Current Situation:

The fire is currently burning with moderate to low intensity in timber and ground fuels. Fire resources are making every effort to minimize impacts to residences, critical infrastructure, and areas of cultural significance. Firefighters are currently adding depth to containment lines and assessing hazards as well as mopping up around structures. Tonight there will be a south/west wind that will push the fire in a north/east direction. Temperatures will continue to decrease to the low 70s by Tuesday. CAL FIRE Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) will continue to assess the affected areas. Residents within evacuation warnings should be prepared to leave if fire activity increases.
