Incident Update Post Fire

Situation Summary

Firefighters have made significant progress building and reinforcing containment lines around the perimeter of the Post Fire outside of Gorman. Crews continued conducting suppression repair throughout the fire footprint. An Excessive Heat Warning was in effect today, with temperatures reaching nearly 100 degrees. Partly cloudy skies developed with some isolated light showers.

Approximately 645 personnel continue working on the incident. Water tenders, helicopters and fire engines continue to manage hot spots within the fire, while patrols are focused on heat and smoke around the perimeter. As containment percentages have increased, crews have shifted their focus to suppression repair to return the watersheds and recreation areas to pre-fire conditions.
