8.10.25, 6:59 p.m. – The weather, coupled with drought conditions, continues to create challenges for firefighters on the southern end of the Lee Fire. As the fire continues to move, fire managers are preparing a strategic plan of the expected movement. Scouting for contingency lines was part of today’s operations for the Divisions on the south end of the fire. Supported by air resources, including dropping retardant, firefighters continue to work to strengthen lines around Highway 13 and County Road 5. Please continue to monitor trusted sources for information.
