Lee Fire: Conditions stable

Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team 3

Good Sunday morning from the Lee and Elk fires. Last night the fire remained calm, stayed within its footprint, and overall conditions are stable and encouraging. Today, crews will continue to mop up and secure firelines, with a goal of increasing containment in the southwest portion of the fire. We are expecting clear skies and plenty of sunshine. Your daily update will be coming soon.
