Size: 23,216                 Containment: 82%                Cause: Lightning
Location: 3 northeast of Mogollon Baldy Lookout
Total Personnel: 71 personnel on the fire including two type 2 Initial Attack hand crews and two Fire Use crews, one type 1 helicopter and one type 3 helicopter

Yesterday afternoon, after several days of improving trails for use as fireline, all fire crews were removed from the fire area due to snags, wind, and lightning.

Cloud cover was present over the fire for a majority of the day with the fire receiving scattered precipitation.

In order to provide for firefighter safety while working in a remote area an Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance was ordered and has been located at the Willow Creek spike camp. Yesterday that ambulance was approached by a visitor who had a relative experiencing a medical emergency. Because of the location of the ambulance and the strict adherence to the medical plan this ambulance initiated the process of getting a county ground ambulance as well as a Gila Regional air ambulance in route to the incident. The assigned paramedics were able to stabilize the patient for transport via air ambulance to a definitive care facility.

Several crews have been demobilized from the Cub fire and will be utilized for initial attack of new fires on the forest following a significant lightning event that occurred over the area Saturday afternoon.
