CAL FIRE and the Forest Service are engaged in a coordinated response to manage and suppress the August Complex.

The Complex has been split into three zones to effectively provide a response for the communities at risk.

Yesterday, in the West Zone southerly winds allowed the smoke to thin somewhat over the fire area as warm and dry conditions continue. This caused some moderate fire behavior overnight.

Winds will generally turn more south and then southwesterly and increase as a weather system over the Pacific Ocean approaches the coast. This should clear much of the smoke resulting in warmer temperatures and lower relative humidity. As the onshore wind increases, humidity will eventually begin to increase as well.

Steep, inaccessible terrain and narrow winding roads continue to be a challenge for firefighters. Crews will continue with direct and indirect line construction and identifying structure defense plans.

Assigned Resources: Engines: 47 Water Tenders: 13 Helicopters: 9 Hand Crews: 3 Dozers: 61 Other: 2 Total Personnel: 586.
