The Bullfrog Fire is burning in timber, understory litter, brush and short grass. Active fire behavior has been observed with running, short crown runs and spotting.

Firefighters are using a confine and contain strategy taking advantage of  trails, natural features, and hand crews to fully suppress it.

Currently projecting low-to-medium fire activity.
