The Shoe Fire has not grown in the past 24 hours due to the hard work of firefighters and fire line leadership. Intense heat has been detected in various locations within the fire perimeter; however, response teams continue to prioritize these areas of concern. Overall, the crews have successfully established all containment lines and will now concentrate on mop-up operations. Mop-up refers to the procedure of extinguishing a fire after it has been contained, and it constitutes a crucial phase in preventing the fire from reigniting or spreading to unburned areas. This process may involve several additional measures, such as the removal of fire-damaged trees by skilled sawyer teams, the cooling of ash pits, and the reduction of heat in logs or stumps.

WEATHER: Winds are expected to strengthen this afternoon and evening, particularly in the southern regions. Today, the wind patterns will primarily be influenced by the terrain. The meteorological conditions are characterized by northerly to northeasterly breezes descending the canyon during the late morning, transitioning to southerly to southwesterly winds ascending the canyon in the afternoon. Temperatures are expected to rise into the mid-70s during the early evening, with minimum relative humidity levels ranging from 25% to 30%. The wind will be coming from the north to northeast. Canyon winds are expected to redevelop tonight as a drier air mass settles over the slopes and ridges.

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
