Current Situation:

A full suppression strategy has been implemented for the Fawn Fire through a combination of direct and indirect tactics. Efforts are being made to minimize impacts to residences, critical infrastructure, and areas of cultural significance. Minimal rain is predicted starting late Monday through Tuesday. The wind shift due to the building high pressure will potentially push the fire to the north and east under a south/southwest wind with gusts up to 15 mph. CAL FIRE Damage Inspection Teams (DINS) began a detailed official damage assessment today. The team completed 30% of the assessment today and will continue the next few days. Residents within evacuation warnings should be prepared to leave if fire activity increases.
