From the meeting last night, not a lot was gleened for sharable information that would be helpful to our guests traveling in the next few days I will share the county update from this morning with information that might be helpful. Basically-we are most likely going to continue to see smoke plumes and have smoke and haze in the valley throughout the next couple of days until the rains move in. Once the weather shifts in the next couple of days, then things should be mostly back to normal-normal. The town will continue to be in Yellow status out of caution for embers flying throughout the area while conditions are still hot and dry. Hwy 149 is open and speed limits are slower through the fire area. You will receive an emergency alert message if you drive through town to alert you to their Yellow evacuation status.
Here is the information from our county update this morning:
Current Situation: Additional resources will continue to arrive over the next few days. A combination of indirect confinement and structure protection work continues around Lake City and along Hwy 149.
Division X suppression repair work has been completed, and heavy equipment will move out of the area over the next couple of days. In Division A, crews continue to provide structure protection for the structures closest to the fireline. This includes laying hoses, placement of water tanks, such as ‘pumpkins’, and installation of other water-handling equipment. Resources arrived yesterday to staff Division G, and they will spend the day assessing the area. Division J and Division M remain unstaffed, and a contingency group is developing a plan in the event of spotting across Hwy 149.
Weather and Fire Behavior: The dry and warmer temperatures are expected to remain in place for one more day before a change in the weather pattern. A slight increase in clouds and humidity could help calm the fire behavior down. There is still potential for the alignment of wind and slopes for group tree torching and uphill runs that cause columns of smoke.
