11/8/2020 Update: there was minimal activity on the CalWood Fire today. Two on-the-ground firefighters accessed a steep section of the north side of the fire near Central Gulch where smoke was observed late in the shift. With the assistance of 13 bucket drops from a helicopter, they were able to extinguish this hot spot. No other heat was detected along the fireline today. An excavator completed suppression repair work along the south side of the fire. Cooler weather with up to an inch of snow is expected tomorrow. Firefighters plan to patrol and monitor the fire and plan to conduct an infrared flight later this week after the area has received precipitation.
