Wet week tamps down fires, higher temps could increase fire danger

Crews corral Oil Springs Fire

The 12,613-acre Oil Springs Fire south of Rangely was to be handed back to local Bureau of Land Management officials to manage today after being nearly fully contained with the help of additional firefighters and continued cooperation from the weather. The fire was up to 97% containment by Friday, compared to just 18% on Monday. Dana Harris, a spokesperson for the Great Basin Team 3 incident management team, which had been managing the fire response before today, said on Friday that the rapid increase in containment resulted in good part from the fact that managers were able to bring in more ground crews. That meant more people were available to dig more fire lines and also walk the fire perimeter and verify how secure it was, particularly in remote areas not accessible by engines.
