Special Statement

Smoke from the new fire South of Grass Valley, the Crozier Fire, may impact the Outlook area.

Fire

The fire is at 428,744 with 34% containment. The fire continues to be active in the Mill Creek drainage and in the interior of the perimeter due to heavy, dry fuels. Fire behavior will be moderate today until the inversion lifts late afternoon.

Smoke

Smoke is shading the fire, leading to moderate fire activity. Smoke continues to impact Shingletown and Chester. Chester could remain in the Very Unhealthy air quality conditions throughout the day and will remain in the Lake Almanor area until winds can clear the smoke out. Areas to the West of the fire are in Good to Moderate air quality conditions. Smoke should decrease in these areas today due to the West, Southwest winds.

Be Smoke Aware

If you smell smoke and it is impacting you, seek relief if possible.
