Six Rivers Lightning Complex UPDATE 8-23-2022
Six Rivers Lightning Complex
Publication Type: News 08/23/2022
The Six Rivers Lightning Complex remains in unified command with California Interagency Incident Management Team 14, California Highway Patrol, Trinity County Sheriff, and Humboldt County Sheriff. The Six Rivers Lightning Complex is currently 27,408 acres with 80% containment and 1,694 personnel assigned to the incident.
On Monday firefighters continued to focus efforts in areas of the Ammon and Campbell fires with the greatest fire activity. During this time favorable weather conditions helped to keep fire intensity relatively low to moderate. The clear skies from less smoke also allowed aircraft to support ground operations beginning earlier in the day. After days of hard work another goal was achieved, more evacuation orders were downgraded to evacuated warnings at 5:00 pm Monday allowing residents to return home (details below).
On the Ammon Fire, control lines are holding as firefighters continue to monitor, strengthen, and mop up. Fire activity remains active in the northeast corner where fire suppression work continues to be aimed at increasing containment. The more active of the two fires is the Campbell Fire where a large portion of incident resources are committed to the northeast corner. Firefighters and heavy equipment, supported by aircraft, are engaged here to improve containment. The existing containment lines remain intact and the spot fire east of the fire perimeter has been contained.
Today, a heavy marine layer will subdue fire activity until it lifts. Operations will remain consistent with the previous several days; strengthening control lines, directly engaging the fire where safe to do so, and prioritizing the operations related to completing line along Lone Pine Ridge. Firefighters are working to identify and establish contingency lines utilizing control lines established during previous fires.
