Outlook

Planned Actions

Utilize indirect tactics including both hand crews and dozers to continue line construction along Cal Fire protection areas and outside the western park boundary to provide for structure protection and minimize impacts to values at risk in Three Rivers, Silver City, Hartland and surrounding communities.

Structure protection 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.

Continue strategic firing as fire approaches primary lines with Fire Use modules, hand crews, and UAS.

Utilize strategic firing when needed to help meet the objectives identified for this fire.

Projected Incident Activity

12 hours: Even with a slight increase in humidity, fire continues to spread through the night with backing, flanking and short uphill runs.

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

48 hours: Clearing skies and less smoke will lead to active to extreme fire behavior with uphill runs, short crown runs, and spotting.

72 hours: Smoke continues to move out of the area leading to active and extreme fire behavior with uphill runs, crown fires and long range spotting.

Anticipated after 72 hours: Clear skies leads to active and extreme fire behavior with uphill runs and crown fires and long range spotting.

Weather Concerns

Dense smoke remained across the fire for most of the afternoon.
