The Nevada Team 3 Incident Management Team will be transferring command of the Bowles Creek fire to the Bitterroot and Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forests on September 4th. All future updates will be posted to the Forest Facebook pages and the Inciweb site.  Frequency of updates will be dictated by fire activity and/or changes to operations and closures.

Completion of fire management objectives has increased to 37%. The fire danger is below normal due to recent rains and predicted weather. Firefighters are focusing on suppression repair to mitigate adverse resource effects resulting from fire suppression activities. Firefighters will continue to patrol and monitor existing fire line and fire perimeter. Active fire growth is diminishing, but with a future drying trend, increased smoke may be visible at times. Hot spots within the fire’s perimeter will continue to smolder until extinguished naturally by repeated rain and snow.
