CURRENT SITUATION: We have now reached 100% containment on the Peak Fire. Firefighters are transitioning into suppression repair, while remaining diligent on patrol looking for any hot spots. Crews will continue mopping up on the interior of the burned area, adding water on any smoldering stump holes, and down trees whenever it is safe to do so. Weakened trees and snags continue to be a concern for firefighter safety. We greatly appreciate the public’s help and understanding by abiding by the Forest Order Closure.
On October 11th the Forest Order went into effect restricting access into the Herring Creek, Hammill Canyon Loop. Active fire and hazardous standing trees, and their proximity to roads and trails are clear indicators that the fire area is dangerous. Our number one priority is for firefighter and public safety.
FIRE RESTRICTIONS: Forest Order No. STF-16-2024-11, Stanislaus National Forest, Peak Fire Closure. This Order is effective from October 11, 2024, through December 5, 2024, within the National Forest System lands, roads, and trails. The Order is necessary to ensure that firefighting efforts continue unimpeded and to protect the public from the hazards associated with actively burning fire behavior, or until replaced or rescinded.
