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 32,572 acres with 80% containment and 1,860 personnel assigned to the incident.

 CURRENT SITUATION

The weather on Sunday was sunny, but smoky. For the next few days a slight rise in temperatures and drop in humidity have been forecasted. Caution will be exercised, as fire activity is likely to remain low with potential to become moderate to high. 

Sunday, firefighters continued with mop up on the Ammon Fire, working systematically to extinguish many smoldering fires. This labor-intensive work is important to ensure no spot fires or rollout occur outside of containment lines. On the Campbell Fire, defensive firing operations were continued. The areas in which firing efforts were concentrated were, along Lone Pine Ridge and Groves Prairie Road. The firing operations have been very successful thus far, creating good depth along the control line ahead of the advancing fire front.

 Monday, a structure protection task force has been assigned to the areas of Trinity Village and Hawkins Bar. They will remain in place as firefighters continue to strengthen control lines, construct contingency lines, and conduct more defensive firing operations.
