Lassen and Plumas National Forests, August 30, 2021 — Red Flag warnings and very low relative humidity are expected from 10 am today through Tuesday evening. These southwest winds will challenge firefighters on Grizzly Ridge over the next few days as the fire burns actively. Fire Crews continue to shore up the dozer lines around Grizzly ridge toward the Walker fire scar as dozers lines were constructed all the way up to Antelope Lake. Everything east of the Genesee Valley remains secure and mop up continues with tactical patrols looking for hot spots. From the Genesee Valley into Taylorsville crews continue aggressively mopping up to add depth to the protection zones around structures. Several contingency lines have been added between the fire and Quincy, Greenhorn, and communities further south. Crews continue constructing contingency lines north of Lake Davis to protect the homes.
Dixie Fire West Zone: Firefighters continue to aggressively fight active fire, as winds increase into the beginning of the week, bringing red flag conditions in some areas, and extreme fire behavior is expected. Firefighters continue to patrol fire lines, reinforce primary control lines, and establish secondary and contingency lines. Fire continues to burn in steep and rugged terrain. Cooperating agencies continue to work for the safety of crews, including scouting for roadway repairs, infrastructure needs and removal of dangerous trees and vegetation.
Certain evacuation orders have been reduced to warnings and certain warnings have been lifted allowing some residents to return to their homes and businesses. Returning residents are strongly encouraged to stay vigilant with regard to current fire conditions. Residents may see smoke coming from trees and stumps for days following their return. Proceed with caution. Burned out areas have unseen hazards below ground and overhead. Residents are encouraged to call 911 if they are concerned about any active flames near their homes or businesses rather than attempting to deal with such flames themselves.
