CURRENT CONDITIONS: The Windy Fire was mostly quiet Saturday despite very low humidity and several days of above-average temperatures. Because fire activity was low to moderate most of the day, crews had an opportunity to continue repairing and reinforcing containment line.  

The only sections of fireline that remain uncontained are a four-mile stretch between Devils Den and Cold Springs on the west side, a two-mile section between Tobias Creek and Ant Canyon on the southeast side, and a one-mile gap near Coy Creek at the northern edge. 

A dry and breezy cold front will move quickly over the fire area today. Stronger winds will last through Monday, and temperatures will steadily drop to seasonal norms. 

SEQUOIA NATIONAL FOREST CLOSURES REMAIN: The Windy Fire Area, Trails, and Roads Closure established by the Sequoia National Forest, Giant Sequoia National Monument, and Western Divide Ranger District remains in effect. Only authorized Forest and fire personnel are allowed inside the closed areas. Roadblocks remain at Western Divide Highway (M107) near Ponderosa, M99 at Lloyd Meadow Road, and Parker Pass (M50) at Parker Meadow above California Hot Springs.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Over the weekend and early next week, Windy Fire incident managers are shifting firefighters from more secure portions of the containment line to sections that require reinforcement and repair. They also are assessing what other work must be done to leave the fire in a condition that local resources can manage.

Many firefighters are going home to rest, while others are being reassigned to other fires. Those remaining on the Windy Fire will continue to patrol the fireline, removing fire-weakened and fallen trees and extinguishing pockets of fire. Residents traveling the same roads should watch for fire personnel and equipment.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Temperatures will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal today, and humidity could drop into the single digits in the afternoon.

At Thursday’s day-shift briefing, an elder from the Tule River Tribe blessed the fire personnel who have worked to suppress and contain the Windy Fire since its discovery on September 9. Before beginning his song, Joey Garfield thanked firefighters and support teams for protecting “the trees and the people who were here before them.” The fire began with a lightning strike on the Tule River Reservation, only a few months after the Nettle Fire began on tribal lands.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Wednesday was the final night shift on the Windy Fire. Meanwhile, day crews continue removing fire-weakened or fallen trees and other fuels along firelines and suppressing pockets of heat near the line. Open sections of the Windy Fire containment line continue to be monitored by firefighters on the ground and infrared flights. These sections are in steep, remote terrain, where firefighters can’t safely get close to the fire’s edge to dig containment lines. This ground-and-air strategy allows firefighters to respond quickly if the fire threatens to spread.

While crews are making significant progress repairing fire suppression impacts, the Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team continues to evaluate the burned area. The BAER team has reached out to local, state, and federal organizations to coordinate and share information about the fire. At the end of their assessment, they will propose emergency response actions to protect people, land, and critical natural and cultural heritage resources.

Drivers using open access roads near the fire boundary should be mindful of fire personnel and equipment.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Firefighters are removing hazard trees and suppressing fire near containment lines and in sequoia groves. Hazards in the fire area include fire-weakened trees, smoldering stump holes, and rocks or debris that could fall from steep slopes onto trails and into roadways. These hazards present dangers to the public long after a fire is considered controlled. Drivers should be aware of fire personnel and equipment on the ground and on access roads.

Firefighters are also using frequent infrared flights to monitor open sections of the Windy Fire containment line. These areas are in steep, remote terrain, where it’s unsafe for firefighters to use direct suppression tactics. This strategy allows crews to respond quickly if the fire begins to spread, and it could continue until significant precipitation falls over the forest.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Fire crews spent Monday patrolling and monitoring the Windy Fire containment lines to ensure they would hold against strong winds forecast for late morning to early evening. Predicted gusts exceeding 45 miles per hour did not occur near the fire area. Wind-driven dust created significant haze across the fire and in mountain foothills; this contributed to lower wind speeds on the ground in the fire area. Heavier fuels remaining in timbered stands and smoldering vegetation left from past fires continued burning at low intensity.

On the northern flank, firefighters will continue removing hazard trees and extinguishing isolated areas of heat. Similar work will be done on the southern flank in preparation for lifting evacuation orders in the Sugarloaf communities. On the eastern perimeter, firefighters aim to prevent fire growth into the Kern River Valley. On the western side, resource advisors will accompany crews that are cleaning up and reinforcing perimeter lines. In the sequoia groves, firefighters will continue efforts to prevent further fire damage.

WEATHER CONDITIONS: Dry and cool conditions prevailed overnight Monday. Dry and warming temperatures are expected to lower humidities for the remainder of the week as the area transitions from today’s northwest wind.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: A powerful storm system moved into the Kern RiverValley overnight, bringing strong winds and cooler temperatures. A high wind warning takes effect today, with widespread gusts of 30 to 50 miles per hour on mountain peaks and gusts as high as 60 miles per hour along and east of the Divide.

To prepare for this event, firefighters spent the weekend monitoring open sections of the fireline, looking for signs of heat or fire that could threaten containment lines. They also patrolled completed portions of fireline and strengthened them where necessary to prevent a wind-driven breach. This mop-up work included chipping fallen trees, removing the chips, and felling dead or dying trees that pose a safety concern.

The Sequoia Group, a division of Great Basin Incident Management Team 6, spent the weekend assessing specific groves in the Sequoia National Forest to identify trees threatened by fire and doing necessary work to reduce additional tree mortality.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Fire activity was moderate Saturday thanks to a wetting rain on Friday that reduced the Windy Fire’s growth and spread.

In the Sequoia National Forest, firefighters are reinforcing containment lines, while also felling burned hazardous trees that are dead or dying along access routes. Regular infrared flights are helping Great Basin Incident Management Team 6 detect hot spots in areas where the terrain is rugged and more difficult to safely access.

This ongoing mop-up work also improves routes for public safety for residents and the public when allowed to return to the area and adjacent evacuated communities. Drivers who travel on reopened roads should exercise caution, fire crews use those same roads to do their work.

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR: Drier conditions forecast for today are expected to change Monday when an anticipated storm brings winds that could gust as high as 50 miles per hour. Meteorologists and fire behavior analysts warn that fire dynamics are likely to change at higher elevations and along the Western Divide.
