Crews are measuring the fire as percent “complete” rather than “contained” because the difficult terrain doesn’t allow firefighters to be on the fire’s edge.
This measurement factors in suppression efforts, confinement strategies and structure protection.
The Nevada Team 1 assumed command of the Beulah Fire Sunday, reducing fire personnel from 600 down to 300 Monday.
Firefighters will continue to clear heavy fuels and create backup firelines to the blaze.
