Outlook

Planned Actions

Structure protection

planning and mitigation efforts for

National Park

infrastructure. Continue to monitor high-value infrastructure within the National Park to include the Park

Headquarters, Museum,

and employee housing.

Continued protection and mitigation measures for all sequoia groves within the fire area, including the Giant Forest Sequoia Grove. When attributes of fire behavior are favorable to the landscape, allow fire

spread to aid in fuels

reduction in and adjacent to the groves.

Utilize direct and indirect tactics including both hand crews and dozers to construct line in or adjacent to

Cal Fire protection areas and the western park boundary to provide for structure protection and minimize impacts to values at risk in

Three Rivers, Silver

City, Heartland and

surrounding communities.

Continue strategic

operation planning

for long-term containment strategy.

Projected Incident Activity

12 hours: RH levels remained low resulting in moderate fire behavior through the night.

24 hours: Skies partially clear on the west side of the fire late in the day allowing for active fire behavior with uphill runs, torching and short range spotting.

48 hours: Smoke settles back into the area resulting in moderate fire behavior consisting of backing,flanking and terrain driven surface fire.

72 hours: Smoky conditions will support moderate fire behavior with backing, flanking and terrain driven surface fire.

Anticipated after 72 hours: Smoky conditions will support moderate fire behavior with backing, flanking and terrain driven surface fire.

Current Weather

Weather Concerns

Another very smoky day over the KNP Complex. Despite the smoke,

temperatures warmed into the upper 60s to upper 80s and humidity

dropped into the teens. Winds remained light to moderate today. Another night of little to no RH recovery expected with mild and dry

conditions.
