“On September 21, Roy Hall's Northern Rockies Type 2
Wildfire Management Team assumed command and a substantial demobe was
accomplished of overhead, hand crews and engines. The current fire team
continues to manage under the same incident objectives as previous teams. The
eastern edge and areas along the southeast and northeast flanks are contained,
reducing the fire threat to the Bitterroot Valley and its residents.
Firefighters continue to extinguish hot spots with 4 helicopters and the
helitack crew assigned to the incident. Rehab and repair work has started on
contained and contingency areas. The Stage 1 evacuation notice was cancelled
with the onset of cooler weather conditions on September 24.”
