Daily Update – 8:00 AM

Highlights: There was an increase in fire activity on the southern end of the Double Creek Fire on Monday afternoon. Fire activity remained relatively light on the Nebo, Sturgill, and Goat Mountain 2 Fires. In anticipation of extreme fire weather, Oregon Governor Kate Brown night invoked the Conflagration Act for the Sturgill Fire on Monday. The Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) ordered five additional task forces to support the fire.

Eagle Cap Wilderness Fires: There are four lightning caused fires within the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The previously reported Goat Mountain 1 Fire has merged with the Goat Mountain 2 Fire and will be reported as the Goat Mountain 2 Fire. The Nebo, Sturgill, and Goat Mountain 2 Fires are active and being managed to protect public and private infrastructure, while playing a natural role within designated Wilderness.

Total Acres: 667
Containment: 60%
Start Date: September 1, 2022
Cause: Lightning
Location: 21 miles west of Kalispell near Marion
Personnel: 234

Highlights: The Lemonade Fire has reached 60% containment. Today is the last shift for the Type 2 Northern Rockies Incident Management Team 3. A Tally Lake Ranger District Type 4 organization will take command of the fire on Wednesday, September 14, at 7:00 am. 

Today's update will be the final daily one for the fire unless significant events occur. The Lemonade Fire Inciweb page will continue to be updated (https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/8379/) with acreage, containment, and other pertinent information. You may also call the Tally Lake Ranger District at 406-758-5204 for information or questions after today. 

Operations: Fire managers continue to release resources to align with current firefighting needs. However, some crews and heavy equipment remain. Work continues as firefighters hot spot, cool the fire's edge, mitigate hazard trees, and begin pulling hose and equipment no longer needed.

Yesterday there was a spot fire across the fireline on the western perimeter. Firefighters caught it at less than an acre, and crews will further secure it today. More favorable southwest winds are expected.

Firefighters continue to pull hoses and pumps no longer needed along the south side. However, in other areas of the fire, crews are still using water equipment to mop up and cool the fire's edge. It will be removed as the work is completed. 

Crews are still mopping up into the perimeter, and as the depth increases, so will the containment percentage. Thick, heavy fuels remain a challenge, but a combination of crew and equipment resources have created access to the fire in many areas to conduct this work. 

The southeast side remains quiet with no fire activity. 

Weather: The high temperature will be around 67-72 degrees in the fire area, with 27-32% relative humidity. Winds will be southwest 6-10 with gusts to 14 mph. Smoke and cloud cover will continue to keep temperatures cooler. Additionally, there are chances of rain in the forecast. Next week brings chances of below-average temperatures and above-average precipitation. 

Temporary Flight Restrictions:  A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in place over the fire area through Wednesday, September 14.

Evacuations and Closures:  Currently, there are no evacuations or closures. Roads and trails previously closed due to the fire are now open.

Smoke: Visit fire.airnow.gov/ for wildfire smoke information and deq.mt.gov/air/Programs/airquality for Montana Department of Environmental Quality air quality information.

Total Acres: 667
Containment: 45%
Start Date: September 1, 2022
Cause: Lightning
Location: 21 miles west of Kalispell near Marion
Personnel: 250  

Highlights: The Lemonade Fire has reached 45% containment, and much progress has been made. Combined with reduced fire activity and favorable weather, the Flathead National Forest and fire managers have decided to transition to a smaller fire management organization. The Type 2 Northern Rockies Incident Management Team 3 will turn the fire over to a Tally Lake Ranger District Type 4 organization on Wednesday, September 14, at 7:00 am. Over the next few days, fire managers will begin strategically releasing resources to align with current firefighting needs. However, work continues as crews hot spot, cool the fire's edge, mitigate hazard trees, and begin pulling hose and equipment no longer needed.

Operations: Firefighters are patrolling the southeast side, and there is currently no fire activity in that area. 

Crews have completed a saw line and are using water and other tactics to cool the fire's edge on the northeast side. Several small spot fires occurred near the northernmost point the past few days; however, these spots are within the heavy equipment line, and crews have put them out. Firefighters will continue to grid the area to ensure they haven't missed any hot spots. 

On the northwest side, crews have cooled the fire's edge at least 15 feet into its interior and will continue to go further where it makes sense. 

Heavy fuels make it challenging to fight the fire directly on the southwest point. Instead, heavy equipment cleared some of these fuels to create a buffer between the fire and line. 

The southern perimeter has shown minimal fire activity. Crews will begin backhauling hoses, pumps, and other equipment where it is no longer needed. Some hazard tree removal will continue on the southwest side.

Weather: Temperatures will be 68-73 degrees in the fire area, with 21-26% relative humidity. Winds will be north to northeast 5-10 with gusts to 15 mph. Yesterday smoke coming into the area from other fires kept temperatures cooler than expected. Today, a combination of smoke and clouds will limit heating. A few sprinkles are possible Monday afternoon, and a light rain is possible Monday night.

Temporary Flight Restrictions:  A temporary flight restriction is in place over the fire area, including the use of drones. Remember, if you fly, we can't. 

Evacuations:  Currently, there are no evacuations; however, one property is under pre-evacuation notice.

Closures: Currently, there are no closures. Roads and trails that were previously closed are now open.

Smoke: Visit fire.airnow.gov/ for wildfire smoke information and deq.mt.gov/air/Programs/airquality for Montana Department of Environmental Quality air quality information.

Total Acres: 667
Containment: 30%
Start Date: September 1, 2022
Cause: Lightning
Location: 21 miles west of Kalispell near Marion
Personnel: 254

Highlights: The Lemonade Fire has reached 30% containment, with crews continuing to look for areas to fight the fire directly. Firefighters have begun to mop up, or actively cool, remaining heat on the fire’s edge along many places around the perimeter.  

Operations: The northeast point of the fire was most active yesterday. Helicopters made water drops while crews constructed handline directly on the fire’s edge. The fire stayed within the indirect heavy equipment line previously built. Today firefighters will seek additional opportunities to go direct in that area. 

Crews are doing mop-up from the southwestern point to the middle of the south perimeter. A felling module continues with hazard tree removal to safely allow firefighters to access the fire’s edge. The southeast corner is primarily in patrol status, as crews look for hot spots and mop up where necessary. Firefighters are also hot spotting and mopping up in other areas of the fire on the east and west perimeters.

Weather and Fire Behavior: Temperatures will be 77-82 degrees in the fire area, with 14-19% relative humidity. Winds will be southwest 10-14 with gusts to 18 mph. The fire was most active on the northeast point yesterday, where intense heat remains. There is potential for new spot fires in this area if the southwest winds push embers to the northeast. Moderate or minimal fire behavior is expected around most of the rest of the fire except in places on the south where heat still exists in heavy dead and down material.

Temporary Flight Restrictions:  A temporary flight restriction is in place over the fire area, including the use of drones. Remember, if you fly, we can't. 

Evacuations:  Currently, there are no evacuations; however, one property is under pre-evacuation notice.

Closures: Currently, there are no closures.

Total Acres: 660
Containment: 15%
Start Date: September 1, 2022
Cause: Lightning
Location: 21 miles west of Kalispell near Marion
Personnel: 270  
 
Highlights: Griffin Creek Road (NFS #538) and Forest Service Trails 210, 211, and 287 are now accessible to the public; however, please avoid unnecessary travel on Griffin Creek Road as there are still fire crews and heavy equipment working in the area. If you use the road, please drive slowly, and watch out for fire personnel.  

Operations: An initial fireline is complete around the perimeter of the fire including both handline and machine line. Crews will begin improving and securing the firelines and looking for contingency lines to construct utilizing the heavy equipment. Firefighters will continue to look for hot spots around the fire and identify areas where mop-up can begin. In places on the southern side, crews are mitigating hazard trees so firefighters, skidgens, and engines can safely access the fire's edge. Crews are laying hoses to use water to help mop up and cool the fire. 

Weather and Fire Behavior: Today, temperatures will be warmer at 70-75 degrees in the fire area, with 16-21% relative humidity. Winds will be southeast to south 6-8 with gusts to 12 mph. With this wind shift, the most significant area of concern will be on the northeast side, where intense heat remains. Single tree and small group tree torching will continue to occur in areas of heavy dead and down. Plantations of timber will still be areas of much-reduced fire behavior due to limited ground fuels and higher live fuel moisture.

Temporary Flight Restrictions:  A temporary flight restriction is in place over the fire area, including the use of drones. Remember, if you fly, we can't. 

Evacuations:  Currently, there are no evacuations; however, one property is under pre-evacuation notice.

Closures: Currently, there are no closures.
