Crews are working their way to the spot fire. Should have an update in about 10 minutes. Reporting a rather small spot fire at this point. Reviewing options for air support if needed, no decisions made yet on this support. Terrain is difficult.

Crews also requesting air support. About 6 foot flames with one small tree that crowned. Still reviewing air support due to terrain. My next door neighbor was in the area and called with a visual and reported the same.

We saw it too. Flame visible from 285 and lots of smoke. Xenon has the scanner and is on his way there to take pictures.

Units now reporting 100 percent containment line around fire per Elk Creek Fire. Winds are calm and fire has diminished. They are cancelling air support at this time.

Per Elk Creek Fire, crews are holding containment line for tonight with no additional support this evening. Weather is favorable for moisture on this event tonight. Additional size up and decisions will be made in the morning for continued activity.
