Late Monday evening, command was transferred to the state Department of Natural Resources. The state crews expected to stay on scene throughout Tuesday evening, spokeswoman Janet Pearce said
Meanwhile, the state also continues to use helicopters to drop water on the Index fire, she said It remained at about an acre in size on Tuesday afternoon.
“It poses no threat to structures or people,” she said.
