This map is looking pretty good!

Jim says:
"The only new fires are near the top of, and NW of, Miller Mountain.

InciWeb is on vacation this afternoon, so I can’t compare the satellite data to the plan."
Indeed, InciWeb has done it's 'vaporware' act yet again, disguising itself as a "Page not Found". When is a communications tool not a communications tool? When it's being INCIWEB!!!

HOLD THE PHONE!!!!!!

I just accessed InciWeb and we are at 100% containment!!!!!

Congratulations to Chief Jeanne Pincha-Tulley and her team!

From the Summary:
"The Basin Complex Fire, which started on June 21, was declared 100% contained at 6:00pm today, July 27. The fire has burned 162,818 acres to date; however, the final acreage will be somewhat higher due to the continued burning of islands of vegetation within the fire's interior.
Approximately 560 firefighters are still assigned to the Basin Complexthis evening, but heavy demobilization of resources is underway. Some crews will remain in the area to continue mop-up and to rehabilitate fire control lines and roads."
