Effective immediately, forest officials have decreased the area closure that has been in place for the Frog Fire burning in the Maury Mountains on the Ochoco National Forest. The Frog Fire, which started August 16 is now 90% contained at 4,020 acres.

An area closure was put in place for all U.S. Forest Service managed lands west of Forest Road 16 in the Maury Mountains. This closure was implemented for the safety of the public and firefighters working in the area.  To view the closure order and map, visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/ochoco/alerts-notices

The following area closure is in place (see attached map for details):

All lands managed by the US Forest Service west of NFSR (National Forest System Road) 16 and 1640 in the Maury Mountains. Including Forest Service managed lands within T. 17 S., R. 18 E., sections 20-29 and 33-36; T. 17 S., R. 19 E., sections 30 and 31; T. 18 S., R. 18 E., sections 1-4, 9-12, 14, and 15; T. 18 S., R. 19 E., sections 6-8, 17, and 18.

Roads

The Frog Fire was started by lightning on the afternoon of Sunday, August 16. Firefighters responded to the incident immediately, building containment lines in steep, rugged terrain.

Crews worked the blaze for several days before a Type 2 Incident Management Team was brought in to add capacity to firefighting efforts. The fire is now 90% contained and crews will work this week to achieve full containment.

While the fire perimeter is cold to the touch, the interior fire area still has pockets of heat. This fire will likely smoke and smolder until winter snow and cold temperatures completely extinguish it. Please do not report this fire to dispatch or emergency services. Firefighters will continually monitor it until it is declared “controlled” or dead out.

An area closure is put in place for all U.S. Forest Service managed lands west of Forest Road 16 in the Maury Mountains. This closure is being implemented for the safety of the public and firefighters working in the area.  To view the closure order and map, visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/ochoco/alerts-notices

Frog Fire Update

Northwest Incident Management Team 8, Incident Commander, Doug Johnson

August 29, 2020 - 9:00 AM

This will be the last update from the Northwest Incident Management Team 8 (NWIMT8). NWIMT8 would like to take this opportunity to say “thank you” to the community, cooperators, agency staff, and firefighters for the unwavering support during our management of the Frog Fire. The management of the Frog Fire is being returned to a local Type 4 management organization Sunday morning. Fire suppression repairs and patrols will be ongoing in the Frog Fire area.

General Updates: The anticipated cold front forecasted to move through the area later this afternoon and into this evening has firefighters watching the skies and the fire perimeter. With persistent 25 mph winds expected in the evening, firefighters will remain vigilant and ready to respond to any spots or embers pushed across the Frog Fire containment lines. High winds, dry fuels and low relative humidity could test containment lines on the fire.  Crews continue to mop up, strengthen and patrol containment lines on all flanks of the incident.

Back hauling of excess equipment from the fire line has begun and fire fighters are working to repair dozer line and resource impacts from fire suppression. As these objectives are met, resources will be released to return home or be reassigned to assist on other fires. 

A special reminder to hunters and recreationalists that despite milder temperatures, fuels are extremely dry and readily receptive to ignition.  Please do your part to prevent wildfires.

Acreage: 4,020

Containment: 90%

Fire Information: 541-670-0812 (8:00 am to 9:00 PM). This number will change Sunday morning back to Central Oregon Dispatch Fire Information Desk: 541-316-7711.

General Updates: Minimal fire behavior is expected with creeping and smoldering. Today firefighters will continue mopping up across the fire and work on repairing areas impacted by fire suppression including dozer lines.  Part of the repair work will be continuing cold trailing, which is where crews walk a grid pattern over an area looking for hot spots.

Favorable weather conditions continued yesterday allowing firefighters achieve 50 to 200 feet of cold ground inwards from the perimeter in many areas. An extended network of hose lays on the northwest side of the fire is assisting their mop up progress.

Thunderstorms moved through the region south and east of the fire.

The safety of the public and all wildland fire responders is always the number one priority for all wildland fire agencies.  To keep firefighters and communities healthy and safe, all firefighters are asked to follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reduce the spread of illness.  This also includes limited entry into the incident command post and spike camp.  Please see the websites below or contact the Frog Fire information center at 541-670-0812 for further fire information.

General Updates: Yesterday provided favorable weather conditions for firefighters to strengthen control lines around the perimeter of the fire. The anticipated thunderstorms stayed southeast of the fire. Due to moderate cloud cover, fire behavior remained minimal through much of the day with the fire smoldering in unburned ground debris and continuing consumption of downed trees.

Mop-up operations continued with firefighters achieving 50 to 200 feet of cold ground inwards from the fireline. Crews are utilizing an extensive hose lay on the northwest side of the fire where bluffed, steep terrain has proved challenging. They conducted successful cold-trailing, the process of gridding an area by hand to feel for spots of heat, and mop-up operations in this area yesterday.

Today firefighters will continue mopping up across the fire and working on rehabilitating areas impacted by fire suppression. Fire resources are also looking for opportunities to backhaul unneeded supplies and garbage from the fireline.

The western flank has been more accurately mapped increasing the total acreage.

General Updates: The Red Flag warning for thunderstorms and gusty winds over the Frog Fire continues until 11p.m. this evening. Yesterday’s storms skirted to the south of the fire.  According to Operations Planning Section Chief trainee Mike Aizpitarte, “Crews are safely making great progress widening the black we have around the fire.”

The Frog Fire has been burning for over a week producing hazards to firefighters including weakened trees, loose and rolling debris which could hold burning embers. The steep and rugged terrain on the western side of the fire has hose lays providing water to cool hot spots as mop up progresses. New hose lays are being added where needed. The fire is creeping and smoldering with some isolated torching.  Estimated acreage is 3,956 with 40% containment. Any acreage change is due to more accurate mapping practices.

General Updates: The fire remained within its current footprint overnight with minimal fire behavior, including in the areas that saw interior torching yesterday. Today firefighters will reinforce control lines around the perimeter of the fire and engage in mop-up operations.

On the southern and eastern portions of the fire, crews will increase the depth of area cooled along the current perimeter to strengthen containment lines. On the northwestern flank of the fire, resources plan to focus their mop-up efforts on concentrated sources of heat near the existing fireline.

A red flag warning for thunderstorms and gusty winds has been issued beginning at 12:00 p.m today through 11:00 p.m. tomorrow. Overnight temperatures and good relative humidity recoveries along with increased cloud cover will moderate fire activity this morning providing advantageous conditions to secure lines and hot spots ahead of the afternoon’s potential weather event.

Northwest Incident Management Team 8 would like to thank the Brothers-Hampton and Post-Paulina Rangeland Fire Protection Association (RFPA) for their contributions to the suppression efforts of the Frog Fire.  Cooperators and partners such as the RFPA resources have been released to be available to respond to any new starts.

These standards are intended to provide safety to the public, firefighting personnel and area resources by preventing wildfires from traveling outside of the established perimeter.
