Firefighters continue to suppress local blazes - Updated 5 p.m.

A National Incident Management Organization (NIMO) team is enroute to assume management of the Shadow Lake Fire burning in the Mt. Washington Wilderness. The fire perimeter is estimated at 400 acres - 300 acres of actual burn area and 150 acres of unburned "islands" of timber on the interior of the fire.

Forward progress to the east has stopped as the fire ran into an area burned over in a 2006 fire. The fire is continuing to move to the west into the wilderness.

A new fire burning in the Trout Creek Butte area about five miles south of Highway 242 has been 90 percent lined and is about 70 percent contained.
