The Six Rivers Lightning Complex is currently 41,540 acres with 81% containment and 949 personnel assigned to the incident. Ammon – 11,465 acres; Campbell – 30,075 acres, with 38 acres of interior growth.

CURRENT SITUATION

Yesterday was another hot day across the fire area. A Remote Automated Weather System (RAWS), near the west-southwest area of the fire, registered 1040 at 5:00 pm. A burning tree fell into an unburned pocket of fuel, causing a minor flare on Lone Pine Ridge control line one the north side of the Campbell Fire. Crews were aided by helicopter support to extinguish flames before they could threaten the containment line. 

Today, fire crews will continue to patrol the perimeter looking for any remaining hotspots. Firefighters will continue to fall hazard trees along roadways within the burned area and continue with suppression repair. Intense heat is expected again today but temperatures should begin to decrease over the next few days. Smoke production will decrease as fire activity declines, improving overall air quality.
