The Complex Incident Management Team 3, cooperators, and agency administrators are working closely using an Incident Strategic Alignment Process to evaluate the strategic plan and firefighting tactics daily. The ISAP process analyzes critical values at risk, strategy and strategic actions, risk to responders and the probability of success. Working together through this process ensures an alignment of management decisions and communications. Learn more about the ISAP process through the ISAP story map at https://bit.ly/45Rmp9q.

The Oak Ridge Fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy utilizing a combination of tactics: airtankers dropping retardant and helicopters dropping water to slow the fire spread, and constructing hand and dozer lines along the fire edge where it is safe. When direct access is not possible, indirect fire lines are constructed strategically where there is the highest probability of success in holding the fire and where the level of risks are commensurate with the threat to values at risk.Current Situation
