Publication Type: Announcement - 10/28/2024 - 08:11
Daily Update: October 28, 2024
Red Rock Fire
Operations:
With a minimal change in fire activity staffing on the Red Rock Fire has begun to wind down operations. Incoming weather will further mediate already low fire activity and by tomorrow there will be limited resources on the Red Rock Fire. Due to this drawdown this will be the last daily update for the Red Rock Fire. Information will still be posted on the fire’s InciWeb page and on the Salmon-Challis' Facebook page.
Additional Information:
Great Basin Team 7 will be transferring command of the Red Rock Fire back to the Salmon-Challis National Forest at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
Over the next several days there is an extremely low potential of any fire behavior beyond smoldering due to low temperatures, high relative humidity and rain/snow accumulation. Smoldering of heavy dead and down, within the fire perimeter, is still possible where fuels remain sheltered from precipitation.
Weather:
Cloudy with rain and snow. Snow level lowering to 5700ft elevation. In the fire area, high temperatures will be from 29 to 45 degrees with ridge winds southwest 2 to 7 mph and by 12:00 pm becoming west 8 to 14 mph gusts to 22 mph.
The Red Rock Closure Order, Number: 04-13-24-027 has been terminated. The roads and trails and area within the closure are now open, including the fire footprint. Please be careful when entering recent fire areas.
