KINGMAN, Ariz. –With zero growth and 80 percent containment, the White Fire which started on the afternoon of Oct. 10, 2020, has turned over to a local Type 4 Incident Management Team. Most resources have been released to assist with other fires in the nation.
Temperatures for today continue to be warm and dry. The extremely dry conditions are unusual for this time of year and are like summer month extremes. Fire managers will continue to monitor weather closely to aid in managing this fire.
Today, fire crews will continue to watch for hot spots and smoke coming off the fire. Very little activity was seen yesterday. Ground crews and helicopter bucket drop support will mop up any hot spots that are located.
Although the area is open for public travel, please exercise extreme caution in the area as increased traffic and sudden changes to traffic control may be possible from fire personnel working on the White Fire.
Acreage: 337 acres, 80% containment
