MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. – Fire crews are winding down operations on the Slides and Skeleton fires on the Upper Lake District of the Mendocino National Forest, officials said Sunday.
The 200-acre Skeleton fire is four miles east of Lake Pillsbury and 100-percent contained while the 50-acre Slides fire, located four miles west of Lake Pillsbury, is 90-percent contained, according to forest spokeswoman Sandra Moore.
Moore said fire personnel assigned to the incidents will remain on scene mopping up and repairing fire lines.
On Monday there will be one crew and one engine working on each fire, she said.
Visitors traveling around the fire locations are reminded to watch for personnel and equipment on forest roads, Moore said.
Moore said Forest Order No. 08-17-27 that closed the Lower Nye Campground and a portion of the M3 Road from its junction with the M10 Road and then north 14 1/2 miles to the Lower Nye Campground will be lifted Monday.
