River Complex Fire Update Tuesday, September 28, 2021

Etna, CA- Although light, yesterday’s precipitation combined with below normal temperatures and extended period of high humidity, will keep fuel moistures up for the next several operational periods.  Overall fire activity should be minimal and isolated to smoldering in the heavier dead ground fuels.  These conditions will allow opportunity for success in continuing direct line construction and mop-up efforts.   

Several additional Interagency Hotshot Crews arrived to the incident yesterday. These crews will be inserted to assist the other crews constructing direct handline on the eastern portion of the fire today. All signs point to favorable conditions for the rest of the week for firefighters to be successful in containing the eastern flank of the fire near its current perimeter. 

The Cronan fire is 100% contained and is in patrol status.  Crews will continue to go direct on the Haypress Fire.   Weather prevented the use of infrared, therefore fire acreage is unchanged.
