Información General: Esta será la ultima actualización con el equipo del noroeste 8 (NWIMT8 en inglés) con el comandante Kevin Stock.  Dos organizaciones locales del tipo 3 tomaran el cargo el jueves 10 de octubre a las 7 am.  El comandante Jonah Gladney asumira la administración de las tierras del bosque nacional Willamette y de la Gerencia de Tierras Publicas dentro del incendio Beachie Creek.  El comandante Jeremy Goers asumirá la administración las tierras del bosque nacional Mt. Hood y de la Gerencia de Tierras Publicas dentro del incendio Riverside.  Todas las tierras del estado y privadas bajo la protección del Departamento Forestal de Oregón regresaran a ser administradas por el distrito del norte de Cascade. 

 

Al equipo del noroeste 8 le gustaría tomar la oportunidad para agradecer a la comunidad, cooperadores, empleados de las agencias y bomberos por su apoyo durante su mando de los incendios Riverside y Beachie Creek.

 

El trabajo en los dos incendios Beachie and Riverside continua a ser la reparación de las líneas del incendio, monitoreo y sofocar áreas calientes.  El viento reciente continúa debilitando arboles aumentando el peligro de que se caigan.  Hay mucho interés en el área del incendio, pero esta área se encuentra cerrada lo que es necesario para la seguridad de los bomberos y el mismo público.  Las calles mojadas crean condiciones inseguras para todos.

 

La autopista 22 ya esta abierta con reducción de velocidad.  El trabajo de mitigación continua a si que espere paradas frecuentes.

 

Clima y Comportamiento del Fuego: Se espera leve lluvia y viento el día de hoy que abrirá el paso a un sistema de alta presión y clima estacional. Las temperaturas subirán y el viento disminuyera en los próximos días y creara mejores condiciones en el área del incendio para terminar las reparaciones necesitadas.  La actividad del fuego será limitada por el clima a movimiento lento y poco humo.  Las condiciones mojadas se prestan a situaciones peligrosas y difíciles para el trabajo que los bomberos necesitan hacer. 

 

Evacuaciones:  La información de evacuación del condado de Marion está disponible en  https://www.co.marion.or.us/Alerts?AlertId=83  o llamando al 503-588-5032.

Containment: 72%

Start Date: September 8, 2020
Cause: Human

 

General Information: This will be the last update from Northwest Incident Management Team 8 (NWIMT8), with Incident Commander Kevin Stock.  Two local Type 3 organizations will assume management on Thursday 10/15, at 7:00 am in the morning.  Incident Commander Jonah Gladney will assume management of the Willamette National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands of the Beachie Creek Fire.  Incident Commander Jeremy Goers will assume management of the Mt. Hood National Forest and Bureau of Land Management lands of the Riverside Fire.  All State and private lands protected by Oregon Department of Forestry will return to the North Cascade District for management. 

NWIMT8 would like to take this opportunity to say “thank you” to the communities, cooperators, agency staff and firefighters for the unwavering support during our management of the Riverside and Beachie Creek Fires.

Field work on both the Beachie and Riverside Fires continues to be repairing of fire lines, patrolling and mop-up when conditions allow.   Recent winds and rains can weaken trees, increasing the danger of them falling. There is a high interest from the public to use much of the fire area, but area closures are in place, which is necessary for the safety of firefighters and the public. Wet roads create unsafe driving and working conditions for all.

State Hwy 22 is now open, with reduced speed limits. Expect intermittent stops as mitigation work continues.

Weather and Fire Behavior:  Light showers and winds are expected again today and will give way to higher pressure and more seasonal weather.  Temperatures will rise and winds will subside over the next few days creating better conditions for firefighters to access the fire area and complete suppression repair work. The recent wet weather will keep fire behavior to limited creeping and smoldering.  Wet conditions can make it difficult and unsafe for firefighters to continue fire suppression repair work. 

Evacuations: Current evacuation information for: Marion County is available at www.co.marion.or.us/Alerts?AlertId=83 or by calling 503-588-5032, and for Linn County is available at www.linnsheriff.org/fire_live_updates_sept_2020/ or by calling 541-812-2260.

Closures:Multiple forest and area closures remain in effect for the safety of firefighters and the public.  For the most up to date information, see the following websites:
