Operational Updates: California Complex Incident Management Team 1 assumed command of the Dillon Fire this morning. The top priority is public and firefighters’ safety. The Dillon Fire is being managed with a full suppression strategy. The fire remained active yesterday and through the night.

Hose lays have been established near structures east of Highway 96 near Ti Bar Ranch. Today crews continue to focus on the fire in the area, doing structure protection and constructing control lines near structures. Heavy equipment completed a dozer line along Beans Ridge, and hand crews plan to finish a handline to tie into Forest Service Road 13N13. Fire personnel are scouting the southern and west sides of the fire looking for opportunities to establish control lines. Firefighters are working closely with resource advisors and cultural resource specialists to ensure natural and cultural resources are protected. The fire is backing down to Dillon Creek on the north side of the fire and fire activity is being monitored closely, but no crews are in this area due inaccessibility.

Weather will continue to be dry and warm with temperatures in the mid 80’s. Relative humidity will remain in the upper teens, and wind gusts up to 25 miles an hour are possible.

CalTrans: Operating 1-way controlled traffic on Highway 96 at various locations from 10.7 miles west to 2.2 miles west of Cottage Grove due to fire operations.
