Update: 7:30 A.M.: #BlueFire at 400 Acres with 10% Containment

June 30, 2021 - The Sierra National Forest Blue Fire is burning in a NW direction toward the 2020 Creek Fire Burn area, and toward the ridge line at Soaproot Saddle where there has been extensive hazard fuel reduction treatments creating a fuel break.

A Moderate rate of spread at this time, burning single tree and group torching along with dead and down debris.

Initial projections were optimistic as the leading edge was heading towards a 2020 Creek Fire scar. Shifting winds this evening changed that and contributed to going to a Type 3 incident.

There are over 100 personnel currently assigned, and orders are in to double that. This is a full suppression response by USFS and CAL FIRE (FKU)
