The Bear Fire remained relatively inactive overnight. All road closures and
evacuations have been lifted, including on the Hardscrabble and Spring Canyon Roads.
Tonight will be the last night that the fire is staffed with a night shift.

The weather continues to be hot and dry. Cloud cover in the fire area might result
in temperatures a few degrees lower than the past few days, but they are still
considerably higher than normal. Winds will remain relatively light.

Conditions will change over the next few days, bringing in the chance for dry
lightning and outflow winds.

Priorities today include continuing to button up line along Hardscrabble Road and in
between Sowbelly and Robinson Gulches to make sure that any remaining heat stays
checked high on the ridgelines.

Crews will also mop up along the western side of the fire, checking carefully to
make sure that there is no heat that could threaten the few perimeter.
