| Significant Events |
Salmon fire continues to back to the south, with the east and west flanks being checked up to the ridge tops. The north flank has sloped over the ridge and is backing towards Red Cap lake. Roll-out and slope driven runs continue on both fires (Red and Salmon).
Remarks: A new base camp for crews is being established in the town of Orleans for increased logistics on the incident. Predicted northwest winds could influence spread direction on the Red fire increasing the possibilities that the Salmon and Red fires could burn together. Fuel model sampling shows above average fuel moisture for the fire area. This may contribute to the observed fire behavior on the incident. The Big Rock River Access on the Trinity River remains closed to public access. Both fires are in wilderness, a mix of direct attack and light on the land strategy will be used. Three counties are involved, Red fire in Humboldt county, and the Salmon fire in Trinity county bordering Siskiyou county on the east flank. Cultural and historic sites are threatened. One historic cabin has been wrapped in preparation of fire advancement |

The Integrated Public Alert Warning System (IPAWS) uses the US Emergency Alert System (EAS) and the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) to send emergency messages across televisions, radios and any cell phone capable of receiving messages within the operational area.
