Current Situation: On the afternoon of September 8, 2020 the North Complex fire entered Butte County with a vengeance, driven by extreme winds, heavy dry fuels, and steep terrain. The North Complex Fire is broken into three(3) zones: North , South, and West. The North and South Zone are managed by the United States Forest Service. The West Zone is managed by CAL FIRE Incident Management Team 4. Firefighters continue to reinforce the primary, alternate and contingency fire lines throughout the fire area. Last night firefighters continued to aggressively mop up hotspots within the fire perimeter, to prevent any chance of embers or debris crossing the fire line. Fire crews made great progress in Divisions D and F, they have been able to tie the fire down into the Ponderosa Reservoir and it is currently holding. Crews will continue to mop up hot spots and keep a close eye on this area as we move into a wind event this weekend. Crews will also patrol the North Complex West Zone during the wind event to catch any possible flare ups. A fire weather watch is in effect from Saturday through Monday. The critically dry fuel makes the vegetation extremely receptive to fire. PSPS PG&E is monitoring a wind event developing Saturday afternoon and continuing through Sunday and possibly Monday. At this time the event will impact 18,742 customers in Butte County. Power is estimated to de-energize Saturday evening, with as estimated re-energizing by Monday night into Tuesday morning. There is an estimated 1,700 medical baseline customers that will be impacted by this event. An additional note: at time of this report the scope has expanded with a new customer count of 95,000 customers.
