Summary
The Seven Cabins Fire is gaining ground with 49% containment, having scorched over 28,900 acres. Over a thousand firefighters, backed by engines, helicopters, and heavy equipment, are securing the perimeter—especially around Forest Roads 57 and 536. Northern zones are now safe as suppression efforts shift to hot spots, rehabilitating burned land, and packing out gear. Some crews are being pulled, but a team remains on standby after thunderstorms sparked concern. While recent rain brought moisture, warmer, drier weather and higher winds loom for the weekend, likely causing scattered smoke near the fire. A forest closure and Stage One restrictions remain in place, and the SET evacuation zone has expanded to Padilla Ranch and eastward. Residents in these zones must stay alert and ready to evacuate. Smoke has eased, but crews and heavy machinery are still active—public caution is vital. The temporary flight restriction over the fire zone stays in effect to protect aerial operations.
