Yesterday, crews were able to access work areas, although intermittent heavy showers slowed repair work at times. Firefighters patrolled and monitored along the west and north sides of the fire, where repairs are complete. Firefighters continue to make progress working along Curl Ridge up to Curl Point. A dozer worked on improving drainage features along indirect control line on the eastern side of the fire perimeter, and repair work along Garden Ridge is nearing completion. An excavator continued to construct water bars to improve drainage along Wheeler Nursery Road. Fire crews hiked in to install water bars in areas too steep for equipment to operate. Firefighters completed mastication work along the East Fork of Sulanharas Creek. Along the southern fire perimeter, heavy equipment was challenged by the wet conditions the majority of the day which prevented access to worksites. A grader attempted to continue operations on Fenders Ferry Road but was also hampered by the extremely wet conditions. That grader will move to the west side of Fenders Ferry Road today to work on road repairs. Fire managers continue to meet with personnel from the local forest to plan the transition for incident management back to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, which is scheduled to take place on November 5. Incident-related equipment and infrastructure located in a remote fire camp at Hirz Bay Campground is being removed and crews and heavy equipment are being released from the incident as they complete their tasks.

WEATHER: Cool and unsettled weather will continue into Saturday as the upper-level low lingers over the region. Showers will decrease in intensity early this morning, but will pick up in intensity with moderate to heavy precipitation late in the day and into Saturday morning. By Saturday afternoon the low will push east of the area and high pressure will move into the region. The flow will turn northerly, for the beginning of a drying and warming trend with temperatures into the 50s.
