The cloud cover should help to moderate fire behavior, especially in the lighter fuels (e.g., grass), by increasing humidity levels. However, the gusty &amp; erratic winds associated with today&#39;s scattered, lingering thunderstorms can fan the fires&#39; flames &amp; carry embers far aloft. Fire behavior is generally expected to be flanking &amp; down hill backing, with some isolated torching in areas with heavier fuels concentrations.Today&#39;s Objectives: Firefighters are making outstanding progress in &quot;corraling&quot; the remaining, uncontrolled flame fronts burning in the Complex.

Local and State resources were stretched thin responding to these fires. On the Mendocino National Forest, the Mendocino Hotshots and initial attack crews had already worked non-stop to suppress the Whiskey Fire that had begun earlier on June 12th. Despite fatigue they were able to contain that fire and seven others that began by the lightning storm on the 21st before being required to take a mandatory rest break. As resources wore thin fire officials called for assistance from out of the area.  On June 28, Rich Harvey&#39;s Interagency Management Team (IMT) from the Great Basin (Nevada, Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming), coming off the Clover Fire in Lone Pine, California, was redirected to the Mendocino National Forest to take over the 23 fires burning in the Yolla Bolly Wilderness. However, the Great Basin is not the furthest distance from which help would come.
