 Good evening,

My name is Hector Cerna and I'm acting as the Incident Commander trainee for this fire.  I would like to give you an update on the fire. Fire sits at 2.1 acres, 90 % containment. Roads and campgrounds are open but would like to minimize traffic to Lupine CG until we have full containment and for the safety of the firefighters.

Thanks for your time.
