Increased Fire Activity 09-01-2024
Fish Creek Fire
Publication Type: Announcement - 09/01/2024 - 13:10
Today's weather is bringing increased fire activity on the Fish Creek Fire.
You may have noticed the column of smoke coming from the western flank of the fire. Because we've had several days of warm, dry weather, the fire is spreading through areas of heavy timber where the wind and slope align with burnable fuels. Firefighters are seeing tree torching and downwind spotting towards the west and southwest.
Firefighters are prepared for this level of fire activity and continue to work on indirect control lines along the Deception and Flagstaff Roads as part of the confine/point protection strategy.
Although the amount of smoke from the fire is increasing, the atmospheric mixing height is higher today which will reduce the smoke impacts at ground level.
