Fire managers are implementing both direct suppression and indirect confinement strategies. Direct suppression occurs when firefighters engage the active fire perimeter to stop fire spread. Indirect confinement strategies use natural barriers, terrain features, and strategic firing operations, when necessary, to influence fire movement while minimizing risk to firefighters. A closure area has been identified for public safety.
