Significant Events

Active:

Wind Drive Runs

Group Torching

Short-range Spotting

Narrative:

The winds continued to shift through the night, eventually becoming northeast, and slightly stronger than the daytime winds. Humidity recovery was poor through the mid to higher elevations allowing the fire to continue to burn actively throughout the night. Isolated torching and short runs were observed with some spotting ahead of the fire. Other portions of the fire continued to have active ground fire.

Outlook

Planned Actions

Construct direct and indirect line to secure fire perimeter. Direct line construction in the Westwood area will require a heavy resource presence.

Provide for service calls within communities impacted by the fire: Chester, Hwy 36 corridor, Hwy 89 Corridor, Hwy 395 corridor, Paxton, Greenville, Jonesville, Crescent Mills, Taylorsville, Prattville, Canyondam, Butte Meadows, Bucks Lake, Meadows Valley, Rush Creek, Warner Valley, Pecks Valley, Williams Valley, Hunt Canyon, Susanville, Janesville, and the Greater Almanor area.

Structure defense and heavy mop up continues in Warner Valley, Cradle Valley, and Wilcox Valley. Protect threatened areas of Janesville, Indicator Peak and Loan Peak. Heavy mop and patrol of communities impacted by the fire front. "Make Safe" for repopulation. Resources will be working from Dyer Mountain east to Mountain Meadow Reservoir utilizing direct line to complete action in that area.

Continued mop up of and patrol of 1,000-hr fuels will require a significant amount of resources due to the volume of fuels and the steep and rugged terrain.

Priority areas include Genesee Valley, Taylorsville, and the Janesville/Milford area, as well as continued holding of the Hwy 36 corridor and the Mill creek drainage. Fire is well established in the Mill Creek Plateau. Continue patrol of constructed line and prevent the fire entering Mill Creek drainage.

Resources in the Genesee Valley area continue protect the community of Taylorsville and limit spread from spot fires and active flanks. Resources continue to hold the Hwy 36 corridor and monitor for spots across the highway.

Continued holding actions and point protection of communities and critical infrastructure will require a significant resource presence for the next several operational periods.

Tactics that utilize fewer resources are being implemented in the Lassen Sector. Firing plans are being developed for West Zone

- Div K.

Current Weather

Weather Concerns

Terrain driven winds dominated overnight, while thermal belts developed keeping mid-slopes from recovering

above 30%. Light winds should delay inversion breakup. Afternoon ridgetop winds predicted to gust up to 18 mph out of the southwest. Dry and warm conditions expected Sunday with southwest winds returning to the area as another trough

pattern emerges. The dry air mass will lead to poor overnight slope recoveries and single digit daytime humidity. Strong southwest winds expected Monday resulting in elevated fire weather conditions. A

southwest wind pattern will continue into midweek but temperatures will cool a bit and humidity will rise

through midweek. The area will remain dry with little to no clouds.
