Carr fire briefing Monday at THS
Monday briefing at THS from Cal Fire:The Carr fire is at 98,000 acres and 20 percent containment. Most of that increase is on the southeast side due to more favorable conditions.The fire has not reached Lewiston.There is no estimate as to when the evacuation of Lewiston will be lifted.Fire behavior is still erratic.The north and west sections (toward Trinity) have been the most active lately.Objective yesterday was to hold the fire at County Line Road. Last night flame lengths of 100 to 200 feet were experienced. The county line was crossed in three spots: Just south of Highway 299, north of Highway 299 and at the north part of the fire in the direction of the Papoose arm of Trinity Lake. The slop overs totaled about 100 acres.Goals are to try to mitigate those slop overs and hold the line in the other spots. Firefighters hope to bring in aircraft when it’s not too smoky to paint the ridges with retardant.Daytime relative humidity is still low, but late night humidity is expected to increase which would be helpful.There will be a community meeting at 4 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Trinity Alps Performing Arts Center in Weaverville.

This morning's Carr fire map from the firefighting agencies shows the fire did cross County Line Road into Trinity County in places, but it did not get to Lewiston.All of Lewiston was put under mandatory evacuation last night, and that evacuation stands.Power has been off and on. It was off overnight because operators at Trinity Trinity PowerPlant were evacuated and were not there to make the necessary adjustments. They are back now. TPUD staff said normally the the plant can be operated remotely, but that isn't possible at this time due to the Carr fire.
