Happy Camp, CA – A warming and drying trend begins today and
tomorrow with partly cloudy skies and ridge top winds coming out of the
southwest.
Yesterday’s Activities: Fire behavior was
moderate with uncontained fire edge moving slowly within the South Fork
Indian Creek and Ten Mile Creek drainages. Crews monitored the fire
along the peaks, ridges and containment lines on the southwest flank.
Firefighters continued repairing the contingency fireline located west
of the fire near Crazy Peak and continued suppression repair on the east
side. Repair work on 115 miles of roads used for fire suppression
activities is now 75% complete.
Today’s Activities:
Three Wildland Fire Modules (crews of 7-10 firefighters specializing in
back-country fire suppression) are camped out near the western edge of
the fire to monitor fire behavior and assess tactics for future
suppression actions. Fire suppression repair and road work will continue
along the north and east flanks.
