The fire is expected to continue to smolder inside the containment line as the weather continues to become hotter and dryer. Roll out did occur in the Horse Linto Creek area today and resulted in a quarter acre of growth, but did not cross the creek. This is still well within the primary indirect contingency lines. CA-KNF Forks Complex: 36,1779 acres, 66% contained. Expected containment 09/15/2013. Herold, ICT3.The Fire area is experiencing warmer temperatures, low RH, and north/east winds that are predicted over the next few days. The fire continues to be fuels and slope driven as general winds are rarely surfacing in the drainage bottoms. No movement of fire outside of the control lines is anticipated. Firing operations were conducted with success on a small portion of the established dozer line in Division G to secure containment. In other Divisions, the fire behavior that was observed was mainly smoldering and creeping in isolated pockets of fuel accumulations well inside containment areas. CA-SCU Morgan Fire: 3,718 acres, 20% contained. Expected containment 09/14/2013. Derum/Patterson, Unified Command. High temperatures, low humidity, offshore winds as well as steep slopes are hampering crews in containing the fire.
