CURRENT SITUATION: Unified Command has been established for the entire state of Florida. Good progress continues on most large fires despite adverse weather conditions. Mobilization was moderate yesterday. The National Coordination Center processed orders for aircraft, equipment, and miscellaneous overhead.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES: HICKORY ISLAND, Okefenokee NWR. This fire is burning near Folkston, GA. The fire continues to grow to the northeast. Inaccessible terrain and heavy fuels are contributing to control problems.
APALACHICOLA COMPLEX, National Forests in Florida. A Type I team (Melton) is assigned. This complex includes the Owl Creek (2624 acres) and Cow House (6765 acres) fires. Both fires continue to burn actively in the afternoon due to low humidities, moderate wind, and persisting drought conditions. Interior swamp areas are burning out, causing spotting and hampering control efforts.
SINGECAT, National Forests in North Carolina. This fire is approximately 30 miles east of Asheville. The fire jumped the line yesterday. Air support was used for structure protection. Line construction and improvement continues.
