EAGLE The Monday evening update on the Sylvan Fire south of Eagle: More rain, more containment and no smoke.
The only activity on the wildfire as it enters its third week is smoldering activity, said Kelsha Anderson, a public information officer with the White River National Forest.
That is, unless you count the large rainbow that hung over the fire area as rain fell Monday afternoon.
“They haven’t seen any smoke today,” Anderson said around 7 p.m. Monday. “They’ve mostly been focused on the line, and it looks like we’ll be releasing the Hotshot crew tomorrow and a few other resources that’ll be leaving over the next few days.”
The Sylvan Fire remains at 65% containment as of Sunday, smoldering in an area of 3,792 acres – just under 6 square miles – located near Sylvan Lake State Park south of the town of Eagle.
At the height of the massive effort to stop the fire, 425 personnel were in Eagle with a Type I management team which had access to a large pool of resources. As of Sunday, the cost on the blaze has totaled $6,365,000.
On Saturday, a Type III team had assumed management of the Sylvan Fire. On Sunday, 132 personnel remained. Those crews still have access to two light helicopters, said David Boyd with the U.S. Forest Service, and on Sunday, one of those helicopters took a few flights over a portion of the smoldering southeastern flank of the fire.
