CURRENT SITUATION:
Acres: 4545 Containment: 12% Resources Assigned: 1,811
CURRENT SITUATION:
Favorable weather conditions significantly improved visibility on the west side of the Timber Fire today, allowing crews to conduct a visual assessment of the area.
There was increased fire activity, and clear conditions allowed air and ground resources to engage. Fire crews reinforced retardant lines above structures along Partington Road, extending north toward Ventana to fortify primary containment and structure defense operations.
On the northern flank, the fire experienced movement across the Pine Ridge Trail system toward the Big Sur River. Heavy helicopters provided critical aerial support, targeting active hotspots and reinforcing indirect containment lines.
Along the eastern perimeter, the fire continues a slow, backing movement downhill toward the drainage. Ground crews are constructing a combination of direct and indirect containment lines where accessible. Extreme, rugged terrain continues to limit access along the eastern edge; however, crews are safely maneuvering through the area, seizing opportunities to build line while actively monitoring fire behavior.
WEATHER:
The marine layer is expected to continue covering the area through Saturday in the lower elevations. A warming and drying trend is forecasted above the marine layer, leading to rising temperatures, lowering humidity, and increasing fire activity above the marine layer.
CLOSURES: Highway 1 remains closed for public and firefighter safety. The northern closure is at mile marker 45.1 near the Big Sur Bakery, and the southern closure is near mile marker 37 at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.

Hey Kate, maybe you know who to contact to inform that the Big Sur Bakery no longer exists and hasn’t for a year and a half.
It would be the PIO for Cal Fire and/or for USFS. They were saying to Loma Vista. I don’t know why they changed it. Maybe Hillary requested?
You’d think Post Office would be the first go to since, ya know, government entities and whatnot 🤷♂️
