| 09/09 | 1800 | Williams Fire, CA-ANF-004803 4,192 acres with fire 83 percent contained. The incident map shows containment lines are complete but the containment remains at 83%. This is due to inaccessible areas of the fire that are being monitored and supported with aircraft. As these are determined cold, utilizing IR, containment will increase. A slow moving weather system with potential for lightning, flash floods and 45 MPH wind repeated itself after a similar system yesterday that produced multiple lightning strikes near the fire. A decision was made to pull all resources off the hill this morning until the current weather system has passed the fire area. The wetting rain and lightning was determined to be unsafe for crews to work in safely. The situation is being monitored throughout the day. Evacuations of the San Gabriel Canyon are still in effect. Highway 39 remains closed.
