to secure all fire lines and spot fires as well as mop-up within the fire
area.

*Smoke* may continue to popup occasionally within the fire perimeter.  Fire
personnel will continue mop-up and extinguishing all hotspots.

*Safety: *The health and safety of firefighters and the public are always
the first priority.

Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to
cease. The public is always reminded that *“If you fly, we can’t!” *

*This will be the final update on the 10K fire unless the fire situation
warrants additional correspondence.  *

All fire updates will be posted on the  Cibola NF & NGs website
