Today, crews are pushing toward the fire’s center, creating cool and fuels-free ground 100 feet inside the perimeter. Firefighters are shredding vegetation on the forest floor to help stem the blaze.

Fire managers say the Boulder Fire is now 10 percent contained and a revised estimate of the blaze shows it at 238 acres. The incident team is loaded with personnel and equipment to battle the blaze burning in downed timber in steep terrain. At the same time, firefighters are continuing to seek out hotspots and flare-ups on the Deschutes River and Devils Butte fires which charred thousands of acres.
