As of the latest report, the fire is 49% contained. The reduction in the estimated size of the fire is attributed to more precise mapping of its perimeter.

Firefighting efforts are ongoing, with 83 personnel actively engaged in managing the situation. The incident commander, Charles Ebert, is overseeing operations, which are currently focused on monitoring fire behavior and minimizing spread.
