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 25,832 acres with 81% containment. 1463 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. Federal IMT CIIMT14 will be transitioning with CIIMT11 today at 1900.
Fire activity was minimal overnight with the cooler temperatures and increased humidity. Control lines are holding well. Crews continued successful strategic firing operations and improved control lines using dozers and handlines to remove fuels. Unburned pockets of fuel within the control lines continue to burn off and create smoke.
Campbell Fire
Fire crews will continue to strengthen fire lines, patrol, and extinguish remaining pockets of heat inside control lines.
Ammon Fire
Fire crews will continue to strengthen fire lines in the northeast portion of the fire, as well as patrol and extinguish remaining pockets of heat within the control lines. Crews will continue to improve and reinforce fire lines along Titlow Hill Rd/Route 1 out to Highway 299.
Weather
Stable weather is expected over the area, with northwest winds up to about 10mph, gusting slightly higher along the ridgetops and where channeled by terrain. Temperatures are predicted today in the 70s and 80s, with smoke free areas possibly getting into the low 90’s.

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 beginning of deer hunting season this weekend is expected to increase traffic in the area.
