The in Weber Canyon is still 50% contained and remains 134 acres. While the fire isn't growing, there's still a great amount of heat in the larger fuels on the top of the mountain and along the edge on the north and east sides.

Overnight, the cooler temperatures provided some much needed relief. With the increased humidity, the night shift observed decreased visible flames. However, crews are still waking up to smoke on the mountain that heats up more throughout the day.

The terrain is proving difficult, as access to get to the heat is very steep and rocky. Crews are being deliberate with their paths to get to the fire, as safely as possible. Containment will be slow over the next few shifts as they hike in to work these hotspots.

While I-84 has both lanes open in each direction, please be cautious when traveling through the canyon. There is still fire equipment and firefighters parked and working directly along the highway. Please help keep them safe.

Morning update:
Crews got another early start today and will be working throughout the day to monitor and put out hotspots.
Containment remains at 50%

Some have asked what containment actually means:

"When a wildfire report provides containment counts (usually expressed as a percentage, like "45% contained"), it indicates how much of the fire's perimeter has been secured to prevent it from spreading further.It does not mean that 45% of the fire is extinguished or put out. Instead, it means that a combination of natural barriers (like rivers or roads) and man-made fire lines (clearings dug down to bare mineral soil) are successfully blocking the fire's path along that portion of the edge."

Crews focus today will be fortifying already established fire line, putting out hot spots with the goal of increasing the containment percentage.

South Weber community:

It’s no surprise in true South Weber fashion, we have had an absolute outpouring of support for the crews working on the many of you have asked if you can support or donate in some way.

We have an abundance of water and Gatorade already.
— Single serve snacks similar to granola bars, fruit and nut mixes, beef jerky, fruit bars snack crackers ,etc are always appreciated.

Our crews are mostly self sufficient while on the fire line, but items that can be easily stuffed in a pocket or backpack work well.
