Today has not been too bad. Helicopters continue to fly over and we are only getting an occassional wiff of smoke. We have been unpacking and reorganizing our lives.

Friday Afternoon Update:
Updated List of Structures Burned:
A total of ten structures have now been confirmed lost by the fire. They are:
Five cabins on Casper Mountain
Two cabins in the Goose Egg area
Two outbuildings on Casper Mountain
One barn on Coates Road.
Most of the owners have been notified by Fire Cheif Mark Young, but some of the owners have not yet been contacted.
The latest figures remain 11,765 acres and 50% containment. The fire remains active, especially on its eastern fronts. 435 firefighters were fighting the fire yesterday, and an estimated 600 firefighters should be on the scene today.
General Fire Information:
Fire fighters were able to hold the fire to the fire lines yesterday, resulting in only a very minor expansion of the fire zone. The high humidity on the mountain has been helping immensely with the fire fighting effort. Only one injury (a twisted knee) has been reported thus far.
Additional personnel and equipment continues to arrive on site. 435 firefighters were on site as of yesterday, and that number is expected to rise to 600 by the end of today.
