Slater and Devil Fire update for September 10, 2020, 8 p.m.

HAPPY CAMP, CALIFORNIA— The fire was active today, despite lower winds and a heavy smoke inversion that sat over the fire through most of the day. On the California side, crews focused on mopping up around structures. They also worked on constructing containment lines behind the airport in Happy Camp to better protect the community. While the inversion made tracking the fire movement difficult, reduced fire activity on the southwestern side of the fire allowed mandatory evacuations in Gasquet to be lessened to evacuation warnings.

On the Oregon side, structure protection continued in the communities of O’ Brien, Takilma, Browntown, and Cave Junction. Crews worked to put in contingency lines running northeast of O’Brien toward Holland to protect structures in the area and scouted for other opportunities.

The fire management team cautions that these fires may cause some driving hazards, including reduced visibility. The Team requests that local drivers reduce speed and watch for increased fire traffic on area roads.

The dry and unstable weather conditions in the fire area today are predicted to move out of the area, resulting in a more normal westerly flow. Relative humidity is expected to increase slightly over the next few days.

A heat-detection flight yesterday showed a second fire burning east of the Slater Fire, north of Upper Devil’s Peak on the Klamath National Forest. Estimated at 2000 acres this evening, the Devil Fire is currently unstaffed and uncontained. The cause of the fire is currently unknown.

With a record number of fires across the West, resources are stretched thin nationally. This resource shortage forces the incoming team to triage, and to develop a fire suppression strategy with what limited resources are available. Firefighters have been working non-stop since initial attack, with the available resources. Air resources will be utilized for reconnaissance and fire suppression as smoke and visibility permit.  

Due to extreme fire danger, all National Forests in California have been closed from Septemebr 9 through 14, 2020. More details on these closure orders, along with fire restrictions orders, can be found on National Forest websites and on InciWeb.

Highway 199 remains closed from O’Brien south almost to Gasquet.

EVACUATION ORDERS remain in effect for Happy Camp and Seiad Valley in California. In Oregon, Level 3 orders are in effect in the O'Brien and Takilma areas, Dick George Road (including most of Holland Loop) and Takilma Road areas, Brown Road, O'Brien and all areas south of Brown Road O'Brien.

EVACUATION are in effect for Gasquet in California and Level 2 orders are in effect south of Kerby and Cave Junction areas in Oregon.

HAPPY CAMP, CALIFORNIA—The Slater Fire started the night of September 7, near Slater Butte Fire Lookout, on the Klamath National Forest. California Incident Management Team 10 assumed command of the incident at 6 a.m. today. This fire has burned 120,000 acres to date.

Fire-weather conditions today are expected to be similar to the past few days. Hot temperatures with dry unstable air and record low fuel moistures could result in more extreme fire behavior, fire spread in all directions, and plume-dominated fire activity.

 Point protection of structures in threatened communities of Happy Camp, O Brien, Takilma, Cave Junction, and Gasquet remains the top priority for the Team. Hot weather, drought-stressed, dry fuels and extreme fire behavior resulted in power outages, road closures, and evacuations for impacted communities on both sides of the California-Oregon border.

 With a record number of fires across the West, resources are stretched thin nationally. This resource shortage forces the incoming team to triage, and to develop a fire suppression strategy with what limited resources are available. Firefighters have been working non-stop since initial attack, employing what few resources they have. Air resources will be utilized for reconnaissance and fire suppression as smoke and visibility permit.

 A heat-detection flight yesterday showed a second fire burning east of the Slater Fire. Estimated at 500 acres as of this morning, the Devils Fire is currently unstaffed and uncontained. Cause of the fire is currently unknown, though boots-on-the-ground confirmed the fire is burning north of Upper Devil’s Peak. Team 10 will also assume command of this fire.

 These two fires—burning in steep, rugged country—have prompted widespread evacuations. The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office issued mandatory evacuations along Highway 96 in the Klamath River corridor. Del Norte County evacuated the town of Gasquet and put surrounding areas on notice that they should be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Josephine County took similar precautions for the Illinois Valley area in Oregon. Due to resource shortages, it is especially important that residents heed evacuation orders and advisories, fire managers say.

 Additionally, Forest restrictions are in effect across Klamath National Forest, Six Rivers National Forest, and Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. More information on these closures can be found on Inciweb.

 The fire management team cautions that these fires may cause some driving hazards, including reduced visibility. The Team requests that local drivers reduce speed and watch for increased fire traffic on area roads.

BRATTAIN FIRE UPDATE

September 26, 2020 @ 12:00 PM

Overview:

A local incident management team took command of Brattain Fire yesterday and will be focusing their efforts on final mop up and fire suppression repair/rehabilitation. Conditions were breezy with cooler temps and lower afternoon humidity. Grader work continued on School House Road and 3510, and divisions focused heavily on patrolling and scouting additional repair work.  

Today, the fire will continue smoldering, and crews will continue to mop-up and patrol lines in all divisions. Grading along 3510 will continue. The suppression repair group is working with the host unit to identify and prioritize the needed work and the resources and equipment needed to best accomplish this task. Another front will arrive over the fire area, bringing cooler temperatures and higher humidity which will allow fire activity to remain minimal. A long-duration dry and very warm pattern returns Sunday into late next week.

Fire Suppression Repair/Rehabilitation:

Wildfires cause complex problems from water quality, loss of vegetation and soil stability, and loss of habitat and cultural resources. Identifying post-wildfire threats to human life and safety, property and critical natural and cultural resources is a top priority for public land managers. Restoring pre-fire conditions is not always possible, but the primary goal of suppression repair is to minimize long-term impacts caused by personnel and equipment over the course of fire suppression activities.

Already, crews and special resource teams on the Brattain Fire are focusing on constructing water bars to ensure proper drainage, grading roads and firelines to minimize impacts to vehicles, removing snags and woody debris and overhead hazards, closing gates and reconstructing fence rows, and redistributing slash created during handline construction.

Minimizing the possibility of transmittal of invasive/noxious species is also a top priority for public land managers during fire suppression rehabilitation. Mobile wash stations were deployed into the Brattain Fire perimeter to clean equipment and vehicles upon exit. Pressure washing of tire treads, tracks and under carriages reduces the threat of spreading noxious weeds into exposed areas of bare mineral soil. At camp, a field wash station was established to ensure all passenger vehicles were weed-washed upon demobilization.  

Evacuations:

The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has lifted all evacuations as of 1000 a.m. Saturday, September 26.

Area residents should sign up for Lake County Alerts, a mass notification system that provides residents with both emergency and non-emergency notifications. Sign up at https://public.alertsense.com/SignUp/?regionid=1535.

Forest Closure:

From Forest Road 29 southeast to Forest Road 3510 and the 28 Road east, all National Forest System lands and facilities are closed per Forest Closure Order 06-02-03-20-03. Forest Road 3315 is closed.

Summary:

The Brattain fire started on September 7, 2020, on the Paisley Ranger District of the Fremont-Winema National Forest. Firefighters have battled winds, extremely dry conditions and shortages of firefighting resources.

BRATTAIN FIRE UPDATE

September 25, 2020 @ 9 AM

Map updates will be provided if perimeter lines or access roads change. The Brattain Fire map is current as of the September 23 update, but is still attached for reference.

Yesterday:

Fire behavior remained minimal, with mop up and suppression repair/rehabilitation activities remaining a top priority. Haze was visible from the northwest corner where there is heavy down and dead fuel loading that continues to burn in the interior. Gusty winds pushed through early but then died down throughout the day. Cooler temperatures and higher humidity helped speed up the cooling process inside the fire perimeter. Road graders worked on the 3360 road today to completion. Safety was top priority during the transition/shadow day with the incoming incident management team, as they became acclimated to objectives, conditions, terrain, routes, concerns and fire activity.

Today:

Windy and gusty today with a small chance of rain and cooler temps in the forecast through tomorrow. Divisional merges as containment grows and larger team resources are demobilized. A new local incident management team takes command of Brattain Fire today, and will be focusing their efforts on fire suppression repair and rehabilitation.

Fire Suppression Repair/Rehabilitation:

Beginning Saturday, September 26, daily updates will be focused on forest suppression repair/rehabilitation activities for the public lands within the Brattain Fire area. Public land wildfire suppression repair activities include, but are not limited to, surface water/erosion, resource protection, and maintenance of site productivity. Burned area rehabilitation is critical to minimizing long-term impacts to the natural environment caused by personnel and equipment over the course of fire suppression activities. It is not always possible to return to pre-fire conditions, so long-term goals are to prepare the land for recovery, provide protection from erosive conditions, and to prevent additional human impacts that are likely to result from fire suppression activities. Besides resource management, repair activities are critical to ensure public safety, from repairing roads to falling hazard trees weakened by fire. Be sure to keep following us on social media as we dive deeper into specific methods of repair/rehab, especially from the Brattain Fire.

Evacuations:

Area residents should sign up for Lake County Alerts, a mass notification system that provides residents with both emergency and non-emergency notifications.

Sign up at https://public.alertsense.com/SignUp/?regionid=1535. Only one evacuation currently remains. The Lake County Sheriff’s Office has issued the following evacuation notice:

BRATTAIN FIRE UPDATE

September 22, 2020 @ 10 AM

Yesterday:

Fire activity decreased even more yesterday, with containment lines holding well and only interior portions of the fire showing any activity. Mop up activities and line patrols remained a priority. The northwest corner, which is littered with heavy down and dead fuel loading, is still smoldering but is not a threat. The eastern side of the fire remained quiet, but patrols are keeping a close eye on the perimeter regardless.  The noticeable increase in hazy conditions was caused by smoke from the California wildfires.

Today:

Active perimeter patrolling will remain a priority, and work will continue on contingency lines, hot spots and mopping up. Rehabilitation and repair planning will continue.  Two graders will be maintaining roads that access the fire to allow safe access for fire equipment. Collaboration has begun between private landowners and agency land managers regarding future rehabilitation activities on private lands. Gusty winds out of the southwest are expected through Wednesday. However, higher dewpoints, cooler temps, and some clouds will help moderate any fire behavior. There may be visible fire activity in some of the interior unburned pockets of fuel. These areas are situated well inside the fire perimeter and should not pose any threat to any of the containment lines. The transition to a more localized incident management team will begin Wednesday evening.
