Incident Update Shoe Fire

Situation Summary

As of October 12, 2024, the Shoe Fire has burned 2,304 acres and remains at 0% containment. Last night, during the evening shift on October 11, fire behavior was moderated due to increased precipitation.

Complex California Interagency Incident Management Team 13 has taken command of the fire as of 7:00 a.m., October 12, 2024.

Firefighters are combating the fire, which is currently advancing northeast along the Sulanharas drainage. Due to the steep and rugged terrain, aerial resources are the primary focus, with water-dropping operations set to continue throughout the day. Ground crews are diligently working to establish containment lines to support full suppression efforts. Structure protection measures are in place, with firefighters prepared to respond swiftly if the fire threatens any residences.

Fire is predominantly moving northward, fueled by timber in the challenging landscape. While extreme wind patterns are not anticipated in the area, any moisture recovery from the previous operational period may diminish due to rising temperatures and low relative humidity expected throughout the day.
