Total Incident Personnel: 1,221

Soldiers of the 14th Brigade Engineer Battalion, a combat engineer battalion of the United States Army based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington, have successfully completed their training in firefighting tactics on the Wolf Creek Fire yesterday. Today the battalion will be broken down into their crews and be assigned to all fires being managed by the Great Basin Incident Management Team 2.

Weather | Anticipated Fire Behavior: 

Temperatures yesterday were slightly cooler, settling in the upper 70s, with increased humidity and afternoon winds around 15-20 mph. Today, conditions will remain dry, warm, and gusty. Winds will shift to southwesterly, with gusts up to 25 mph. There is a low chance of monsoonal moisture today, with potential increasing later in the week. Tonight, there is chance for increased fire activity with lower humidity recoveries below the inversion layer. 

Boulder Fire: https://tinyurl.com/ycdfv3tv

Containment on the Boulder Fire has increased. Control lines on the fire remain intact and fire crews will continue to monitor for any interior torching that could lead to spotting around edge of the fire perimeter. The western perimeter of the fire is surrounded by rock outcroppings, which effectively reduce the fire’s ability to spread. Fire managers are looking for future opportunities for firing operations, which are weather dependent. 

Dollar Fire: https://tinyurl.com/bef6r3tz

Crews are making progress on installing handlines along the west and southern perimeter of the fire. Installing handline is the process of removing available fuels down to mineral soil using firefighting hand tools to reduce the amount of burnable material. The previously burned area to the east of the Dollar Fire has slowed growth on the fire. Fire crews are working to install plumbing around the fire. 

Snag Fire: https://tinyurl.com/4k9dk3mu

Fire crews are working to strengthen control lines between the west perimeter and Warm Lake Road. They will continue to plumb along the perimeter, which means setting up a system of hoses, pumps, and water sources to control and contain the fire. This setup helps firefighters manage hotspots and prevent fire spread beyond established perimeters. Fire managers are looking for opportunities for firing operations, which are weather dependent. 

The Valley County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with Great Basin Incident Management Team 2, have established one-way escorts for residents and contractors through the Snag Fire affected areas. This escort will be provided for reasons of necessity and not for recreation purposes. For more information visit: https://tinyurl.com/mtartvas

Wolf Creek Fire: https://tinyurl.com/mcksrfvh

The Wolf Creek Fire is nearing containment. Fire crews will continue to monitor for any internal heat and torching. Torching occurs when there is ignition of a single or small group of trees. Firefighters will begin repair work on the hand and dozer lines today. 

Goat Fire: https://tinyurl.com/2h4a3dvr

The western edge of the Goat Fire is adjacent to a previously burned area, which could help slow fire progress. Fire crews are evaluating old containment lines that were used on a previous wildfire in the area. Firefighters will strengthen these containment lines which will help prevent fire spread. 

Gabe Fire:

Crews will continue to monitor the Gabe Fire to ensure no further fire activity occurs.

Despite high temperatures and low humidities over the fire yesterday, crews made good progress increasing containment between Boulder Creek and Cuprum. Equipment was removed from the area near Bear and repair work to return the landscape to its natural state is in progress. Crews continued securing and adding depth to existing lines around Horse Mountain. 

Today, there is a red flag warning as hot and dry conditions continue, with a possibility of cloud cover in the afternoon. Crews will be monitoring unburned pockets of vegetation in the northern portion of the fire and the possibility of embers blowing over containment lines outside the main fire. When temperatures are cooler and humidities higher, firefighters will implement firing operations to increase containment lines into the late evening. 

The three Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) modules assigned to the fire have completed a total of 35 infrared missions, 700 minutes of flight time, and have dropped 1,000 ping-pong balls, also known as “dragon eggs,” filled with a chemical powder form of potassium permanganate, which are injected with glycol upon release, causing a chemical reaction that ignites the ping-pong balls to assist in firing operations. 

Evacuations:  Evacuation levels set by the Adams County Sheriff continue unchanged. Cuprum remains at a Level 2 (SET) evacuation level. The Bear and Wildhorse communities remain at a Level 1 (READY) evacuation level. For your safety and the safety of firefighters, please stay away from the fire area. Only residents and property owners are allowed in the area until further notice. 

Closures: The Forest Closure Order issued by the Payette National Forest to protect public safety near the fire area remains in effect. For more information about the closure, visit https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/idpaf-limepoint-fire. 

Restrictions: Stage 1 Fire Restrictions remain in effect for the Payette National Forest and all state, private and BLM lands in the fire area. Under these restrictions, campfires are allowed only in recreation sites within metal fire pits. Fires of any kind are not allowed in any dispersed camping areas. 

Park Fire Evening Update for August 18 is posted on the Park Fire Status Update Page

Jackson, Wyo., August 18, 2024 – The Bridger-Teton National Forest is continuing efforts to suppress several fires on the Forest, including the Fish Creek and Cottonwood Creek fires on the Jackson Ranger District, the Leeds Creek Fire on the Pinedale Ranger District and the Merna Butte Fire on the Big Piney Ranger District.

Fish Creek Fire
The Fish Creek Fire was discovered on Friday, August 16, in a remote area of the North Fork Fish Creek drainage, approximately 7 miles southwest of Togwotee Pass. The lightning-caused fire is currently 1,731-acres in size burning in heavy timber, litter, understory and standing dead Engelmann spruce. Smoke from the fire may be visible from Grand Teton National Park, the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), as well as Moran, Dubois, Jackson and Pinedale, WY.

The Forest has ordered a Wyoming Type 3 Incident Management Team to help fight the Fish Creek Fire. A Type 3 Incident Management Team is brought in for fires that exceed the firefighting resources a Forest has available. The Team utilizes the Incident Command System and is staffed with supervisory positions that can order resources to fight the fire and provide oversight for several operational periods. 

Additional resources have been ordered to help suppress the fire, including a helicopter, helitack crew, 6 fire engines, and medical personnel. Fire managers and crews continue to scout potential control line locations and protect resources.  

During the evening, smoke from the Fish Creek Fire may impact US HWY 26/287. Please drive slowly and cautiously in the area with your headlights on. For more information, please visit the fire’s InciWeb page at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/wybtf-fish-creek-fire.

Cottonwood Creek Fire
The Cottonwood Creek Fire was discovered on Saturday, August 17, 2024, in the Sohare Creek area, northeast of Gunsight Pass and west of the Cottonwood Creek drainage (the fire is located approximately 6 miles southwest of the Fish Creek Fire). The lightning-caused Cottonwood Creek Fire is currently 7-acres in size burning in dead and down timber and younger mixed-conifer. 

Air attack operations, including 2 air tankers dropped retardant lines around the fire. One common way fire retardant works is by reducing the receptiveness of fuels in the surrounding area to slow the rate of combustion and limit the spread of the flames. Smoke jumpers also responded to the fire to go direct and suppress the fire, and hotshot crews have also been ordered. 

Leeds Creek Fire
The 780-acre Leeds Creek Fire is currently 70% contained and has received a significant amount of moisture last week. Fire crews continue efforts to suppress the fire on the Pinedale Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Ten personnel are assigned to the fire. 

The Leeds Creek Area, Roads, and Trails Closure Order (map) has been established for public and firefighter safety. See full details at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/btnf/alerts-notices. Union Pass Road and South Fork Fish Creek Trail remain open under this closure. A reroute for the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) has also been established. Visit the CDT Coalition’s Closures and Alerts webpage to learn more at https://cdtcoalition.org/closures-and-alerts/.

Merna Butte Fire
The 153-acre Merna Butte Fire is currently 50% contained and has received a significant amount of moisture over the last few days. Firefighters continue to work along the perimeter of the fire “mopping up,” which means they are finding hot spots in the burn and extinguishing them so that the fire remains contained in the existing footprint. Twenty-six resources are assigned to the fire including one fire engine. 

The Bridger-Teton has rescinded the temporary area, road and trail closure that was placed around the Merna Butte Fire. While the fire is not out, visitors can now enter the Forest near the fire area. Anyone accessing the Merna Butte area is asked to use caution as firefighters and equipment are still working in the area. Additionally, Sublette County downgraded all their pre-evacuation notices and there are no alerts at this time.

The Forest Service uses all available strategies and tools to suppress wildfires, and public and firefighter safety are the top priorities for fire managers.

Fire danger rating for the Bridger-Teton National Forest remains at High. That means that all fine dead fuels ignite readily, and fires start easily from most causes. It also means unattended brush and campfires are likely to escape. Fires spread rapidly and short-distance spotting is common in High fire danger.

2620 Road Fire

Incident Commander: Kent Stanford/Kris Butler

Fire Information Phone Number: 360-323-1903

Email: 2024.2620Road@firenet.gov

Facebook: www.facebook.com/2620RoadFire2024

InciWeb: https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/waolc-2620-road-fire

Update as of:                  August 18, 2024

Estimated size:              322 acres 

Containment:                  8%

Start Date/Time:             8/14/2024 at 5:00 PM

Area of Origin:                West of Brinnon, North of Duckabush Rd. on Mt. Jupiter

Cause:                              Undetermined

Structures Damaged:   None

Update: Overnight storms brought winds in excess of 30 mph and some wetting rain, but less than the forecasted amount.  Crews will be assessing existing fire breaks for downed trees and other flammable materials that may have crossed firebreaks, or material that rolled downhill that could pose a threat to containing the fire. Residents in the area should use caution, be aware of fire vehicles that may require longer stopping distance and potentially displaced wildlife.  Gusty winds are expected again tonight, and firefighters will continue to advance and improve lines in front of the forecasted evening winds.  Firefighter and public safety continues to be our number one priority.

There are now 165 resources assigned to the 2620 Road Fire.  There was minimal fire growth yesterday as crews worked on improving existing firelines and developing tactics for additional suppression.  Thanks to the hard work of these firefighters, the 2620 Road Fire is 8% contained.  As the weather continues to warm and winds continue to pick up, firefighters are anticipating heavier fire activity with potential fire growth.  We will continue to evaluate resources and order more resources as the fire activity increases. 

The percentage of containment can sometimes be a confusing term. A fire is considered contained when a control line has been established around the fire, and the fire is not expected to spread. Fireline supervisors evaluate these control lines daily to determine the percentage of actual fire containment based off of current and expected fire behavior.

Weather: Sunday’s weather will bring hazy conditions in the morning, and gusty winds with a slight chance of rain in the evening.

Road Closures: Duckabush Road and Mt. Jupiter Road (2620 Road) remain closed except for residents on these roads.

Forest Closures:  Olympic National Forest has updated closures are located at www.fs.usda.gov and Olympic National Forest – Alert and Closures web page

Air Space Restrictions: A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) remains in place over the fire. If you fly, we can’t.

Evacuation Levels/Shelters: The 2500 block and above of Duckabush Road remains at a Level 2. The 1000 block up to the 2500 block of Duckabush Road remains at a Level 1.  There are no shelters open at this time.

Actualización diaria del incendio Easy

18 de agosto de 2024 

Datos clave

Tamaño: 2,130 acres (No hubo II)          

Fecha de inicio: 17 de julio de 2024      

Ubicación: 17 millas al oeste de Mazama, WA 

Contención: 29%    

Personal asignado: 246                             

Causa: Rayo

Recursos asignados:  6 equipos de obreros, 12 camiones de bomberos, 6 tanques de agua

SITUACIÓN ACTUAL: El fuego se ha quedado mayormente dentro de su huella existente en los últimos días. Ayer, los bomberos usaron un sistema de aeronave no tripulada (UAS) equipado con tecnología infrarroja para detectar cualquier área del incendio con calor que pueda contribuir al desplazo futuro del fuego. Los helicópteros vertieron agua sobre el fuego para enfriar los focos de calor. Los bomberos en el terreno evaluaron las oportunidades para trabajar más cerca del extremo norte, pero se vieron limitados por las grandes cantidades de árboles caídos, o árboles muertos en pie que pueden derrumbarse y matar o lesionar a los bomberos que trabajan por allí. El fuego también está ardiendo en laderas demasiado empinadas donde los troncos en llamas pueden rodar cuesta abajo, desplazando el fuego cuesta abajo y amenazando aún más la seguridad de los bomberos.

ACTIVIDADES DE HOY: Los bomberos continuarán aprovechando cualquier oportunidad para extinguir los focos de calor donde sea posible debido al terreno escarpado, la posibilidad de escombros rodantes y los muchos obstáculos. Los helicópteros apoyarán al verter agua de manera estratégica donde sea necesario para eliminar el calor del borde del incendio y limitar el potencial de que se propague el fuego. A lo largo del corredor de la carretera 20, los bomberos continuarán removiendo escombros, neutralizando y fortaleciendo el cortafuegos.

CLIMA y HUMO: Tormentas eléctricas y lluvias por la noche continuaron tras las condiciones más cálidas y secas de ayer sobre el área del incendio a última hora de la noche y por la mañanita. Existe la posibilidad de haber más tormentas eléctricas esta tarde. El pronóstico del humo para los incendios Pioneer e Easy Fires está disponible en https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/f79a6d6d.

CIERRES:  La carretera 20 está cerrada en ambas direcciones entre Granite Creek (MP 148) y Rainy Pass (MP 157): https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/. Manténgase al día en.

El Bosque Nacional Okanogan-Wenatchee tiene cierres vigentes para los senderos dentro del área del incendio. Para saber más vaya a Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest - Alerts & Closures (usda.gov). Este cierre incluye una parte del sendero Pacific Crest Trail. Están prohibidas las fogatas.

Hay una restricción temporal de vuelo (TFR, en inglés) sobre el área del incendio: https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_6779.html. La actividad de drones no autorizados está prohibida por la TFR.

EVACUACIONES:  No existen órdenes de evacuación para el incendio Easy. Cualquiera que utilice la zona para recrearse debe estar atento a su entorno y permanecer fuera de las áreas cerradas.
