SCU LIGHTNING COMPLEX INCIDENT UPDATE 9/6/20 7AM

The SCU Lightning Complex started on August 16th with multiple fires within the complex. These fires have since merged into one major fire which is broken into two branches, Branch I and Branch II. Heat signatures continue to be detected. The creeping and smoldering continued throughout the night due to poor overnight humidity recovery, and minimal drop in temperatures. Smoke continues to be produced from hot stump holes and heavy material burning out. The SCU Complex continues to be in an Excessive Heat Warning until Monday 9/7 at 9pm. Conditions remained extremely dry overnight with little to no humidity recovery from the lack of marine layer. Light terrain driven winds were present through the area. Lingering haze and smoke will clear out over the area by 9am.
