Current Situation
Situation Summary
Complex California Interagency Incident Management Team 13 has taken command of the fire as of 7:00 a.m., October 12, 2024.
With new fire growth in the Beartrap creek, crews and aircraft will prioritize suppression efforts for the remainder of the day implementing full suppression tactics. Ground crews continue to do hose lays, structure protection and dozer operations to further establish control lines. Tactical firing operations have been initiated to help protect structures and have been reported successful by fire personnel. As suppression tactics continue the safety of firefighters, and the public will remain our highest priority.
Fire is predominantly moving northward, fueled by timber in steep and rugged terrain. A warming and drying trend will begin today extending until Monday as humidity levels gradually begin to decrease in the area. We expect a slow increase in fire behavior carried by upslope and up canyon winds.
Additionally, the Shoe fire was named after Shoeinhorse Mountain which is in close proximity to this incident.
