Current Situation: Firefighters continue to make steady progress on the Summit Fire, actively constructing and reinforcing control lines to increase containment.

Dry conditions have resulted in low relative humidities with minimal overnight recovery. These conditions, combined with exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures, may reveal once-dormant heat sources across the incident.
Weather: A hot weather pattern remains over the incident today, bringing elevated risks for heat-related illnesses alongside onshore winds that are expected to generate southerly gusts of 25 to 35 mph. While a Red Flag Warning is currently in effect for areas northwest of the Summit Fire, no warning is active for the immediate incident footprint, and the threat of thunderstorms has significantly decreased compared to yesterday. Personnel and the public are urged to remain vigilant, stay hydrated, and practice heat safety.
