This will be the Final Update from the Lund team, fire information calls should be directed to: 530 226-2500 press #2.
Current Fire Situation and Strategy: Resources continue repair and rehabilitation work on both the Lime and Yolla Bolly Complex. Repairs include water barring exposed areas and replacing soil and brush on the fire line.
Initial repair on both the Yolla Bolly and Miners fire will be complete and will change to monitoring by the end of the week.
Suppression and repair efforts for Yolla Bolly are based from Rat Trap Gap until end of shift on Thursday. The Trinity County Fairgrounds Camp will be closing on Friday, August 29.
Archery season opened Saturday, August 16. Portions of the South Fork Management Unit that were closed due to the fires have been re-opened for hunting. Hunters can see maps of the open areas at the Hayfork or Harrison Gulch Ranger Stations. Maps of the remaining closures are listed on the Shasta-Trinity NF website.
Assessment will continue toward opening remaining closed areas while maintaining public and firefighter safety. Some fire traffic will continue in both open and closed areas of the forest, anyone driving roads in the fire area is asked to be cautious and travel slowly.
Area Closures: The Hyampom road reopened to the public at 8:00 a.m. on Aug 4th. The ongoing construction project will still result in traffic delays. The pre-fire traffic control will remain in effect. Within the South Fork Management Unit (Hayfork and Yolla Bolly) of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, most Forest Service roads and trails remain closed except Forest Roads 2N07 (Post Road) and 2N10 (Indian Valley Road) and roads within the area opened for hunting. The closure does not include state and county roads or private lands. The Yolla-Bolly Wilderness is also closed to public.
Fire restrictions are in place for the area. The next six weeks are traditionally wildfire season in northern California, everyone should be careful to prevent additional fire starts.
Fire Information will be available at 530-628-4392 through Friday, August 29.
