[/caption] The Rock House Fire continues to be fought above Fort Davis. Yesterday, crews finished structure protection at the Boy Scout Camp and kept the fire out of Little Aguja Canyon. Today, crews continue their work on the northwest portion of the fire. Firefighters are preparing the ridge above the Boy Scout Camp for a possible burn out tonight or tomorrow. They are also preparing contingency lines around the fire in the event it travels out of Little Aguja Canyon. Current objectives are to keep the Rock House Fire west of Texas Highway 17, south of Boy Scout Camp Road, south of Million Dollar Canyon, east of Little Aguja Canyon, and north of McDonald Observatory and Limpia Crossing.
