There are currently 2 large fires burning in the GACC: CA-HUU Buckeye is 205 acres and 100 percent contained. Mop-up and fire suppression repair continue.

The GACC is also supporting an incident in San Mateo County: City of San Bruno: The Glenview Incident is an urban incident, about 15 acres and 90 percent contained. The result of an explosion, this fire is burning in a residential neighborhood. Numerous homes have been destroyed or damaged. An FMAG has been approved for this incident. This is a local government incident, State and Federal entities will be providing support as requested. Fuels are dry throughout the region. 1000 hour fuels are measured below 15 percent. Live fuel moistures are measured between 70 and 125 percent. During September and October North Ops commonly sees several large fires while initial attack activity continues. High pressure will be overhead through Saturday, producing a drying and warming trend. Afternoons will be dry with light winds and near normal temperatures. A light N-NE surface wind pattern will affect wind-prone areas from the lower western slopes of the Sierra to the coastal ranges, including the East Bay area. Those areas may see night and morning gusts in the teens with poor RH recovery. On Sunday an offshore low pressure trough will begin to deepen, producing an increasing S-SW flow over the North Ops region that will reach peak strength around midweek east of the Cascade-Sierra crest. There are very few resources committed out of the GACC.
