Information Center: 530-208-5615 Hours of Operation: 6 a.m. - 10 p.m.

Special notes: There is a RED FLAG WARNING today.

Weather: Partly cloudy this morning, becoming mostly cloudy with increasing moisture and instability that will lead to thunderstorms. Storms will be possible any time after 12pm but are most likely between 3pm and 7pm. Any thunderstorms will be capable of producing dangerous and erratic downdraft wind gusts, significant lighting, brief heavy downpours, and small hail. Storms should come from the S/SW. Temperatures may reach as high as 91F with humidity at 18-23%. Winds should be light in the morning, becoming S to SW at 8-12mph with gusts to 17mph in the afternoon, and downdrafts reaching up to 40mph. The rest of the week is predicted to remain sunny, very hot, dry, and unstable.

Current Situation: Yesterday’s thunderstorms caused strong and erratic outflow winds that contributed to rapid fire spread on the Caldwell Fire. Fire management responded with multiple resources including 20 engines, 5 water tenders, 3 hand crews with a total of 60 firefighters, and resource supervisors. The fire burned throughout the night and spread primarily to the north.

Evening infrared flights showed a growth of just over 30,000 acres, resulting in a total of 43,749 acres. The fire is now just south of County Road 120. There have been evacuations in the Tulelake area, and there was known impact to one structure and three outbuildings. Fire managers are assessing for damage.

The fire also had some growth to the west/northwest. Firefighters conducted burn-out operations around the Lava Beds National Monument Visitor Center and around some residences in order to protect this area.

Today brings similar unstable conditions; predicted gusty outflow winds could create more extreme fire behavior and growth. Drought-stressed fuels are holding heat for long periods of time and are receptive to spotting and therefore new ignitions.

Firefighters on the north of the fire will prioritize protecting structures in the Tulelake area and construct both direct and indirect containment line. Crews on the west of the fire will continue work on the secondary containment lines between the fire and the Medicine Lake area. There are 16 helicopters available to assist with suppression efforts today.

Resources will continue to staff the Caldwell Fire at night, monitoring the fire’s edge and engaging in suppression efforts as safety

permits.

Allen and Dalton Fires: The Allen and Dalton fires both have line around their entire perimeters. Crews continuing securing and mopping-up this line in order to be able to call it “contained”. Primary focus for the July Complex is on the Caldwell Fire.

Fire managers will employ tactics that safely engage fire while prioritizing firefighter and public safety and protecting values at risk. Life safety will always remain the number one priority. COVID-19 mitigations are being taken to limit exposure risks to firefighters and the public, per CDC guidelines.

Closures and Evacuations: There are MANDATORY EVACUATIONS for the following roads in the Tulelake area south of HWY 139: County Road 120 to 124, County Road 121 to 124, all residents with property bordering the forest or Lava beds from 120-124. There are EVACUATION WARNINGS for all of Copic, Panhandle and Peninsula areas south of HWY 139. There remains a MANDATORY EVACUATION in place for the Medicine Lake Recreation Area. The Lava Beds National Monument remains closed. For information

July Complex Fire Update

July 26, 2020 - 9:00 a.m.

California Interagency Incident Management Team 12

Mike Nobles, Incident Commander

Information Center: 530-208-5615

Hours of Operation: 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Special notes: Monday’s fire weather watch has been upgraded to a RED FLAG WARNING.

Weather: Today, Sunday, July 26th will remain very hot and dry with relative humidity in the low to mid-teens. It should be sunny in the morning, becoming partly cloudy in the afternoon. Temperature highs in fire areas will be up to 92F. Isolated thunderstorms may develop this afternoon into the evening, increasing in coverage and intensity on Monday. West to northwest winds will be breezy in the afternoon and could become gustier and more erratic near thunderstorms in the afternoon. Unstable conditions could contribute to active fire behavior and smoke columns. Monday brings a RED FLAG WARNING for abundant lighting on dry fuels.

Current Situation: Fire activity may pick up earlier in the day today than yesterday, and fires may burn for a longer period. The Caldwell Fire is burning in an area that has not seen fire for over 40 years and is now densely stocked with Ponderosa Pine and Lodgepole Pine stands. Fire will be most active in these areas (south and southwest), with potential for single tree and group tree torching and some tendency for short-range spotting.

Allen and Dalton Fires: The Allen and Dalton fires both have line around their entire perimeters. Crews are now securing and mopping-up this line in order to be able to call it “contained”.

Caldwell Fire: The Caldwell Fire is 13,125 acres. Fire was active toward the close of the day yesterday. Fire behavior on the Caldwell Fire remains fuel and terrain driven, moving from grassy areas into very dense ponderosa and lodgepole. Yesterday, crews improved roads and trails west of the Caldwell fire and constructed and enforced control line between the Lava Beds National Monument Visitor Center and the 10 road. Overnight crews furthered this work and monitored for any increased fire behavior or spread. Crews will continue line construction today, prioritizing areas between the fire and the Medicine Lake area and between the fire and the Lava Beds National Monument area. Firefighters are constructing multiple secondary control lines west of the fire and east of Medicine Lake. Structure protection crews are assessing the Medicine Lake area for any needs. Crews are still building direct control line along the fire’s edge when conditions are safe to do so. Air resources remain ready to assist in suppression efforts, with 18 helicopters available to be called to the Caldwell Fire as needed.

Night resources will remain on the Caldwell Fire, monitoring the fire’s edge and engaging in suppression efforts as safety permits.

Fire managers will employ tactics that safely engage fire while prioritizing firefighter and public safety and protecting values at risk. Life safety will always remain the number one priority. COVID-19 mitigations are being taken to limit exposure risks to firefighters and the public, per CDC guidelines.

Closures and Evacuations: There is a mandatory evacuation in place for the Medicine Lake Recreation Area. The Lava Beds National Monument remains closed. Please stay away from closed areas so that firefighters may perform work safely.

July Complex Fire Update

July 25, 2020 - 11:00 a.m.

California Interagency Incident Management Team 12

Mike Nobles, Incident Commander

Information Center: 530-208-5615

Hours of Operation: 7 a.m. - 9 p.m.

Special notes: On July 24, the California Interagency Incident Management Team 12 (CIIMT12) assumed command of the July Complex (Caldwell, Allen and Dalton Fires). The IMT brings a high level of skill to address increasing complexity.

There may be increased fire behavior today; smoke, including possible columns, may be visible for many miles around the fires.

Weather: Hot, dry and unstable conditions persist today, with temperature highs of 86-88F. Humidity will be 18-20%. Winds in the morning from the northeast at 4-6 mph with gusts to 10mph, becoming west 4-7 mph in the afternoon. Evening winds should remain light. The warming trend continues into Sunday, with temperatures 89-91F and a chance of thunderstorms. There is a FIRE WEATHER WATCH in effect Monday with potential for abundant lighting on dry fuels.

Current Situation: There is high demand for resources in Northern California due to multiple fires, however, personnel and equipment continue to arrive at the July Complex. Fire managers are looking for opportunities to safely engage the fires while prioritizing firefighter and public safety and protecting values at risk. Life safety will always remain the number one priority. COVID-19 mitigations are being taken to limit exposure risks to firefighters and the public, per CDC guidelines.

Since the start of the Caldwell, Allen, and Dalton Fires, downdraft winds from passing thunder cells have caused unpredictable and erratic fire behavior. Fire was active yesterday, with smoke visible from all directions. Fire crews and aircraft worked to slow fire spread, create new control lines, and enforce existing ones. Fire may be active again today as the inversion breaks. Hot and unstable conditions could contribute to plume development and short-range spotting. Fire is expected to remain fuel-driven with backing and flanking behavior. There could be some short, active runs. Aircraft may perform water drops over the fire today.

Caldwell Fire: The Caldwell Fire remains active, growing to 11,860 acres and is 0% contained. Fire was particularly active on the west and southwest yesterday. The Caldwell Fire is burning in rough and difficult to access terrain; this makes it challenging to safely engage. Today, firefighters will create both direct (at the fire’s edge) and indirect (away from the fire’s edge) control line to limit fire spread. Crews will build control line utilizing existing road and trail systems, building from the Lava Beds National Monument Visitor Center southwest and from the 10 Rd going back west toward the lava fields. The fire is approximately 5 miles from the Medicine Lake area. Structure protection resources are available should they be needed.   

Allen Fire: The Allen Fire is estimated at 948 acres with 60% containment. Yesterday, hand crews and dozers successfully created control line around much of the fire area. Today, firefighters will construct additional control line and perform mop-up (extinguish or remove burning material, fell snags/dangerous trees, remove logs so they will not roll downhill, etc.).

Dalton Fire: The Dalton Fire is approximately 1367 acres and 0% contained. Crews on the Dalton Fire will work to complete line construction and mop-up in order to secure the fire’s edge.

As of tonight, there will be a night operational period on the July Complex. Overnight crews will monitor fire edges and engage in suppression efforts as safety permits. Primary efforts will be on the Caldwell Fire.

Closures and Evacuations: There is a mandatory evacuation in place for the Medicine Lake Recreation Area as the Caldwell Fire threatens to cross Roads 97 and 49 and limit orderly exit. Fire has not reached the campgrounds but is growing in that direction.
