A red flag warning is currently in effect today until Saturday afternoon. Ground crews have been engaged in reinforcing existing containment lines through use of dozers and hand crews. Overall fire conditions have shown improvement; overnight infrared readings have shown less heat and minimal growth from the previous day. Additional resources continue to arrive to provide further support. Structural assessment teams are actively evaluating risks to residential properties along the Fenders Ferry corridor. A mobile retardant base has been established in Big Bend. These mobile retardant bases function as portable facilities that mix and store fire retardant, thereby enhancing aerial firefighting operations if needed.

WEATHER: Strong north to northeast winds will continue to bring gusty winds today through Saturday morning. Strong winds are expected this morning with wind gusts reaching up to 40mph. Downslope winds will have a stronger drying effect on surrounding fuels causing a faster drop in humidity levels.

EVACUATIONS:  Mandatory evacuations remain in place for zone LKH-1448-B. Residents who have not evacuated are encouraged to do so. Evacuation information and alerts can be found by visiting protect.genasys.com
