Many people will be stranded because of
I-5 closure and will be looking to this site for information.
Keep up the great flow of info.
Hey all - I’ve added a few layers to this map to help with situational awareness (CalTrans closures, CHP feed, Traffic cams). I hope this helps! The traffic cams give a pretty indication of where the fire has grown.

15000 acres at 2200 hours! Wow!
Wow! 15,000+ acres in 9 hours. That’s crazy. It’s a monster, be safe out there!
We were heavily involved as one of the first engines pulled of the Hirz to help. I have never seen a timber fire run at us the way this one did so quickly. It was a perfect storm of fuels wind and topography. Some REAL good work done by all the crews involved to try to create order from chaos

Putting tankers on a hold. They were using them to build line on a ridge, but AA and ops have decided that they don’t have enough time to put the line in and burn it before the fire gets there. Going to be coming up with a “whole new game plan”. Additionally flying conditions are very tough with heavy smoke, and low visibility.
Conditions have smoked in enough that AA is talking to Ops about returning to base and saving flight time, until things cleared up. The lead plane has already returned to Redding.
Tankers from the Delta are being pushed over to the SHF-Kerlin or to bases.
From The Trinity Journal
Evacuations of the East Fork Road area in north Trinity County are under way due to the Delta fire, radio traffic indicates.
“(The fire) crossed over the Trinity-Shasta line and it is easing into Halls Gulch,” said Trinity County OES Manager Ed Prestley.
From the Trinity Center Volunteer Fire Department, Chief Steve Renten roughly estimated that 100 people live in the East Fork area. Alpen Cellars is also there.
The Delta fire started yesterday near the Vollmers exit on I-5 north of Lakehead and is burning on both sides of the I-5. Numerous structures in Shasta County are threatened.
