July 30 at 9:00 p.m. update:
The Eagle Gold site was evacuated last night on recommendation from the Wildland Fire Management incident commander. A small team of essential mine workers remain on site while Wildland Fire continues to try and slow the fire’s spread towards values, including the mine.
Fire management specialists continue to use hand ignition to remove fuels from a fire guard with air-tanker and rotor-wing support. Structure protection at the Eagle Gold mine continues to be installed as plans to build a mechanical guard with heavy equipment take shape. Forest fuels are also being removed from around the mine site.
