Press release from the unified command of the Six Rivers Lightning Complex:
The Six Rivers Lightning Complex is currently 41, 502 acres with 81% containment and 998 personnel assigned to the incident.
(Ammon – 11,465 acres; Campbell – 30,037 acres)
CURRENT SITUATION
Hot temperatures are expected to persist for the next several days. Although there has been no perimeter growth across the Ammon and Campbell fires for several days, interior burning of litter and heavier ground fuels across the forest floor will continue to produce smoke. The current stable weather conditions will keep the smoke from moving out of the area, so similar conditions are expected with the smoke accumulating along the Trinity River in the morning and lifting in the late afternoon each day. Firefighters continue to patrol the perimeter of the fire, coordinating with the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to identify the remaining hot areas near the control lines. Wildland crews are also continue to remove hazard trees that could impact the road systems throughout the fire area.
Resource Advisors (READS) are working closely will local tribal and forest personnel to identify the many cultural resource areas in the fire areas in advance of suppression repair and rehabilitation to ensure these areas will not be disturbed while fire crews work in the areas of concerns. This coordination also allows for efficient use of shared resources.
