Windy Fire Update, September 29, 2021, evening recap
Windy Fire
Publication Type: News -
The #WindyFire is currently estimated to be 88,068 acres (a 167-acre increase from Wednesday morning’s reported acreage). Containment is 31 percent.
Fire behavior was moderate today. Along the eastern perimeter, firelines are holding from the Ponderosa south to Johnsondale. In the M99 corridor between Johnsondale and Baker Point, there are a few places where the fire continues to be more active, although it did not grow much. Crews are unable to directly suppress the fire there, so they are looking at various indirect fire-suppression options, for example, using helicopters to conduct bucket drops.
On the fire’s south side, where the numerous spot fires are, crews are constructing fireline around and suppressing the isolated fires individually. On the western side of the fire, crews are also able to directly suppress the fire in many places. Clear skies allowed numerous helicopters to assist firefighters on the ground with water drops.
The livestreamed public meeting today at 7 p.m, will be available to watch on the Sequoia National Forest's Facebook page at the meeting's conclusion if you were unable to watch it live.
