"The impact of the fire has been revealed, and the long-term effects on the affected area are significant," officials said in an update.
"If this crisis is not addressed properly, the potential consequences could be severe, due to the heavy rains forecast this week," Forest Service officials said in a news release on Monday.
More than 500 firefighters battled the blaze at its peak as the fire marched through steep, rugged terrain.
The Shoe Fire was one of four burning in California and the largest of two burning in Northern California.
