Four Corners Fire -- August 24 Update

Four Corners Fire
Publication Type: News 08/25/2022

The Four Corners Fire, started by a lightning strike on August 13, is now at 8,361 acres. Firefighters’ structure protection measures in the God’s Acres, French Creek, and Campbell Creek areas continue, and some crews are being moved from preparation work to more active fire containment actions.  Residents of the God’s Acres and French Creek areas are still under evacuation until fire managers and the Valley County Sheriff’s Office are confident the fire will not continue to spread east and residents can return to their homes safely.  The status of evacuations and closures is continuously monitored based on current and expected fire activity.

Yesterday afternoon, planes dropped retardant on the northwest section of the fire to aid ground crews in their efforts to construct fireline. The southernmost part of the current fire perimeter, in the Wilson Peak area, was exhibiting the most activity yesterday as the fire moved into insect-killed trees.   

Firefighting hand crews worked from the top and bottom of the Campbell Creek Trail, one of the existing features that is being used as an existing feature to contain the fire on the southwest side. Over the past several days, aerial resources dropped water near the trail to make fireline construction more successful.

Today’s weather is expected to be warm and dry with isolated thunderstorms possible. Winds are expected to be light, and fire managers anticipate moderate fire activity.  Air quality is being monitored and forecast in the Four Corners Fire vicinity. Specific information about local smoke levels, forecasts, and possible health impacts is available at https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/cc0ac676/.

Boaters on Lake Cascade should be aware that water scooping planes and helicopters are using the lake to draw water. Additionally, use caution along Lakeshore Drive due to increased fire traffic in the area.

Evacuation Information:  Residences in God’s Acres and French Creek are under evacuation status (Go).  The Campbell Creek area is under pre-evacuation notice (Set).  Others in the vicinity are encouraged to consider evacuation preparations (Ready).  Please visit https://www.wildlandfirersg.org/ for information on packing and preparing for evacuations.  For more information on evacuations and local support, call the Valley County Sheriff's Office at 208.382.5160.

Closure Information:  The Payette and Boise National Forests have enacted a closure area to protect the public and firefighters.  The complete closure order – including a full description of the trails, roads, and areas closed and an accompanying map – is available at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/closures/8331/.
