| Fuels Involved | Timber (Grass and Understory) Fuels are primarily mixed conifer and hardwood timber stands interspersed with brush patches. Primary surface fuels include timber litter, and timber with an understory of small conifer patches, and brush. Heavy fuel concentrations and abundant snags are found throughout the fire area. Low canopy base heights are common with ladder fuels connecting surface to crown. The fire is currently smoldering in large down trees and stump holes. |

| Planned Actions |
Continue mop up and keep the fire within the current containment lines. Continue roadside danger tree abatement |
|---|---|
| Projected Incident Activity |
A warming and drying weather pattern will continue to support the potential of very active fire behavior of any ignitions outside of fire perimeter. Isolated pockets of activity will continue interior, with limited opportunities for backing on steep slopes along the Klamath River. Rolling material and falling snags on steep slopes may cause flare ups within the fire perimeter. |
| Weather Concerns | Breezy winds from the north Saturday afternoon and evening will become light and variable Saturday night with excellent overnight RH recovery. High pressure aloft will gradually build over the region early next week, increasing temperatures and lowering humidity. |
