N shore of Little Grass Valley Res to PCT & 27 road system - Fire did not jump firing lines. Continuing to monitor. Will only do firing if pushed by winds.

#NorthComplex #NorthComplexWestZone #BearFire USFS Update continued👇

Crews "will be wind tested today." Winds anticipated up to 30 MPH in some areas due to gusts. (Sarah's note: up to 35 MPH in West Zone). 80% of embers that jump fire lines are most likely to ignite.

200 acre spot on north Oro-Quincy Hwy overnight. Team contained eastern flank, today working on western.

#NorthComplex #NorthComplexWestZone #BearFire USFS Update continued👇
USFS priorities today are keeping fire away from Haskins, Tollgate, Buck Lake, Meadows Valley infrastructure and keeping fire north of LaPorte.

#NorthComplex #NorthComplexWestZone #BearFire USFS Update continued👇
Meadows Valley & Tollgate now under mandatory evac. "no imminent structure threat right now but w/lack of resources & wind surfacing we may have to shift from perimeter protection to structure protection"

#NorthComplex #NorthComplexWestZone #BearFire USFS Update continued👇

The public often asks how they can help the fire crews: "You can help by evacuating."

You not leaving impedes us in saving your structure. It is a safety issue.
