Low overnight winds, increased humidity and effective firing operations helped firefighters hold and bolster containment lines on the CZU Lightning Complex. An infrastructure group is working to open roads, mitigate hazard trees and restore utilities. Damage inspection continues where fire activity has diminished and it is safe to do so.
