Dear Colleagues,

I just received the morning update from Steve Criswell.  Since he will be 
delayed from sending out a message, I am providing a brief summary.  The fire 
remains behind the Jack Mountain/Josephine Canyon line, and the opinion that it 
may be possible to stop the fire at that point is becoming more widespread.

There was no significant rainfall on Mt. Hopkins last night, but the forecast is 
now for weak monsoon activity for the next few days rather than for dryer air.

The fire fighters intend to set a back fire near Madera Canyon today.  A large 
contingent of fire fighters remain on Mt. Hopkins to protect the observatories.
