We'd like to extend our sincerest THANK YOU to all the wonderful men and women on the Moonshine Fire!! As of the this morning, the fire was at 7,170 acres and 46% contained, with 333 personnel. We are thankful for the rain we got last night, and the crews are still using extreme caution on the fire line. We are so thankful for our LPFZ volunteers and ALL folks on this fire who continue to make efforts through the rough country they've been facing! We are also thankful for all the support from the outside of the fire too, between meals, donations, communication, and all the things that might go unseen.

This afternoon, members of LPFZ responded to Murphy Canyon Fire alongside local and federal resources. Firefighters, hand crews, and air support have been working hard to slow the fire's progress. Tiny Walker shared "Helicopters and ground crews doing very good on Murphy canyon fire. Some of LPFZ has gone home. Some are still there. Two hand crews have gotten there doing as good as can. The next couple of days will be a challenge. We have another bigger fire. Over west of black mountain. In Morrison Park folks and air are working on that one also. And another one North of Douglas. Busy day for firefighters. Thank and bless them all.".

🥰Thank you to all the firefighters, dispatchers, aviation, and all other support working these incidents! The next couple days may end up being challenging, but we are thankful for the dedication of all involved.

Please keep them all in your thoughts! We'll try to keep you updated.
