| Projected Incident Activity |
12 hours: Extreme fire behavior and rapid rates of spread to the south long and short range spotting. Surrounding terrain is conducive for rapid spread, combined with dry fuels. ERCs are nearing record, high levels as well as fuel moistures nearing extreme lows. 48 hours: Continued heat wave will enable rapid spread rates and spotting potential. Priorities will be to keep the fire from crossing the John Day river to SOUTHEAST and to stop the spread to the SOUTH into the town of MONUMENT.
