Incident Overview: The Hill Fire started July 15, 2024 on the Lower Trinity District of the Six Rivers National Forest and is 7,224 acres with 61% containment. The fire is being fought under the unified command of Cal Fire Incident Management Team 2 (Kevin Bohall) and California Interagency Incident Management Team 4 (Rocky Oplinger). The cause remains under investigation.Latest daily update.Latest operations update videoLatest mapWhile the fire has grown significantly since ignition, fire 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.
