The Stone Fire is currently 38,188 acres and 25% contained. There are 971 resources assigned to the fire, including seven helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft as needed.

The fire continued to burn actively until the wind decreased. Firefighters worked directly along the fire’s active edge, completing containment line along the northwestern edge between Forest Road 41N44E and Forest Road 41N17.

They are also working on direct line northeast to Turner Creek. This work will continue today.

Crews continued to patrol and mop up along Highways 139 and north of 299, and those areas continue to show little to no fire activity. The southern edge of the fire is looking good as well. Residents on County Roads 84 and 85 were notified that the evacuation order affecting them was lifted yesterday afternoon. These County Roads are currently open to residents ONLY, due to fire equipment and personnel in the area.

Residents in the area should be aware that there is still unburned vegetation within the fire perimeter that will continue to ignite and burn into the coming days. Crews are monitoring and taking suppression action on any hot spots or snags that could threaten containment lines.
Weather today is predicted to be less windy, with higher morning humidity. These lighter winds and cooler temperatures are predicted through the day today and tomorrow, with another wind event anticipated on Sunday.

Motorists can expect temporary delays on roads within the fire area. The most updated conditions are available from Caltrans at http://www.dot.ca.gov/cgi-bin/roads.cgi or by calling 1-800-GAS-ROAD.
