Firefighters monitored and patrolled the active areas of the fire overnight. Burning continued in the Valley Forge and Falls Canyon areas north of Mt. Wilson within fire containment lines. No perimeter growth was reported overnight. For the past few days, the interior island north of Mt. Wilson has produced a large amount of smoke and it will continue to consume internal acres within the control fire lines. The smoke from this area may be more visible during the peak heat areas of the day. The containment line is not threatened with this internal burning and fire crews are in this area to monitor for possible spotting. Due to the fire containment achieved in the last week, incident commanders of the Bobcat Fire will be transitioning from California Interagency Incident Management Team 11 to the Angeles National Forest. Resources have begun to be released from the incident to allow them to shift firefighting efforts to other critical needs throughout the state. This is the final update.
