Current Situation
Situation Summary
Crews continue heavy mop-up operations across the incident, working aggressively to extinguish lingering hot spots within dense ground fuels. The deep juniper duff is contributing to stubborn holdover heat, requiring extensive handline reinforcement and water support.
All evacuation warnings remain in place out of an abundance of caution due to potential fire behavior changes influenced by shifting winds and interior flare-ups.
Resources remain committed to reinforcing control lines, improving containment, and ensuring the safety of nearby communities.
Further updates will be provided as containment efforts progress.
CAL FIRE'S Damage Inspectors conducted damage inspections of the Juniper Incident today. 1 Single Family Residence classed structure and 1 Outbuilding classed structure were determined to be destroyed.
Please avoid the area due to heavy fire resources in the area.
