You may see smoke coming from within the #LineFire containment lines. This is unburned vegetation as the fire pushes out of Bear Creek, as it has been doing the last few days. There are aircraft working on this unburned area of vegetation and it is not threatening any structures… pic.twitter.com/40UfEjuPUE

When we say “steep and inaccessible terrain,” we aren’t joking. This is the unburned fuel you’ve been watching put off all that smoke on the #LineFire today.
