Secretary Cindy Dunn said Tuesday that the Thompson Hollow Fire, which has consumed 2,248 acres, is 42% contained. The smaller Hammonds Rocks Fire, at just 470 acres, is 92% contained.

“Crews are working hard to secure the perimeter of the fires so they are staying within their current footprints,” Dunn said. “Although there is a lot of smoke from the interior of the fires visible for distances, we are making progress thanks to some hard work by our wildland firefighters, county and local responders, and volunteers.”
