Información General: Esta será la última actualización del incendio Beachie Creek.  Las páginas de Inciweb y de Facebook que corresponden al incendio serán actualizadas durante los próximos días mientras el equipo tipo 3 concluye su asignación, pero no serán mantenidas durante el invierno.  Informacion será proporcionada en las paginas del bosque nacional Willamette y la Gerencia de Tierras Públicas del distrito del noroeste de Oregón o en otras plataformas de redes sociales cuando es necesario.  Para más información, visite Inciweb usando el código QR o la página web: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/7001/.

El trabajo de reparación sigue siendo el enfoque de los bomberos.  Esto incluye excavadores reparando las líneas de contención, las cuales ya están terminando en el incendio Beachie Creek.  Todavía están astillando arboles a lo largo de la carretera 46.  Equipos siguen progresando hacia Brietenbush, pero la carretera esta cerrada para la seguridad de los conductores y trabajadores. 

No se han reportado casos de COVID-19 en el puesto de comando para el incendio Beachie Creek y el personal sigue manteniendo los protocolos de COVID.  Estos protocolos incluyen lavarse las manos, usar mascarillas y mantener 6 pies de distancia. 

“Nuestro enfoque son medidas de prevención. Durante la transición de cada equipo hemos mantenido la vigilancia.  Cuando estamos en contacto con el público hemos mantenido distancia y hemos pedido lo mismo del público.” -Zebron Watts, Líder Medico de Unidad. 

Se han quitado todos los niveles de evacuación en los condados de Clackamas, Marion y Linn.

Clima y Comportamiento del Fuego: Hoy el clima se mantendrá nublado y frio con 10% probabilidad de lluvia. Un frente rio débil presentara condiciones más secas con niveles de humedad alrededor de 60-70%.  El clima hoy será seco y nublado, con temperaturas alrededor de 58 a 63 °F (14-18 °C).  Habrá leve viento del oeste. La actividad del fuego sigue siendo mínima.

Aunque la actividad del fuego es mínima todavía hay peligros.  Las calles recientemente abiertas, sin pavimentar están lodosas y susceptibles a caídas de piedras a causa de la erosión por el incendio y el viento.  Las áreas quemadas siguen cerradas porque puede haber hoyos de escombros que guardan brasas calientes que humean por largo tiempo después de un incendio, y arboles débiles que pueden caer y causar danos y muerte.  El publico debe buscar actualizaciones de clausuras en los recursos listados:

•    Bosque Nacional Willamette  www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/willamette/alerts-notices/?aid=61574

Suppression repair work is still the focus for fire crews. This includes excavator operations repairing fire lines, which are wrapping up on the Beachie Creek fire. There is still chipping being done along the 46 road for the Lionshead fire. Crews are making progress towards Brietenbush, but the road is still closed for the safety of workers and drivers.

There have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at the Beachie Creek incident command post and personnel are still maintaining COVID protocols. These protocols include the 3 W’s: washing hands, wearing masks, and watching for 6-feet distancing.

“Our focus is preventative measures. As teams have transitioned in and out, we have maintained vigilant awareness. When interacting with the public, we have kept a respectful distance and request the same in return.”-Zebron Watts, Medical Unit Leader

All evacuation levels have been lifted for Clackamas, Marion, and Linn counties.

Weather and Fire Behavior: Weather remains cool and mostly cloudy with a 10% chance of rain today. A weak cool front will present drier conditions with humidity levels around 60-70%. The weather today will be mostly dry and cloudy, with temperatures ranging from 58-63°F. There will be a mild western wind. Fire behavior continues to remain minimal.

With minimal fire behavior, there are still safety concerns. Newly opened, unpaved roads are muddy and susceptible to rock falls due to erosion from the fire event and winds. Burn areas remain closed due to ash pits that can continue to smolder long after the wildfire event, in addition to falling trees that can cause serious injury and death. Members of the public should look for closure updates from the following resources:

•    Willamette National Forest www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/willamette/alerts-notices/?aid=61574  
•     Bureau of Land Management www.blm.gov/programs/public-safety-and-fire/fire-and-aviation/regional-info/oregon-washington/fire-restrictions.

Información General: Nuestros bomberos siguen enfocados en las reparaciones, que incluyen reparar las líneas de contención con un excavador para rehabilitar el paisaje. Adicionalmente, los equipos están retirando arboles peligrosos y acudiendo a la erosión en las áreas de recreación.  

El equipo de Respuesta de Emergencia al Área Quemada (BAER en inglés) ha terminado su trabajo.  Los equipos BAER son enviados a incendios cuando ya han dejado de crecer, pero antes que esté completamente sofocado para evaluar el impacto al paisaje.  El trabajo incluye evaluar la severidad del incendio en el suelo, detectar los efectos en el hábitat de especies sensibles, identificar el impacto a las estructuras y áreas de recreación, y marcar áreas de desechos peligrosos.

En el incendio Lionshead, están astillando arboles a lo largo de la Carretera 46.  Han completado 4 millas y los equipos siguen progresando hacia Breitenbush.  Conductores deben saber que la carretera sigue cerrada para su seguridad y la seguridad de los trabajadores

“Recuerden que nuestro trabajado no termina hasta que caminemos por la puerta de nuestras casas y reconectamos con nuestros amigos, familia y seres queridos.” -Frank Cisneros, Oficial de Seguridad. 

La autopista 22 sigue accesible sin barricadas.  El límite de velocidad es de 40 millas por hora desde Gates hasta Pamelia Creek para mantener la seguridad de los conductores y trabajadores a lo largo de la carretera donde siguen cortando árboles.  Espere retrasos y mantenga la precaución en estas áreas. 

Se han quitado todos los niveles de evacuación en los condados de Clackamas, Marion y Linn.

Total Personnel: 82
Start Date: August 16, 2020
Cause: Under Investigation

General Information: Our fire crews are still focused on suppression repair, which includes repair work on dozer line with an excavator to rehabilitate the landscape. Additionally, crews are removing hazard trees and addressing erosion in recreation areas.

The Burned Area Emergency Response team (BAER) has concluded their work. BAER teams are typically dispatched to large fires after a halt in growth, but before suppression is completed to assess the habitats and landscape. The tasks include assessing soil burn severity, detecting the effects on the habits of sensitive species, identifying impacts to structures and recreation areas, and marking hazmat areas. 

State Highway 22 is still allowing vehicles through without road barricades. The speed limit remains 40 mph between Gates and Pamelia Creek to maintain safety for drivers and workers along the roadside where tree removal is occurring. Expect delays and remain cautious in these areas.

On the Lionshead fire, there is chipping being done along the 46 road. So far, 4 miles have been completed and crews are progressing towards Breitenbush. Drivers should remain aware that the road is still closed for their safety, as well as the safety of the crews.

“Remember that our job is not complete until we walk through the front door of our place of residence and reconnect with our friends, family, and loved ones” -Frank Cisneros, Safety Officer.

All evacuation levels have been lifted for Clackamas, Marion, and Linn counties.
