Situacio Actual: Los fuertes vientos sostenidos ayer y durante toda la noche del viernes produjeron un comportamiento de fuego extremo que empujó el dedo sureste del fuego hacia el sur hacia Bulwark Ridge, Miller Fork, Storm Mountain, Cedar Park y Glen Haven. Se utilizaron aviones para lanzar baldes de agua y ignifugo a lo largo de la carretera 44H Buckhorn Road y el perímetro sureste del incendio. Los bomberos trabajaron durante toda la noche y se agregaron recursos adicionales del turno de día a las operaciones nocturnas. Las operaciones nocturnas se enfocaron en las comunidades amenazadas por el avance del fuego y a lo largo del corredor CR27, con énfasis en la protección de estructuras.

Las condiciones de Bandera Roja continuarán durante el día con vientos sostenidos de 50 mph; Se espera un comportamiento de fuego activo continuo. Las estrategias estarán estrechamente vinculadas al clima, minimizando la propagación del fuego siempre que sea posible y manteniendo el fuego al sur de 44H Buckhorn Road, al oeste de CR 27, al norte de CR 43 y al norte de la autopista 34 de los EE. UU. para proteger los activa cosas en riesgo antes del avance esperado del incendio.

En Branch I (usando la mapa), al norte y al este de la autopista 14 está en estado de monitoreo mientras los equipos continúan patrullando el borde del incendio. La División A / D continúa siendo monitoreada y vigilada para detectar incendios durante el evento de viento. En la División F / L / R, los bomberos continúan asegurando el borde y evitando que el fuego se mueva hacia el este. Los motores del grupo de Protección de Estructura del norte están asignados para eliminar los árboles peligrosos a lo largo de la Carretera 14 dentro del perímetro del incendio según lo permitan las condiciones.

En Branch II, los equipos de la División T continúan enfocándose en detener el fuego al sur de 44H Buckhorn Road. Ayer, los equipos de punta construyeron una línea de mano directa y usaron equipo pesado en la sección que se quemó al norte de 44H Buckhorn Road. El trabajo continuará para asegurar esta área hoy. La protección y evaluación de la estructuras a lo largo de 44H Buckhorn Road, así como en Paradise Park y Stove Prairie, está en curso según lo permitan las condiciones. En el lado este del incendio, las cuadrillas de la División V están construyendo una línea directa con equipo pesado en el área de Bear Gulch. Las operaciones continúan desarrollando líneas de contingencia primarias y secundarias hacia el este más allá de CR 27 en preparación para el comportamiento del fuego activo durante el evento de viento.

En Branch III está preparada para otro día desafiante de crecimiento esperado de incendios durante la advertencia de Bandera Roja. Cuando los vientos se alinean con el terreno, aumenta el potencial de propagación de incendios y focos puntuales. En la División X, los bomberos trabajaron en la protección de estructuras y en la aplicación de espuma retardante de fuego en las casas antes de mudarse por razones de seguridad en las áreas de Storm Mountain, The Retreat y Cedar Park ayer. Se asignaron motores de sobretensión y equipos de tierra adicionales para ayudar con la protección y mitigación de la estructura. Los equipos de la División U están evaluando y desarrollando estrategias que se implementarán de manera segura después de que el fuego se propague hacia el este y el sur. El equipo de gestión de incidentes está trabajando con el Rocky Mountain National Park en las Divisiones W y Z colocando un puesto de observación para monitorear la posible propagación del fuego hacia el sur e identificar los valores en riesgo. Ha habido poco movimiento del fuego dentro del National Park durante varios días.

Se utilizan dos grupos de protección de estructuras donde más se necesitan, según el comportamiento del fuego. Los bomberos de estos grupos están evaluando las necesidades, eliminando combustibles y estableciendo puntos de protección donde es seguro hacerlo. Esto incluye las áreas entre el crecimiento del fuego de ayer y las comunidades al sur y al este. Los grupos de protección de estructuras están utilizando motores de los departamentos de bomberos de Colorado ordenados a través del Centro de operaciones de emergencia para ayudar en el borde sureste del incendio, donde ha progresado hacia la autopista 34 y CR27.

Condiciones meteorológicas y de combustible: Se esperan condiciones climáticas críticas de incendios nuevamente hoy con poca humedad y vientos del oeste con ráfagas de hasta 70 a 75 mph en la mañana, sosteniéndose de 40 a 50 mph durante todo el día. Una advertencia de bandera roja permanece vigente hasta las 8 pm, lo que alimentará el crecimiento del fuego y producirá humo denso.

Cameron Peak Fire Update

Saturday, October 17, 2020 – 9:00 am

Rocky Mountain Type 1 Incident Management Team

Dan Dallas, Incident Commander

Information Office: 970-541-1008

Hours of Operation: 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Email: 2020.cameronpeak@firenet.gov

Current Situation:

Sustained high winds yesterday and throughout Friday night produced extreme fire behavior that pushed the southeast finger of the fire to the south towards Bulwark Ridge, Miller Fork, Storm Mountain, Cedar Park and Glen Haven. Aircraft were used for bucket drops and retardant along the 44H Buckhorn Road and the southeastern perimeter of the fire.  Firefighters worked throughout the night, and additional day shift resources were added to night operations. Night operations focused on the communities threatened by the advancement of the fire and along the CR27 corridor, with an emphasis on structure protection. 

Red Flag conditions will continue through the day with sustained winds of 50 mph; continued active fire behavior is expected. Strategies will be closely tied to the weather, minimizing fire spread where possible and keeping the fire south of 44H Buckhorn Road, west of CR 27, north of CR 43 and north of US Highway 34.  Resources will continue to be shifted within the fire area to protect values at risk ahead of the fire’s expected advance. 

Branch I north and east of Highway 14 is in monitor status as crews continue to patrol the fire edge. Division A/D continues to be monitored and watched for spot fires during the wind event. In Division F/L/R, firefighters continue to secure the edge and keep the fire from moving to the east.  Engines from the northern Structure Protection group are assigned to remove hazard trees along Highway 14 inside the fire perimeter as conditions allow.

In Branch II, crews in Division T continue to focus on holding the fire south of 44H Buckhorn Road. Yesterday, hotshot crews built direct handline and used heavy equipment on the section that burned north of 44H Buckhorn Road. Work will continue to secure this area today. Structure protection and assessment along 44H Buckhorn Road, as well as in Paradise Park and Stove Prairie, is ongoing as conditions allow. On the east side of the fire, crews in Division V are building direct line with heavy equipment in the area of Bear Gulch. Operations continue to develop primary and secondary contingency lines to the east beyond CR 27 in preparation for active fire behavior during the wind event.

Branch III is prepared for another challenging day of expected fire growth during the Red Flag warning.  When winds align with terrain, the potential for fire spread and spot fires increase.  In Division X, firefighters worked on structure protection and applying fire retardant foam on homes before moving out for safety reasons in the Storm Mountain, The Retreat and Cedar Park areas yesterday. Additional surge engines and ground crews were allocated to assist with structure protection and mitigation. Crews in Division U are evaluating and developing strategies that will be implemented safely after the fire spread to the east and south. The Incident Management Team is working with Rocky Mountain National Park in Divisions W and Z by placing a lookout to monitor possible fire spread to the south and identify values at risk. There has been little movement of the fire within the National Park for several days.

Two Structure Protection Groups are being used where they are needed most depending on fire behavior.  Firefighters in these groups are assessing needs, removing fuels, and establishing point protection where it is safe to do. This includes the areas between Friday’s fire growth and the communities to the south and east. Engines from fire departments across Colorado ordered through the Emergency Operations Center are being used by Structure Protection Groups to assist on the southeastern edge of the fire where it has progressed towards US Highway 34 and CR27.

Weather & Fuel Conditions: Critical fire weather conditions are expected again today with low humidity and west winds gusting up to 70 to 75 mph in the morning, sustaining 40 to 50 mph throughout the day.  A Red Flag Warning remains in effect for today until 8 pm, which will fuel fire growth and produce heavy smoke.

Evacuations and Closures: For updates, text the word LCEVAC to 888777 from your cell phone. Emergency information will be forwarded as needed. This is the best way to get information about the situation in your area. Call the Red Cross at 800-417-0495. Press #1 if you have been evacuated and need shelter.  You can also visit http://cowyredcrossblog.org/cpf/ for updates.

Special Notes: If you are in a mandatory evacuation area, please evacuate. Remaining in your home until the last minute compromises your safety and that of the firefighters. Firefighters must focus on getting you out rather than attacking the fire. Evacuating when ordered also helps keep roads open for firefighters to more safely move in and out of the area.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Department is conducting structure assessments in areas affected by the fire when it is safe to do so. Notifications to homeowners will be made by the Sheriff’s Department. 

Temporary Flight Restriction (TRF): A TFR is in place over the Cameron Peak Fire. Wildfires are a No Drone Zone. If you fly, we can’t. Whenever a drone is spotted near the fire all aircraft are grounded until we can be sure the drone is clear of the area. For more information, visit http://knowbeforeyoufly.org.
