[FINAL] #CreelmanFire This will be transitioning to a mop-up and containment operation pretty soon. Looking like just over 300 acres or so. Handcrews will be working on this one for a bit. Since the incident will exceed the current operational period, this is knows as an Extended Attack Incident.

#CreelmanFire IC keeping the No-Divert on incident aircraft. Still some active fire and sounds like they are trying to button-up that right flank. A "No-Divert" is declared when their is an imminent threat to public and/or firefighter safety. They are being pretty conservative with this one.

#CreelmanFire Things looking pretty good. Fire not spreading much anymore. Air Tankers have been working the R-flank hard. Cutoff time for fixed-wing is coming. Two night-flying helos have been requested. Relief Air Attack has just been requested.
