Wildfire Status:
The 2024 SQF Lightning wildfire complex, which began on July 13, 2024, due to a lightning storm in the Sequoia National Forest, consists of two main fires: the Trout Fire and the Long Fire. The Trout Fire has burned approximately 23,822 acres and is currently 98% contained, while the Long Fire has affected 9,204 acres with a containment level of 97%. Both fires are located northeast of Isabella Lake within the Dome Land Wilderness of Tulare County.
Fire response teams have been actively monitoring and managing the situation, with minimal fire behavior reported for both fires. The incident is under the command of Rob Hedlund, and fire agencies have shifted their focus towards patrol and reassessment to ensure that containment remains stable. There are currently no personnel actively engaged at the fire sites, as the situation has stabilized significantly.
Weather conditions in the area are concerning, with dry conditions expected to persist. Afternoon temperatures are projected to remain 10-12 degrees above normal, which could pose a risk if conditions change. Terrain-driven winds are anticipated, but the immediate outlook indicates that both fires are unlikely to experience significant activity in the coming days. Firefighters remain on alert, ready to respond should any changes occur.
