Barnes Daily Fire Update September 13, 2022
Acres: 5,840 acres | Containment: 44% | Total personnel: 633
Start Date: September 7, 2022, | Cause: Lightning| Location: 2 miles east of Willow Ranch, CA and 2 miles west of Fort Bidwell, CA Fuels: Timber, Brush, Litter, & Understory
Highlights: Yesterday, there was some rainfall over the perimeter of the fire but it was isolated in nature. On the northern flank, crews continued to secure the line with many sections getting mopped up well into the perimeter, and the fire continues to hold in the existing footprint. On the eastern edge, hand crews continued to complete and improve containment lines around the spots as well as lines to tie them back into the dozer line that is heading north/northeast from Fandango. On the Southern perimeter, progress continues to be made in the three large pockets of heat along the line with up to 50’ of mop-up in some sections.
Operations: Today, firefighters will continue to put in work to increase the containment around the perimeter. Along the fires eastern perimeter, four hotshot crews and several dozers are putting in direct line to the north and from north to the south connecting the pockets of heat. On the northern perimeter they will be mopping up and eliminating threats to the line. Along the southern portion, the contingency line prep will continue as they brush the roads and continue to close the gaps of open line bringing the line from Fandango Pass to the 53Rd. On the western perimeter additional containment was able to be obtained. There continues to be a night shift presence.
