As of the latest updates, the fire is reported to be 49% contained, with efforts ongoing to manage its spread. The reduced acreage figure is attributed to more accurate mapping of the fire's perimeter.

Currently, the fire exhibits minimal activity characterized by backing and creeping fire behavior. The estimated containment date for the fire is projected to be March 7, 2025. Planned actions include continued monitoring for any increase in fire activity, especially as weather conditions may impact the situation.

The snow level is expected to rise from 4,500 feet to 7,500 feet throughout the day. This precipitation may aid firefighting efforts, as minimal spread is anticipated in the next 12 to 48 hours due to the incoming weather.
