As of October 15, 2024, the Shoe Fire has burned 3,559 acres and remains at 7% containment. Last night, fire activity continued to increase in the South and East sides.
With a forecasted wind event approaching, our team has continued to bring in additional resources in preparation of expected fire growth due to the alignment of topography and weather. Strong winds and steep terrain alignment pose a risk for increased fire activity. Ground crews are working diligently to reinforce control lines along the fires edge utilizing a variety of heavy equipment, aircraft, hand crews, engines and hotshot crews. Additionally, Hirz Bay campground is currently closed to the public and is being used as a base camp for our crews.
Fire weather watch in effect from Thursday through Saturday evening for gusty north to east wind and low humidity. A Pacific storm moves through tonight into Wednesday bringing cooling with increased onshore flow and some precipitation. Gusty and drying northerly wind develops Thursday night into Saturday leading to critical weather conditions.
