9/16/22 Tenmile Fire Update

Tenmile
Publication Type: News -

Today, fire crews will begin chipping vegetation debris that was removed along the 325 Road and from surrounding areas. Crews continue to make great progress on constructing containment lines around the Tenmile Fire, reducing the potential of fire impacting the communities of Burgdorf, Secesh, and Warren. The Payette National Forest closure has been modified to include areas northwest of the fire along the 318 Road to increase firefighter safety, as crews continue to construct containment lines north of the fire, expanding onto Bureau of Land Management managed lands.Yesterday’s weather was warmer and drier than past days and the lower risk of showers and thunderstorms continues into today. Intermittent precipitation is expected as storm fronts move in and out of the area throughout the weekend. Large fuels continue to remain dry and maintain heat, despite the recent rain. Fire activity continues to creep and smolder with some isolated torching in timber fuels, with minimal movement in the 2000 Burgdorf Junction Fire scar.  

Great Basin Team 4 is continuing to develop a long-term contingency plan to address potential future threats to critical values, like private property, recreation, and communication facilities, in the event of increased fire activity if weather patterns show signs of warming. Air Quality:  
Due to the recent precipitation in the area and decreased fire behavior, air quality has shifted to the good category. However, smoke may remain in areas near the fire. Visit airnow.gov for more information. Closure:
For the safety of firefighters and the public, two emergency fire area closure orders are in effect for the Tenmile Fire: one for the Payette National Forest and one for the Bureau of Land Management, Cottonwood Field Office. The closure orders, including a full description of the trails, roads, and areas closed, are available at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/closures/8401/.
