Skillet Fire 82% Contained, Transition Begins | Butte News

The Skillet Fire, now 82% contained after burning over 3,000 acres, is handing control to a local incident team starting Tuesday evening—keeping up full suppression efforts to protect everyone. Evacuation orders lifted for Good Creek, Alder Creek, and Greg Creek, but forest closures remain with security checkpoints in place. Firefighters continue mop-up operations using drones in hazardous zones, with smoke lingering as fuels burn inside containment lines. Warmer temps later this week could spark minor flare-ups—stay alert and cautious. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
