Along the western flank of the KNP Complex today, crews will patrol and mop up along strong containment lines. No challenges are anticipated. Along the eastern and southern flanks, the fire is expected to produce more smoke which will settle in the valleys and canyons. From Montecito Lodge to Stony Creek, containment line construction will progress. Aerial operations will mostly be focused on the area of the fire upslope from the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River. https://www.nps.gov/seki/learn/news/knp-complex-north-and-south-zones-update-october-14-2021.htm
