OSFM Red IMT

Fire information
Due to cooler weather and significantly higher RH, evacuation levels were reduced in the Paisley and Summer Lake areas; evac levels may be reduced further over the next couple of days, weather permitting. The NW and NE flanks continue to be resistant to control, with spotting and slopovers. Some logistical shortages are stalling plans to move some crews to an operational base closer to the fire edge. ODF IMT 1 is heading home today (yay!).
