Beginning today, a smaller Type 3 firefighting organization will be in place to complete containment of the fire.
@caiimt11 appreciates the support of Hoopa Valley tribal members & the Hoopa FD. We hope everyone remains healthy during these challenging pandemic times. - Team 11
The #Milepost21Fire is 90% contained today. There is a little more suppression repair to do and isolated stumpholes are still burning in the interior of the fire perimeter. Some parts of the fire will be monitored and patrolled in the steepest areas where hazards remain.
Waterbars are road construction features that are used to prevent erosion on sloping roads. Inserting these features at intervals reduce the volume of water flowing down a road and eroding the soil.
