Incident Update Dixie Fire

Situation Summary

Current Conditions:

Dixie Fire West Zone: The Dixie Fire continues to move North and Northeast with moderate uphill runs primarily flanking and backing. Crews continue to fight fire aggressively, construct and reinforce control lines, and protect structures. Mop up efforts have begun where appropriate. Possible isolated thunderstorms may occur mainly to the east of the fire with an increased potential for large Pyrocumulus or Cumulonimbus development over the fire this evening. Damage assessments are ongoing with limited access to some areas due to fire activity.

Dixie Fire East Zone: The Dixie and Fly Fires have burned together. Total acreage and containment have been combined and the incident will retain the name Dixie. The Dixie Fire remains in Unified Command with two teams overseeing the fire: CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 1 on the West Zone, and California Interagency Incident Command Team 2 on the East Zone. Evacuation orders and warnings are changing frequently. Please follow local law enforcement and forest social media pages, and sign up for Code Red Alerts. Residents are encouraged to develop an evacuation preplan if you are not currently in an evacuation area.
