On the southeast side, crews are constructing both direct and contingency fire lines while improving Sierra Madre Road. On the southwest side, firefighters are developing a contingency plan from Buckhorn Ridge to Sisquoc and reinforcing existing lines, while also mopping up interior hot spots.

Overall, firefighters are focused on maintaining and enhancing containment lines, using aircraft to cool hot spots in steep terrain, and protecting communities, infrastructure, and critical values at risk.

Weather: Hot and dry conditions will persist across the incident today. Afternoon temperatures will climb into the 90s to 102 while humidity drops into the teens, down to the single digits. Southwesterly, upcanyon winds can be expected this afternoon with gusts around 20 MPH. Hot and dry conditions will continue into early next week. Although no significant wind events are expected, the hot and dry conditions will continue to produce very elevated fire weather conditions.

Morning update from InciWeb
Acres Burned: 104,402 / Containment: 21%

Current Situation: The Gifford Fire advanced into the rugged Garcia Wilderness and is now threatening the Machesna Mountain Wilderness, fueled by two large fire columns observed yesterday afternoon. Overnight, crews worked to reinforce control lines stretching from Avenales Ranch Road and the Salinas River to Hi Mountain Road and the Huasna River, with the goal of preventing the fire from spreading beyond the Garcia Wilderness.

On the northeast corner between Pelados Road and Pilitas Mountain, crews successfully contained the fire growth from yesterday, located south of the major power transmission line. However, a new slopover north of the line has become a top priority today to prevent the fire from spreading into the Machesna Wilderness. Dozer and hand crews will be connecting new control lines from the Madre Fire burn scar to the Los Machos Hills while assessing any threats to key facilities.

In the San Rafael Wilderness to the south, crews continue to advance handline construction, tying into existing control lines and are supported by aircraft with water drops.
