Current Situation
Situation Summary
Firefighters are actively engaged in reinforcing containment lines, with an emphasis on advancing further into the interior to effectively extinguish any residual heat detected by infrared systems. Reports indicate that heat persists in the northern section of the fire, primarily along Beartrap and Bills Creeks.
A mobile retardant base remains operational in Big Bend, which will continue to be utilized by aircraft as they prioritize support for divisions involved in suppression efforts. As ground crews proceed with their mop-up operations, sawyer teams will also focus on the removal of hazardous trees to ensure that all factors contributing to the fire's heat are fully suppressed or mitigated. Minimal smoke impact to local communities is forecasted.
Planned prescribed burns by Cal Fire in the vicinity of Igo and Red Bluff may contribute additional smoke into the area.
