team will transition down to a Type 4 organization on Tuesday October 6th
at 07:00AM.
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
