Orleans area resident, Doug Cole Dillon Fire

SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. – UPDATED - 8 a.m.

The Dillon Fire remains 11,929 acres and 78% contained. Firelines are holding across all divisions as firefighters patrol and mop up along the eastern edge, where no heat has been detected near the line. Crews have completed backhaul of excess equipment from the Ti Bar area and along southern dozer lines, and suppression repair is now the primary focus.

In the south, firefighters completed chipping operations and a “seek and destroy” mission targeting isolated hot spots and heat signatures. In the north, crews concentrated on an interior island and expect to have it secured by evening, while isolated hot spots above Coffee Can Creek continue to be addressed.

Hot and dry weather continues today, with temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 90s — 8 to 10 degrees above normal for this time of year. Relative humidity is expected to fall to around 20%, with some areas dropping into the upper teens. Tonight, poor recovery is expected along mid-slopes and ridges, where humidity will remain in the 20s, while valleys may see slightly better improvement. The pattern of above-normal heat and dry conditions is forecast to persist through midweek.

With crews shifting to suppression repair, firefighters will also remain diligent in monitoring the fire’s edge and responding to hot spots as the hot, dry weather continues. _________________________________________________________
