All evacuation orders and warnings have been lifted. Latest updatesOperations Update (video)Latest mapFire behavior has moderated and primarily is driven by weather conditions with mixed hardwood-conifer timber at lower elevations. Upper elevations are dominated by light brush and litter under a conifer overstory. The northern edge of the fire has burned into the footprint of 2022’s Ammon Fire where reduced fuel loads have led to reduced fire activity.Early on, the fire grew rapidly and prompted evacuations as well as the use of significant air resources. Because the fire is burning on both state and federal lands, two incident management teams were called in to share in suppression efforts, one federal team and one CAL FIRE team. As of 8/15/2024, Hill Fire is 100% contained and now managed by local staff from the Lower Trinity Ranger District.
