#SandyFire morning operational update with Chief Trevor Johnson: The Sandy Fire is currently 2,114.5 acres with 30% containment. There are 1,121 firefighters assigned to the incident. Firefighters are expecting improved weather conditions today, including lower temperatures and higher humidity, which should assist suppression efforts.

Firefighters continue hiking through rugged terrain to build control lines and mop up hotspots, while aviation resources assist with water drops to cool active areas. Crews are also continuing mop-up operations in neighborhoods behind homes to ensure complete extinguishment. Damage inspection teams remain in the field documenting any impacts caused by the fire.
