Northwest Incident Management Team 8 (NWIMT8) would like to take this opportunity to thank the community, cooperators, and firefighters for the unwavering support during our management of the Newell Road Fire. This will be the last fire update from the NWIMT8.
Fire Update: The final shift focus was on suppression repair work addressing dozer lines, downed fences, and monitoring/patrol activities. All fire personnel deployed out of Goldendale today. Fire managers will continue to demobilize resources throughout the day.
Tomorrow’s planned activity: NWIMT8 will return management of the fire to local fire and agency resources at 6:00 AM. Each remaining agency will provide their own resources for their assigned section of the fire, which will include patrolling and monitoring. Some smoke will likely remain visible, but if you see active fire near the control lines in the coming days, call 911 or the area non-emergency line 509-773-4545 and local dispatchers will direct those calls as needed – IMT8 fire information phone lines will be disconnected at 8 PM tonight, and future Facebook and email communications will be distributed through the Klickitat DEM Facebook and website.
