Good Morning Board,
th
The following is the October 5 morning report for the North Complex Fire. We are in Operational
Period 14 that will run until 8PM on Friday.
There has not been any significant changes to the fire. On the north end, the fire remains active east
of highway 70. There was a slight increase to the acres yesterday. But work on containment is
proceeding along. They expect to increase the percent containment today. The weather today will
be favorable allowing for water and retardant drops. By mid-week, the weather will become cooler
and more humid. This will help with controlling the fire. There is a likelihood of precipitation this
weekend. Wind is expected to increase when the weather system moves in. The fire crews are
prepping for the changed weather conditions.
Highway 70 remains closed at Deadwood Road. Oro-Quincy Highway at Lake Madrone to the Butte
County line is only open to residents.
The number of people in shelters is continuing to decline. There are 522 individuals in non-
congregate shelters in 248 rooms. Most of the rooms are out of the county. Efforts are being made
to relocate those being sheltered to Butte County. The hotline remains busy. Yesterday they
received 132 calls bringing the total to 2,706 calls. The Local Assistance Center plans to close on
Friday. There are 411 animals being sheltered. A focus is being made on reunification. All of the
Parvo infected dogs are doing well. There are no new cases. There is one dog that may have
distemper. The dog is being evaluated at UC Davis.
Public Works continues to focus on guardrails, tree removal and drainage. Public Works has a
contractor beginning work on Phase 1 removal. They also have a contractor coordinating with PG&E
on their project to put lines underground. The contractor is reviewing PG&E’s compliance with
county rules.
The EOC is in Operational Period 14 and will operate remotely today. We are entering the transition
phase from EOC to DROC. The structure of the DROC is ramping up. The EOC will remain active until
all of the people and animals no longer require shelter. Unless the situation changes or new
information comes forward, there will not be an evening report.
If you have any questions please let me know. Have a great day
Take care
Paul
