Shasta-Trinity Lightning Complex:
A total of 77,510 acres have burned in this complex of fires.
The cost increased by $100,000 Sunday bringing the total to $34.4
million.
Residents in the Shasta area remained under evacuation Sunday
as they had been since earlier in the week. But residents in French
Gulch were allowed home Sunday afternoon, as were residents in
Ono threatened by the Moon Fire.
The Motion Fire, at 20,116 acres and 50 percent contained, continued
to threaten homes north of Highway 299 almost to Shasta Dam. Still
under evacuation were Granite Drive, Benson Drive, Rock Creek and
Whiskey Creek roads.
French Gulch residents living on Cline Gulch, American Mine, Drunken
Gulch, East Fork and Trinity Mountain roads were allowed back in.
The Moon Fire has burned 28,823 acres and is 75 percent contained.
Evacuations for all residents threatened by the Moon Fire were
lifted on Sunday.
Sunday's controlled burns on the Motion Fire, from the Benson
Drive area along Highway 299 to the Whiskey Creek inlet, successfully
cleared a much-needed firebreak.
The burning operation will continue today.

acres and 44 percent contained Sunday. The 6,669-acre Cedar Fire
