little to no info....we are in Lewiston between the access road and the bucktail access road....very smoky and we have had the scanner up.....but its anybody's guess as to what is going on
Milt Mortensen called and said fire is 1/4 mile away from the Mortensen campground down Southfork of the Trinity River above the county road between Monroe Creek and Big Creek moving toward Big Creek. He is currently placing sprinklers on his house and barn. Dixie Mortensen's home is behind his. Help would be appreciated. If you can please help. Thank you, my prayers are with you as my heart belongs to Hyampom and its people. Rox
Milt Mortensen said fire is now to Big Creek going toward Lake Mountain. No one on it yet. Rox
500 people sitting at Hayfork waiting for orders to go. Big fire other side of Pattersen Peak (east)and Hayfork Balley.
As always, people have rallied to help. Love you all, Rox.

Two large puffs of smoke ignited from the other side of Ironside mountain. Lime fire creeping down underwood mountain. As of yesterday afternoon it was burning on both side of underwood mountain road six miles from Burnt Ranch.
10:00 pm, Wednesday, 6/25- Active FIRE both sides of road near HELENA, West of Junction City. Deputies notifying residents up East Fork, Helena, Bigfoot Campground and Canyon Lodge. High wind speed reported in Trinity River Canyon, pushing the fire.
Any news on the Ziegler Fire threatening Hawkins Bar?
yuba.net is a great site for imformation,waited all night for update on iron complex from forest service,its 12:30 am the 27th still nothing.yuba.net has there imformation for update on there site,so what happened to forest service.dont get wrong think all fire fighters doing a great job just have doubts about management only watching fires.i live in big bar on north side of river right of highway 299 closed 7 or 8 miles out in either direction fires or east n west of us,on our side of road but no information about us are how close fires are direction burning.further more theres no new maps of iron complex fire,never been one on forest service site is for all other fires and there updated,think everyone in these towns should have this imformation,even more so if they have to leave n theres no way out seeing fires toi east n west burning along highway n cant go over mountain because lime fire,maybe whole town of big bar big flat n del loma be spending there time in the river soon,hope it doesnt come to that
I heard yesterday,that the forest service plan is to close off Denny road, (all people need to have provisions for at least 3 days) They are going to try to set the fire line at Denny road. If it jumps that line, the unofficial word is that 299 will likely be the new fire line. The ultimate goal is to prevent Iron complex from joining with the lime fire.
Brandon with the La Grande, Oregon Hotshots: your mom and dad are thinking of you; you guys be careful out there...
Thanks for comment re: Ziegler Fire @ Denny Rd. So I read that as, "If the fire jumps the Denny Rd. they will do structure protection in Trinity Village and Hawkins Bar and try to hold the fire on the north side of 299."
Am I off-base on that?
You're right on base. Although like I said, this was an unofficial statement from someone who is married to a Cal-fire captain who works on the coast. Hopefully the Denny rd. line will hold up and we wont' have to worry about structure protection and setting the line at 299.
Thanks RBM. Please keep us posted on that fire if you get more information.

Virgil Leroy Hall is missing in the Deerlick Springs area. He left his home Monday in Ferndale on the coast of Humboldt county to see if friends needed assistance with the evacuation of Deerlick Springs, California, an area in the hills behind Platina. He had planned on camping for 1-2 nights, sleeping in his truck and helping packing or with the evacuation of Deerlick. He still had not returned by Thursday morning causing much concern for his family. The friends were finally contacted Friday by the family. The friends stated they had left the area early Monday morning by the Harrison Gultch Road, and had not seen him at that time. He would have been traveling on the Upper Road from Wildwood and they wouldn’t have passed each other. Also he would not have arrived until Monday afternoon, probably missing them on the roads. After calling hospital emergency rooms in Trinity and Shasta county, family made a missing person report on Friday for Mr. Hall to Humboldt County Sheriff Department. The Trinity county fire dispatch was also notified that their may be a missing person stranded in the Deerlick Springs area. Saturday the family was informed by Humboldt County Sheriff Office that when a missing person report is filed the information is put in a database and no one actually goes out to search for them. The information is there for use only if they stop someone or run a check of their vehicle. Saturday morning Mrs. Hall called Trinity County Sheriff office and asked for a welfare check of Mr. Hall at Deerlick Springs, and was informed by the on call officer that they were too understaffed to go out immediately and see if he was injured due to the high volume of calls from the fire.
The situation with Mr. Hall is very concerning as he is a diabetic. Mr. Hall only took food and medicine for a few days and by this time would have run out of both. Being a diabetic he may be having blood sugar problems and this could further complicate the situation. There has been no activity on his bank accounts and credit cards or other signs that would lead someone to believe he is not in the Deerlick Springs area. The area is remote enough to have no phone service and Mr. Hall does not have a cell phone with him. In any case there would be no service available in that area. At this time, no official agency is actively searching for Mr. Hall, and with the road closures the family is not able to go and do their own searching.
The family requests if you have any information on Mr. Hall’s whereabouts, please contact them at 707-407-6359 or 707-786-9119. Email to genzoli@yahoo.com Any information would be greatly appreciated.
My dad drove up underwood mt. rd this morning to check on the status of the fire that has been creeping down the mountain. It does not appear to be a threat to Burnt Ranch at this time. They've bulldozed parts of the road, the fire seems to be smoldering, but not active. No new news on Ziegler fire at this time. Good Luck to the Hall family, you're in my thoughts at prayers.
RELATING TO POST about: Missing Person in active fire area - VIRGIL LEROY HALL is a White Male Adult in his 60s. He is driving a DARK BLUE 1999 GMC Sonora Truck with EXTENDED CAB. Vigil is DIABETIC and may not be feeling well. See earlier post on this fire blog for details.

Hey Walt, how's it looking along New River? We've got a place in Trinity Village we're concerned about. Sounds like they're working hard to keep the fire on the other side of Denny Road. Hopefully it's not threatening your place.
Tim
Fire has burned down backside of Ironside toward south side of New River between 5 waters and Hoboken-crews hope to keep it from crossing the river but that's some rugged country with poor access. Structure protection crews have been contacting residents and scoping things out in Dailey Ranch area in case fire crosses the river. They said they would remain in the vicinity for at least a couple days but who knows given the limited resources.
Whats the air quality like today? 7-4-08
Trinity Village under voluntary evacuation as of noon 7/8.
Greetings,
Have house in the village, and pulled out various equipment etc., yesterday 7/8/08. At 5;00 p.m. the smoke was as thick as I've seen it, and neighbors were loading trailers.......I'm contacting USFS...will they let able-bodied people volunteer to build line?
I think you'd be better off cutting a good line around your property. We've done some but I don't think nearly enough. Hopefully it's a ground fire...then we'd have a chance. If it's torching the trees, which I'm sure it is considering the current weather conditions, we've got live oaks too close to the house that will go up like a roman candle...and that'll do in the house I'm sure. Hopefully the line they're building holds.
Smoke in Salyer this AM, so thick you coudn't see over 100 ft, it's lifted now and is just like everywhere else. Really strange.
The fires are out of control tonight. The cedar fire is producing large flames and black puffs of smoke. The ironside fires is down to the river across from underwood mountain rd. There are numerous cars parked and a lot of people watching the fire to see if it will threaten homes in Burnt Ranch. Zeigler fire is also getting bigger. No word on evacuations so far.
Yea,
We are getting the hell out tonight, can see the fire!!
what's the difference between an evacuation advisory and a voluntary evacuation? Trinity Village is under a voluntary evacuation as of 11:45 on 7/13.
I found my answer...
EVACUATION ADVISORY: This is a precautionary notice designed to give residents time to prepare for a possible evacuation. If you have special needs you might want to leave the area until the threat is passed. If you have livestock that needs transporting, you should move the animals.
VOLUNTARY EVACUATION: You are strongly urged to leave the area. If you choose to remain, you should be prepared to take action immediately if the danger approaches.
MANDATORY EVACUATION: You are in jeopardy and should leave the area immediately. If you choose to remain, you may be on your own as emergency personnel likely will not be able to help you.
For a complete list of evacuations...
