            Kitty Creek – 73, 100% contained

Highlights: Containment of the Crazy Creek Fire grew to 60 percent, from 50 percent reported Friday, Aug. 9. California Incident Management Team 1 assumed command of the fire at 6 a.m. today. 

Firefighters on the southern and western portions of the fire worked to strengthen containment lines by extinguishing pockets of residual heat and adding depth to the containment line by burning vegetation from the containment line back toward the fire. Available crews and resources were shifted to assist firefighters on the northeast portion of the fire, particularly to bolster containment lines in the Bear Mountain and East Wolf Creek areas. Crews completed protection perimeters around recreation structures located along Forest Road 5820 at the eastern perimeter of the fire. 

Evacuations: Evacuation orders remain in effect for areas in Crook and Wheeler Counties for areas in or near the fire. Level 3 evacuations have extended from the Forest Boundary to Highway 380. Level 2 evacuations have extended south of Highway 380. For further information, please refer to the Crook County Office of Emergency Management evacuation map. 

Weather: Hot, dry weather continues through the weekend across the region with temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s, light wind and low humidity. 

Importance of Fire Prevention: All public lands in Central Oregon, to include the Ochoco National Forest, are in Stage 2 Public Use (Fire) Restrictions. All open flames, including woodstoves and charcoal briquette fires, are prohibited. In times of high fire danger, it is crucial for everyone to follow fire prevention measures to avoid additional strain on overburdened resources. The public's cooperation in adhering to fire bans and restrictions is vital to prevent new fires from starting and to help our firefighters focus on containing the existing fires.

The Clearwater Fire has set up an Incident Command Post (ICP) at the day use area at Buffalo Bill State Park North Fork Campground. As a result, the day use area is currently temporarily closed for public use. However, the remainder of the campground is open to the public.

How do administrators choose an Incident Command Post location? Much of that depends on the size and scope of the fire. Some factors considered include immediate available space adequate for quick setting up a “temporary city,” a safe location from fire activity so the base camp won’t need to be relocated if fire activity picks up, drive time and traffic patterns for crews to get to the fire area, and a quiet space for firefighters to sleep and recover.

The Bill Cody State Park graciously offered the use of the day use camping area which met the criteria for the Clearwater Fire. Prior to crews arriving at ICP, and before driving to the fire, vehicles have undercarriage washing to prevent the spread of weeds.  Following check in, all personnel are briefed on the area food storage orders, grounds sanitation efforts, and other ICP guidelines. The Clearwater Team is grateful for the hospitality from the Buffalo Bill State Park crew and generosity of the use of campground facilities.
