A full burn ban remained in effect for Haines, despite a little bit of rain. All open fires were prohibited, including burn barrels and waste piles. The increased fire danger, due to dry conditions, prompted the federal Division of Forestry to send additional equipment and personnel, including a special fire engine designed to fight brush fires and several helicopter-trained federal wildland firefighters.
