| Boaters on the reopened Kenai River this morning |
Portions of the Kenai River reopened today with limited
access. The river is open to boating between Cooper Landing Boat Launch to
Sportsman’s Landing from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. The public is reminded that boaters
will be ticketed by law enforcement, if they pass Sportsman’s Landing.
Firefighters continue to make good progress with cooler temperatures
and the moisture received. Mop up continues on the southwest and southern
portions of the fire to assure containment lines will hold with the assistance
of the drone’s infrared capacities. Crews are still clearing blown down trees
along the Skilak Lake Road.
Fire crews hiked into the Resurrection Pass Trail today to build
direct fire line southeast of Trout Lake in the Shaft Creek area. Helicopters are
supporting crews with bucket drops as long as weather permits. Firefighters
will monitor the west side, and are putting hand line where needed. The
priority is still to reduce the potential for fire spread toward Cooper
Landing.
A 10-person Wildland Fire Use Module will be spiked at the
Doroshin Cabin for the next two days. They were able to complete hand line
yesterday. Hose lay and sprinkler materials were flown in the cabin this
morning. The module will be installing the water handling material today.
Fire crews continue to use chippers to reduce slash in the
area and Russian Gap contingency line. Dozer line is almost completed in the power
line corridor south of Cooper Landing. #Swanlakefire
