Fire Behaviour Analyst Ben Boghean provides an update on the conditions observed on the Mount Underwood (V71498) wildfire today, Wednesday August 13. Hot, dry conditions and shifting winds have increased fire activity. Cooler temperatures and some rain are forecast to begin Friday, which we anticipate will aid suppression, though significant rainfall will be required to have a meaningful long-term impact.
