As of Saturday morning the Six Rivers Lightning Complex — a group lightning fires to the north and south of Highway 299 near Willow Creek — has grown to 15,232 acres. The good news is that, despite Friday night being the driest so far since the fires started, crews have managed to finally bring the fire perimeter to 12 percent containment. 

Update the unified command of the Six Rivers Lightning Complex:

INCIDENT INFORMATION
Unified Command: Six Rivers National Forest, CAL FIRE, California Highway Patrol, Trinity County Sheriff, and Humboldt County Sheriff.

CURRENT CONDITIONS
The Lightning Complex Fire is currently 15,232 acres with 12% containment. There are 1,641 personnel assigned to the incident. USFS, CAIIMT 11 and CAL FIRE continue to work together in a unified command with a full suppression strategy to provide protection for structures, impacted communities, crucial infrastructure, and important wildlife habitat.   

Last night in the area west of the Bremer Fire, firefighters performed firing operations using dozer and handlines to remove fuels to protect homes. Crews will continue to monitor and patrol the fire to look for threats to control lines.

On the northwest side of the Waterman Fire, crews conducted successful firing operations off Waterman Ridge. Today fire crews will focus on holding the Four Road, aka Waterman Ridge Road, to provide protection for the communities of Salyer Loop and Salyer Heights.

On the Campbell Fire, resources are working to keep the fire from the community of Trinity by maintaining the fire line constructed earlier along Waterman Road.

On the west side of the Ammon Fire, crews constructed dozer line and will continue working in the area today to construct handline. In the southeast corner near the Six Road off Ammon Ridge, crews successfully contained spot fires last night. They will continue to focus on this area today, establishing control lines. Firefighters will also continue to improve confinement lines along Ammon Ridge today. To the west side on Friday Ridge Road, firefighters will continue to work along the Friday Ridge system.

Fire activity is expected to increase today with lower humidities and shifting winds. Aerial firefighting support will be deployed when visibility permits over the Campbell and Ammon areas.
