Good morning. I'm pleased to announce that the Incident Commander of LWF 126, the Pony Creek fire, has downgraded the status from out of control to BEING HELD. This is a major accomplishment on a fire and our thanks and appreciation go out to all the firefighters, staff, air tanker pilots, helicopter pilots, logistics staff, operations and planning staff, radio operators and dispatchers, warehouse staff and everyone else involved. Fighting wildfire is complex. This team worked hard to contain this fire to the point that it can be classified as BEING HELD.
The photo below shows some firefighters hard at work extinguishing ground fire.
Your next update will be this evening.
