Acreage increased since yesterday due to more accurate mapping, and burn out of an island of vegetation within the fire. Some resources have been released to be available for other fire suppression needs throughout the state. Today, crews will continue to improve the fire lines, mop up any hot spots within 200 feet of the line, and within 300 feet of structures. Two outbuildings and a trailer were burned in the fire. Hazard trees along the highway and the powerline are being cut down.
Plans are under way to begin rehabilitation of the fire lines.
Traffic along Highway 299 will continue to be escorted through the fire area between Skunk Point and Big Flat. Big Flat Campground is still closed, but all other recreation facilities are open along the river. Rafters and kayakers should be alert for helicopters dipping water out of the Trinity River near Big Flat, CA and for other fire suppression activities.
