DELABARRE FIRE – Delabarre Creek Drainage

The Delabarre Fire started from lightning and had significantly increased fire behavior today due to low relative humidity levels and warm temps.

This is after having low fire activity in the last few days but instead decided to increase today.

According to Fire Officials, it has grown a lot.

It is now estimated to be at 400-500 acres but tomorrow an air recon flight will take place to attempt to gain a more accurate count of acreage burned to be added to the new operational map. There are no threats to structures, therefore, no evacuation orders are in place as of this post.
