2020-08-15-NWCalifornia-Outlook.20200815145011 (1)Current Situation: The Red Salmon Complex is 10,895 acres and 35% contained. The Red and Salmon fires are burning in the Trinity Alps Wilderness on the Six Rivers and Shasta-Trinity National Forests. Both fires are being managed for full suppression utilizing minimum impact suppression techniques in the wilderness and working with resource advisors to protect cultural values.
Red Fire: The fire is 10,088 acres and 19% contained. Cleanup operation continues on the northeast and north areas increasing the containment lines along the fires edge. All spot fires north and east of Indian Rock have been contained and will continue to be mopped up and monitored.
Today will see most of the fire activity on the north side in the Mill Creek, Red Cap Creek, and Black Mountain especially later in the afternoon. Fire operations will continue on the northwest line from Black mountain, along the west and southwest edge of the fire as conditions permit. Firefighters are prepping indirect lines from Salmon Mountain down to Devils Backbone and may begin firing operations.
The spot fire 1.5 miles east of the Red fire is about 130 acres and located near Prospect peak. Two hotshot crews continue to attack the fire using direct and indirect methods, with the help of aircraft as smoke permits. Efforts are focused on keeping the spot fire as small as possible in this rugged terrain and insuring the safety of firefighters.
Salmon Fire: Mop up operations will continue increasing and strengthening the containment line. The fire remains at 807 acres and 79% contained. Interior pockets will continue to burn.
Weather: High pressure will continue to promote very warm temperatures the next couple days. A slight chance of thunderstorms exists in the region during the afternoon with little or no precipitation expected.
Air quality: The massive high-pressure system in the area may result in more smoke in the valleys creating unhealthy morning air conditions. Refer to fires.airfire.org/outlooks/NWCalifornia.
Closures: The Red-Salmon Fire Complex Forest Closure became effective on August 8, 2020. The full Forest Closure Order can be found on Inciweb.
COVID-19: COVID-19 precautions are a priority at all incident camps with daily temperature screenings of personnel and implementing measures such as wearing face coverings and social distancing to prevent coronavirus spread. Community and firefighter safety are a top priority of both the incident management team and the National Forests.
