Situation Summary

Weather conditions return to seasonally normal, and fire is expected to remain within the current perimeter with no additional growth anticipated. With the returning Santa Ana winds Monday, widespread critical fire weather conditions remain present. Crews continue to establish and improve the fire line, seek out and extinguish hot spots and construct containment lines to limit further structural damage within the areas still at risk. Supporting search and rescue efforts where needed. 

The ongoing search and recovery mission continues to limit utility agencies' ability to repair infrastructure, delaying the repopulation process, and an increased need for specialized supplies related to all-hazards response for responders and repopulating civilians, including masks, respirators, gloves, eye protection and decontamination, is present.
