From CAL FIRE BEU / CAL TRANS District 5 on FB: Heads up travelers through the Big Sur area. A one-day maintenance project is happening tomorrow along Highway 1, helping us keep the roadway safe and flowing smoothly. Work will take place at Torre Canyon where crews will be removing rock piles left from recent Timber Fire operations. This work will clear pullouts, restores proper drainage, and reduces the chance of rocks reaching the travel lane. Expect 10–15 minute delays between 9 a.m.–3 p.m.

From County of Monterey, CALTrans Dist 5 on FB: A quick reminder for travelers as we approach the weekend. A 10-mile stretch of Highway 1 in Big Sur remains closed to support Timber Fire operations. From 2 miles north of Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park to the Big Sur Bakery. Please avoid unnecessary travel in the area and use US 101 as an alternate route. We appreciate the hard work of first responders and stand with the Big Sur community during this challenging time.

Current Situation:
Yesterday’s clear skies allowed firefighters to do a good assessment on the fire. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) showed some remaining heat in the heavy vegetation above houses, and crews are targeting those areas today. The area around Castro Canyon showed the most remaining heat. Aircraft hit the fire hard yesterday, reinforcing and connecting lines that were not yet completed by firefighters.
Firefighters took advantage of the conditions to clean up remaining vegetation between the active fire edge and containment line using burning operations along Partington Road. Those operations were successful and were halted when the window of opportunity closed at around 3 p.m.
Dozer and handline are complete on the north side of the fire in the steep drainage to the Big Sur River. Rollout continues to occur there, but the fire did not progress much over the Pine Ridge Trail system yesterday.
The east side of the fire was more active yesterday with drier conditions. A considerable push of heavy equipment has been moved into place and fire lines from previous fires are being opened and reinforced.
Weather:
Similar weather to yesterday is predicted for today, with a cloudy start with some afternoon sunshine. Any morning clouds along ridges and east of the fire should erode quickly with winds increasing in the afternoon. A warming and drying trend is predicted through the weekend and into next week.

Timber Fire Update
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.
