The Six Rivers Lightning Complex remains in unified command with California Interagency Incident Management Team 15, California Highway Patrol, Trinity County Sheriff, and Humboldt County Sheriff. The Six Rivers Lightning Complex is currently 41,178 acres with 64% containment and 1,521 personnel assigned to the incident. (Ammon – 11,465 ac.; Campbell – 29,713 ac.)
All growth on the Campbell Fire is due to a large interior island that continues to burn on the eastside, all within the containment lines.
Yesterday a smoke column was visible from Willow Creek. The smoke was caused by a large island burning several miles within the interior of the Campbell fire along the Cedar Creek Road. There are several smaller unburned pockets of vegetation that will likely burn during the coming hot and dry period.
A coastal marine influence brought excellent overnight humidity recoveries providing improved conditions for firefighters yesterday. Although a weak Pacific air mass will remain in place, a warming trend will begin over the fire area today. High temperatures are expected to be in the mid-800s. Smoke generated by the interior burning pockets will limit afternoon warming over portions of the fire.
Firefighters continue to secure control lines ahead of the predicted weather pattern shift, which is forecasted to bring near record high temperatures to the area along with very dry conditions on Tuesday. The focus remains on the northern perimeter of the Campbell fire near Cedar Creek, on the eastern flank along the Lone Pine Ridge and Groves Prairie roads, and along the mid-slope road systems off the Denny Road above the community of Trinity Village and Hawkins Bar.
With fire containment lines holding steady, smoke production decreased yesterday, and air quality conditions improved. The same air quality conditions can be expected today.
