Overview
- The wildfire burning southwest of Leamington has reached an estimated 1,000 acres with 0% containment.
- Officials closed Leamington Pass and Fool Creek Roads to keep traffic away from active firefighting.
- Ten structures in the Fool Creek area were briefly at risk, but officials now report no current threats and no evacuations.
- Gusty winds and steep, rocky slopes have slowed crews working in grass and sagebrush that carry fire quickly.
- More firefighters and aircraft are joining the response as cooler, more humid conditions are expected to support a direct attack on the perimeter.
