Well, we are pretty solid on our Mildred site burning pretty much as I type this. It is located very close to the Syncrude/Suncor main stacks and ponds as you can see in the satellite image below. We had hoped to wander up in that direction tomorrow, but it is looking less and less likely that we will be able to visit any of our sites up there for quite a time. We will keep you updated.
To the right you can see the overall fire activity this morning. Today we plan to hit our Red Earth Creek and Utikuma sites which happen to be the furthest sites west and away from this area. There appears to be a small fire under control north of Red Earth Creek, however, it seems like those sites are all in the clear.
In other news, it is good to be here in Athabasca again, and the weather is projected to be a lovely 80 F and sunny today. It is a good day to do field work, but probably not a great day to fight fires. Keep your fingers and toes crossed.
