3:11pm Thursday: The following is an update on the fire from CAL FIRE:

Fire crews have observed a decrease in fire activity throughout the day. Firefighters are working to suppress the fire, which is currently burning with a slow rate of spread and measuring 1048 acres. The area with the most active fire remains on the northeast side. Fire crews are concentrating on building and improving containment lines, accomplishing the greatest progress on the south and west sides of the fire perimeter. The north and east sides of the fire continue to be areas of focus for fire line construction.

Weather conditions are expected to be more favorable for the remainder of today compared to yesterday, with lower temperatures and higher relative humidity. Fire crews anticipate temperatures in the low 80s throughout the day, dropping into the 50s overnight. Southwest winds are expected to continue throughout the day and into the night.

The fire continues to burn in challenging steep and rocky terrain. Helicopters and air tankers will also continue to drop water and retardant on the fire throughout the day. Additionally, fire crews are being flown in by helicopter and dropped off in difficult to access areas, constructing containment lines on the north and northeast sides. The crews inserted into these remote areas are expected to remain there for three days.

Evacuation orders and warnings remain in effect. However, there are currently no structures threatened. An evacuation order was partially lifted in zone SDC-1551, allowing residents to return to their homes.

Because the area is so remote and hard to reach by ground, crews are being shuttled in by helicopters.
