On Tuesday evening at 6 p.m., Nevada Team 2 will transition command of the Four Corners Fire to a Payette National Forest Type 4 Incident Commander. This will be the last daily update for the Four Corners Fire.

Nearly all the suppression repair work has been completed by firefighting crews and contractors over the last week. This includes repair to dozer and hand lines and backhauling of hoses and related equipment. The Incident Command Post, located at the southern end Lake Cascade, has already begun dismantling the fire camp. Logistics staff have ordered contractors to remove tents, and electrical and communications infrastructure. Food, fuel and hygiene support contractors will be discharged over the next few days.

Type 4 Incident Commander will deploy a Type 1 hand crew and two engines. They will monitor and patrol the last 4% of containment line in the Willow Creek drainage as well as the fire perimeter. Type 4 Incident Commander will likely remain in place until a true season ending event.

A warming trend is expected to deliver above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation for the early in the week. Temperatures will reach into the mid to high 70’s with relative humidity decreasing to single digits. Daily temperatures will drop into the 60s late in the week. Winds are expected to be light and variable all week.

Nevada Team 2 wants to thank all of our partners and associated agency representatives for their support and counsel during the fire’s duration. These include: the Payette National Forest, Valley, Gem and Adams counties, and Idaho Department of Lands. Special thanks goes to the communities of God’s Acres, French Creek and Campbell Creek as well as the residents of Cascade, Donnelly, McCall and surrounding areas for their generous support they have given to Nevada Team 2 and all personnel involved in the Four Corners Fire.

Closure Information: On Sept. 15, the closure perimeter was reduced to allow more access to areas in and around the fire. See map and description at https://InciWeb.nwcg.gov/incident/closures/8331/.
