Firefighters on the ground and in the air made significant progress toward suppression on the Gumboot wildfire north of Riley yesterday. Despite steady winds, high temperatures and extremely dry conditions, limited resources proved determined in their efforts. At last estimate, the Gumboot fire was approximately 60 percent contained and 1,600 acres. Firefighters will continue securing the fire perimeter and suppressing hot spots throughout Tuesday. The Buzzard Complex gave firefighters several challenges throughout the burn period. The complex is made up of several active fires that span intermittently from the Lamb Ranch/Warm Springs Reservoir area south to the Beaver Table/Twin Reservoir area near Venator. Northwest winds pushed the fires steadily south and east toward several residences and outbuildings mid-afternoon. Late in the evening, the fire crossed Highway 78 to the south. Firefighters worked until 3 a.m. and successfully protected homes and structures, though one private horse trailer was lost. Today's objectives include reducing fire spread and securing containment lines.
