Well, it's expected to be fully contained Friday. There is going to be a mass demobilization of men and equipment today and Friday.

Final Numbers (according USFS)

14.039 Acres
2,256 Fire Personnel,
102 hand crews
114 engines
34 water tenders
17 helicopters
12 fixed-wing aircraft
6 dozers

Here's an overlay map of the burn area. The yellow trail loop is from Dean's Birthday ride of Area 51 and Gray's Peak Extra Credit.

thanks for the update, looks like it burned the best parts of the ride.

G- Thanx for the update. It's a shame...could've been alot worse. No injuries or fatalities.
BTW, there is a group coming up to your 'hood on 10/19-21. How'z about a little local trail action?

Pain Freak

Tip of the hat to these tuff guys again. Man, they do a great job!

Big props to the ground and air crews who kept this from becoming a colossal disaster. A good friend has a cabin at Green Valley, and we have talked often about the fire danger there. Once again, the bullet was dodged.
