INCIDENT INFORMATION

Unified Command: Six Rivers National Forest, CAL FIRE, California Highway Patrol, Trinity County Sheriff, and Humboldt County Sheriff.

CURRENT CONDITIONS

The Lightning Complex Fire is currently 26,000 acres with 33% containment. 2,111 personnel are assigned to the incident. USFS, CAIIMT 11 and CAL FIRE continue to work closely together in unified command with a full suppression strategy to protect homes and other structures, communities, crucial infrastructure, and important wildlife habitat.

Fire activity was minimal overnight with only one instance of fire spotting outside of the control lines, and that was quickly contained. Crews conducted several successful strategic firing operations and improved control lines using dozers and handlines to remove fuels. Control lines are holding well.

Campbell Fire
Crews will continue to strengthen fire lines and limit the spread of the main fire. Fire crews will patrol and extinguish remaining pockets of heat inside control lines on the west side of the fire.

Ammon Fire
Firefighters will continue strategic fire operations along the southwest perimeter in the Friday Ridge area. Crews will continue to improve and reinforce fire lines along the Six Road of Ammon Ridge and within the Friday Ridge System as well as along Titlow Hill Rd/Route 1 out to Highway 299.

Weather
Lightning and thunderstorms may occur today but are less likely than yesterday. This activity could produce erratic winds that may increase fire activity. These storms may form even above areas with thick low-level smoke.  Cooler overall temperatures are predicted today.

SMOKE
Strong inversion and forecast wind conditions will continue to keep smoke over the area. Please check https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/65384a03? for air quality resources.

ROAD CLOSURES

State Routes 299 and 96 are currently open in the Lightning Complex but may be impacted by fire behavior. Travelers are encouraged to visit http:quickmap.dot.ca.gov to check for state highway closures.

The following roads leading to evacuation zones have been closed (residents may use these roads to exit only):

  •             Forest Route 7N15 at Six Rivers Forest Boundary 
  •             Horse Linto Creek Road at Saddle Lane 
  •             Friday Ridge Road at Forest Route 6N06 (both roads are closed at this point) 
  •             Titlow Hill Road/Forest Route 1 after Horse Mountain Botanical Area 

 

Because fire personnel and machinery will be building control lines for the Ammon Fire, residents are asked to limit travel on Titlow Hill Road/Route 1 in zones HUM-E052 and HUM-E062 to essential traffic only.

EVACUATION CENTER

The American Red Cross Evacuation Center at Trinity Valley Elementary School is closed.  If further evacuations are ordered or evacuation orders changed, the facility will re-open to accommodate new evacuees.
