Firefighters say the weather has helped them in the battle against the Schneider Springs Fire. However the fire is still at 17%.

FIREFIGHTERS SAY THE WEATHER RESULTED IN MINIMAL FIRE ACTIVITY

Officials with the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest say the fire grew from 99,398 acres Friday to 101,633 Sunday. Firefighters are hoping for full containment by October 1 but the fight continues until that date.
A press release says on Saturday firefighters continued to "work to secure line and slow fire spread around Edgar Rock. Firing operations along the trail to Burnt Mountain were completed. Mop-up and repair work continued throughout the southern half of the fire."

MORE HELP FROM MOTHER NATURE ON SUNDAY

Sunday firefighters say they expect some wind in the area of the fire but cooler temperatures and higher relative humidity is expected to result in minimal fire behavior. "Firefighting priorities are to establish an effective fire line north of Lost Creek (using the 1709 and 1706 road system), hoselays and fuel reduction work around structures in preparation for fire threat in the Cliffdell and Lost Creek communities, and establishing a fuel break to the west of the Goose Prairie area. "
