The Bug Fire remains active, with wind-driven runs, flanking and short-range spotting. Fire activity continued into the evening, including significant 3–6 mile runs. Ground and aviation resources are being used to slow fire spread and support suppression efforts. Firefighters will prioritize community and firefighter safety while aggressively engaging the fire where conditions allow. A complex incident management team has been ordered. Weather and Fire Behavior: Fire behavior remains active, with wind-driven runs, flanking and short-range spotting. Crowning is occurring in pinyon-juniper fuels, with sustained runs through grass and brush. Near-critical fire weather, critically dry fuels and strong afternoon winds are contributing to rapid fire spread and high resistance to control. Hot, dry and unstable conditions remain in place, with poor nighttime humidity recovery. W/SW winds and low daytime relative humidity are expected to support critical fire weather conditions each afternoon. West winds of 10–22 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph, are forecast during the afternoon.

Today, we honor the heroes, first responders, and countless lives forever changed on September 11, 2001. We remember the bravery, sacrifice, and selflessness of firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and ordinary citizens who ran toward danger to save others.
