Fuel moistures are historically low, ERCs and BI are in the 97-99%. Northern California remains under a Fuels and Fire Behavior

Advisory.

Extreme

Wind Drive Runs

Group Torching

Short-range Spotting

Narrative:

The fire activity reduced slightly over night more terrain driven winds. The fire continued to burn actively in the

understory with single tree and group torching, and interior islands burning in the northern portion of the fire. The

rest of the fire continued to smolder and consume the heavier materials. Smoke settled more over the fire compared

to previous nights.

Planned Actions for Priority areas include: the Lassen & Shasta Sectors, Old Station and surrounding communities, the highway 395 escarpment area including Janesville, Milford and Herlong Junction as well as Lake Davis and the Grizzly Creek area east of the escarpment. Communities of Greenhorn, Cromberg and Davis Lake also at risk, see "East Zone:"

below.

Continue to establish direct and indirect containment lines south of Old Station, utilizing lines created during the Reading incident. Resources continue to establish containment lines to hold the Hwy 44 corridor and monitor

for spots across the highway, while protecting

critical fiber optic

infrastructure.

Complete contingency lines both north and south of Janesville and Milford respectively. Monitor weather for predicted

wind event in the

area. Provide

structure defense,

while ensuring firefighter

safety. 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, Butte Meadows, Bucks Lake, Meadows Valley, Rush Creek, Warner Valley, Pecks Valley, Williams Valley, Hunt Canyon, Susanville, Janesville,

and the Greater Almanor 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.

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

periods.

East Zone:

Efforts will continue focusing on extending dozer line down Grizzly Ridge and tie into the shore of Lake Davis to keep the fire away from Hwy 70 corridor. Crews will continue tactical firing operations down Grizzly Ridge as

required

to keep fire from

impacting the communities of Sloat and Lake Davis.

Structure

protection

remains in place within

Genesee and Taylorsville.

Resources will construct dozer line from Lake Davis to Clover Valley, and then further north, to keep fire from spreading

east towards Dixie Valley

structures. Develop a coordinated plan with the West Zone to keep fire from impacting Milford and Highway 395. Construct

direct and indirect containment lines where there are opportunities to reduce

spread to the east.

12 hours:

Southwest winds anticipated to continue downward trend in velocity, with a few afternoon wind gusts approaching 20 mph. Active fire behavior expected due to low relative Humidity and historically dry fuels.

24 hours:

Light, terrain driven winds are expected. Southwest winds predicted to return, ridges variable with a north to northeast wind. Conditions overall to remain very dry with critically low relative humidity values during the day and poor to moderate mid-slope recoveries.

48 hours:

A more typical southwest wind pattern expected into early next week. Temperatures predicted to fall several degrees beginning Thursday, with relative humidity remaining low. Dry conditions will continue into early next week with some clouds returning Monday. Active to Extreme fire behavior predicted to continue due to persistent wind and dry fuel conditions. A few clouds could return with slight chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms returning Tuesday, but the chance of a wetting rain remains low.

72 hours:

A more typical southwest wind pattern expected into early next week. Temperatures predicted to fall several degrees beginning Thursday, with relative humidity remaining low. Dry conditions will continue into early next week with some clouds returning Monday. Active to Extreme fire behavior predicted to continue due to persistent wind and dry fuel conditions. A few clouds could return with slight chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms returning Tuesday, but the chance of a wetting rain remains low.

Anticipated after 72 hours:

Warming and drying return, and the wind is expected to increase over the weekend. Some clouds may actually cross over the incident on Friday night and Saturday. Neither rain nor

thunderstorms are expected for the next week. Potential for active fire behavior due to

winds and very dry fuels.

Weather Concerns (synopsis of current and predicted weather; discuss related factors that may cause concern):

Winds expected to subside overnight across the fire area, except in the southeast near US-395. Extreme fire behavior predicted to continue due to

persistent wind and dry fuel conditions; near red flag conditions. Smoke to filtered into the valleys and RH recoveries should be poor to moderate. Temperatures forecasted into the lower 30s in some valleys but mid and upper slopes to remained

in the lower 50s.
