Here is the latest fire update (as of 7-8-08):

• In the north: The Peavine Fire was contained this weekend. It totaled 522 acres. The Westfall and Government fires are still outside the study area but just north of the Owl buffer zone. See site for more information on the Westville and Government fires.



• In the south: There have not been any fires in the core study area, but many (Oliver, Westfall, Silvernob, and Star fires) in the fisher study area. From Rick, “All fires in this area have been controlled/extinguished and are no longer a problem for continuing the research activities. We have taken photographs from the air of the Westfall, Silver Knob and Oliver Complex fire areas.” Photos of the southern site fires are posted on the photos page, under southern site.
