After three weeks of hard work, the Bobcat Fire is winding down. There are just a few areas left with interior fire activity: along the open line on the northeast side of Fenner Canyon, along the center of the west flank where this fire meets the old Station Fire burn scar and in the island of unburned vegetation northwest of Mt. Wilson. The main work left is mopping up, back-hauling equipment and trash and patrolling along the containment lines.
