Heavy dead logs within the interior continue to smolder. The fire is expected to slowly spread towards the southwest into Horse Linto Creek and to the northwest in the South Fork of Tish Tang Creek. There is potential for the fire to move to the west, which would threaten the eastern boundary of the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation.

CA-MDF Rail Fire: 75 acres, 0% containment. Fire continues to burn in heavy timber slash with numerous spot fires. Heavy use of aerial resources this afternoon moderated fire spread.
