This will be the last Swift Complex and Cedar Fire update issued by California Interagency Incident Management Team 2. Please refer to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest website for long-term information.

➡️ Cedar Fire Resources: 95 personnel

➡️Cedar Fire Overview: With rain occurring on the fire yesterday, firefighters are strengthening containment lines and patrolling, mopping up, gridding, and suppressing any remaining hotspots. Teams are collecting excess equipment and materials that are no longer required, which will be used to support active wildfire suppression efforts in other locations. Fire crews are focused on preventing the Cedar Fire from expanding beyond its existing boundaries and safeguarding the Trinity Pines community. Today, Tuesday, September 9, 2025, the command of the Cedar Fire will move to the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

➡️ Fire Weather: Precipitation is forecast for the fire area today and tomorrow, with approximately half an inch anticipated today. Thunderstorm activity may develop during afternoon and evening hours. Although the rainfall will not be sufficient to fully extinguish the fire, it will assist suppression efforts.

High temperatures will be in the low-60s with west-southwest winds at 10 mph gusting to 20 mph. Relative humidity will be around 60% during afternoon hours, recovering to 85-95% overnight.
