Detailed Fire Maps of the Redwood Complex, the Sulpher Fire, the Central LNU Complex, and the Southern LNU Complex
From the moment the first flames flickered to life on October 8 until today, one of the questions we’ve most wanted answered is “Where? Where are the fires?”
Today, we have some answers. Below are Cal Fire maps of the fires that began on October 8. The names are the Point, the Redwood Complex, the Southern LNU Complex, the Wind Complex, and the Central LNU Complex.
These are the most recent maps available (Timestamps can be found in the corners of the PDF’s).
Located at the bottom of this post are thumbnails of the detailed PDF maps. In order to see the PDF’s full size, click the thumbnail and the PDF will open in your browser (assuming your computer hasn’t blocked popups from opening). It may take a few seconds for the maps to load, so give it some time.
Click on the thumbnail images of each map to be taken to a pdf. Usually, in the lower right-hand corner of each expanded map, you can see the time and date that the information to create each map was collected.

‘When the fire’s out, I hope you add it to your old Lake County Compiled map that was here:
Are these files still accessible? I just had the link stored still.
Thanks again,
Mark
I love that Google link. All the other fires can be accessed that way. I think the links are all still accessible.
do you know where the fire is at now? we live just off the top of the grade and dont know anything. Very scary
This is our most recent information.
does the redwood complex map not currently open to show details? it gives the “404: page not found” message when i click..
The Redwood Complex map has been working. There was a problem with the Southern LNU but that has been fixed.
Pay it Forward Humboldt has a list of items needed and drop off locations posted on their Facebook page. Please check them out do what you can to support our southern neighbors. Scary not knowing where it’s going next so be prepared!!
We need to know the state of the fire coming down Pine Mountain into the Southeastern part of Willits. It threatens many homes, the Howard Forest , the Howard Hospital, and the Town of Willits. It is 9:15 PM on Weds. October 11. Please update us!!!!!
What does LNU complex mean?
Thank you
The Lake Napa Unit of Cal Fire is in charge. Ours in Humboldt is called HUU and I’m not actually sure what that stands for –Humboldt …Unit but what that first U stands for is beyond me.
HUU is Humboldt-Del Norte Unit of CAL FIRE. For a comprehensive list of acronyms used by Cal Fire go to this website: http://www.wildlandfire.com/docs/acronyms.htm.
