"Crescent Mountain and McLeod Fire crews continue to repair damage caused by firefighting operations, using excavators to mend and obscure dozer and hand-dug line.
The intent of suppression repair is to minimize soil erosion and restore damaged ecological functions.
All repairs occur under advisement of local Resource Advisors.
"Smoke and flame are occasionally spotted within the fire perimeterwhere heavy fuels retain heat that intensifies by mid- afternoon.
This causes the fire, lingering in dry grasses and forbs under the heavy fuels, to creep slowly.
It is not unusual for individual trees to occasionally torch.
Acreage figures for Crescent Mountain and McLeod Fires were updated today based on GPS mapping.
Firefighters continue to progress in achieving suppression and repair objectives related to values at risk such as private property, infrastructure, timber, and critical habitat.
"Campfire Closures: On Monday, September 17, 2018, the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest announced that forest users are once again able to have campfires in approved campfire rings within designated recreation sites and other special sites across the forest outside of the Crescent, McLeod and Holman fire closure areas.
