9/2/25 Morning update from Shasta-Trinity National Forest on Facebook
Size: 488 acres
Containment: 5%
Operations: On the east side of the fire, crews are holding and improving the containment line up to the Trinity Alps Wilderness boundary. On the northeast side of the fire, firefighters are strengthening containment lines by connecting them into natural granite features. On the south edge, firefighters are working to extend handlines from the south, up into the southwest side of the fire into Mule Creek. On the west side, crews are digging handline toward Granite Peak with the goal of successfully placing fire hose in that area. Firefighters are also improving contingency lines and identifying opportunities for any additional contingency lines around the Peak Fire
Fire Activity: fire progression will be primarily driven by fuels and topography. With dry fuels in the area and very steep topography, rollout remains a concern on slopes. Any fire activity that aligns with wind and slopes, especially in thunderstorms, could rapidly accelerate.
Fire Weather: There is a red flag warning over the fire area from 1 pm to 8 pm. There is a chance of dry thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening with wind gusts from 35-50 mph and little to no precipitation. Lightning could start new fires in the area. Daytime highs in the 80s with relative humidity values in the teens. Conditions starting Wednesday are expected to be similar to Monday’s hot and dry.
Closures: The Shasta-Trinity National Forest has issued a Peak Fire Closure Order – Forest Order No. 14-25-22. This is effective August 30, 2025, through January 31, 2026. To view the order and map, please click on the link to Peak Fire Closure Order.
