Rain of one-tenth of an inch to one-quarter of an inch fell on the Rattlesnake Creek fire burning south of Riggins Sunday.
The rain and cooler temperatures limited fire activity, though fire crews were flown out of the west portion of the fire due to unsafe weather conditions. Crews continued direct and indirect suppression tactics on the southern and eastern portions of the fire where it was safe to do so with weather conditions.
Where it is safe to do so, firefighters will continue to work on repairing handlines and removing fire equipment within the northern area of the fire Monday. On the most southern part of the fire, crews will continue direct and indirect suppression efforts by building hand lines and using heavy equipment.
Warmer temperatures are predicted over the next couple of days and managers expect fire activity to increase.
Nearly 400 personnel are assigned to the nearly 8,200-acre fire which is now listed at 41 percent contained. (USFS)
