There is indirect control line in that area and firefighters are monitoring the situation. Once safe to do so, crews will assess this area and determine if direct line is necessary. Fire suppression repair personnel continue conduct rehab where possible. Search and Rescue Crews, US&R Teams, and engine companies continue with search efforts. | |
