Zona Norte y Sur: El incendio permanece bajo Mando Unificado con el Equipo 13 de Gestión de Incidentes Complejos de California, CAL FIRE, Bomberos del Condado de Santa Bárbara, y el Sheriff del Condado de Santa Bárbara. 

Informe del Incendio en la Zona Norte:  El clima favorable y el comportamiento del fuego proporcionaron una oportunidad para que los bomberos extiendan la línea de contención a lo largo del borde del fuego con una creciente confianza en que el Incendio Lake no escapará de esas líneas. El trabajo de excavación está a punto de terminar. A lo largo de la parte sureste del incendio, los bomberos siguen trabajando para buscar y destruir brasas ardientes y conectar las líneas de contención a través de las partes menos accesibles del borde del incendio.

Informe del Incendio en la Zona Sur: Hoy los equipos aumentaron las líneas de contención y continuaron la limpieza. Las llamas que arrastran, y arden y los focos de baja intensidad se encuentran en el interior del perímetro del incendio.

Location: 31 miles NW of Chelan, WA

Containment: 14%              

Personnel: 776                                   

Cause: Human-caused, under investigation

Resources Assigned: 18 crews, 9 helicopters, 20 engines, 23 water tenders, 18 heavy The Pioneer Fire is burning within a mountainous and remote area on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest near Lake Chelan. Firefighters are using a full suppression response in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness to protect values at risk, life, and property, with firefighter and public safety as the primary objective. The communities of Chelan, Manson, and Stehekin are open and continue to welcome visitors. 

Operations: Firefighters capitalized on the successful Monday night firing operation around Round Mountain yesterday by initiating a limited point protection firing operation along Fish Creek, from the mountain’s north side down to the lake. This point protection operation was successful. Several miles away, fire behavior increased and moved into Hunt’s Creek, unrelated to the point protection firing operation. Firefighters also completed the indirect contingency line along Cooper’s Ridge toward Parrish Peak. 

Firefighters and fire engines from the Pioneer Fire have been assisting Chelan County Fire Districts 5 and 7 with structure assessments in and around Manson. They will continue to coordinate with the local fire districts to ensure accurate structural assessments and inventory data are available if the need arises. The forecasted turbulent weather today with gusty outflow winds may cause profuse spotting and high-intensity fire behavior in active drainages such as Flick Creek, Middle Fork Prince Creek (Cub Lake) and East Fork Fish Creek, which has extensive bug-killed and downed timber. Firefighters from the Pioneer Fire are available to assist with new initial attack fires in the area.

Safety and Closures: The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest has a closure order in place for much of the fire area. Details and maps are available at: https://bit.ly/PioneerClosure. There is a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in place over the fire: https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_6779.html.

Falls Fire Update for July 17, 2024  

Falls Fire 2024 | Facebook 

(541) 208-4370 Staffed 8 am to 8 pm 

2024.falls@firenet.gov 

The Falls Fire was less active yesterday than predicted.  The fire acreage is now estimated to be 91,269 with 0% containment. The fire is burning approximately 13.5 miles north of Burns, 15 miles southwest of Seneca, and 3 miles west of Highway (Hwy) 395. Hwy 395 was reopened yesterday at approximately noon.  Traffic traveling between mile posts 44 and 60 will follow lead vehicles through active firefighting operations. 

Yesterday, the fire was not as active and growth was relatively moderate despite predicted conditions.  Control lines along much of the south and west portions of the fire, along Forest Service Road (FSR) 43, held firm with only a few problem spots that were lined and mopped up.  Significant progress was made at the northwest corner of the fire along FSR 4310 where firefighters were able to “turn the corner” and build direct dozer and hand line. Along the northeast and eastern areas of the fire perimeter, firefighters were able to construct both direct and indirect control lines where conditions allowed for safe operations. At the southeastern corner of the fire, firefighters were able to keep the fire from coming out of the Lake Creek drainage.  Efforts to establish dozer line to tie into the Silvies River area over to FSR 3110 area continued to make progress. Mop-up operations continue along FSR 43. 

Aerial resources, including five helicopters, six single-engine air tankers (SEATs), two large air tankers (LATs), and two very large air tankers (VLATs) helped to slow the fires growth, and supported firefighters as they made progress constructing and securing containment lines. 

Today, fire behavior is predicted to be heavily influenced by multi-directional winds. There is an increased possibility of thunderstorms in the area which will produce downdraft winds. New line construction efforts will focus on extending line from the northwest corner of the fire moving to the east across the northern flank. Crews will construct direct and indirect control lines along the northeast and southeast flanks in the FSR 31 area.  Efforts to secure line between FSR 3120 and Lone Pine Road will continue.  Mop-up operations will continue on portions of the southern and western areas of the fire along FSR 43. Firefighters will continue to scout for future control lines to the north and east.  

Yesterday, Oregon State Fire Marshal structure teams were able to document homes and outbuildings that were lost early on in the fire.  Ten residences were lost and thirteen “other” structures were also destroyed.  The term “other” could be campground buildings, pump houses, sheds, shops, lean-tos and other small buildings.  Information for damaged and lost assets will be delivered to Harney County.  Community members with questions can contact the Non-Emergency County Information Line at 541-589-5579.  

Last night, OSFM night crews focused on the Lone Pine burnout operations and holding triaged homes along the southern edge of the fire.  Today, they will continue patrolling the Hines Logging Road and the Lone Pine Road.  Two task forces will continue to identify buildings and complete the triaging process along the 31 Road and Hwy 395.  Triaging includes establishing water supply, removing fuels near structures, identifying firefighter hazards, and supporting any burnout operations near assets.  Structure firefighters will progressively work their way north to the town of Seneca. 

There has been a significant arrival of resources on the fire to help with fire suppression efforts. Currently there are 1,413 personnel on the fire; this includes 48 20-person hand crews, 79 fire engines, 17 bulldozers, and 24 water tenders.  

Today’s predicted weather includes cloudier conditions with an increased possibility of thunderstorms in the general area around the fire that could produce strong outflow winds.  Winds in general are predicted to be erratic, shifting, and multi-directional.  Temperature highs will be 90 – 98 degrees and relative humidity around 15%.   

Evacuation notices remain in effect in Grant and Harney Counties. For the most accurate evacuation information, please visit the Harney County Sheriff’s evacuation map here: https://tinyurl.com/3zst4sjy, or the Grant County Emergency Management Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068819321423.  

The Malheur National Forest issued a fire area closure. A detailed map and additional information about the fire area closure are available at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/malheur/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD1188914. A temporary flight restriction (TFR) remains in place over the fire area. 

Please continue to do your part to prevent human caused wildfires and remember that #onlyyoucanpreventwildfires! Know Before You Go and check for fire restrictions in areas you are living and visiting. 

Ridge Fire Daily Operational Video for Tuesday July 17th, 2024.

Facebook link: https://fb.watch/tnKGvKUREF/

**Silver King Fire Smoke Report - July 17, 2024**

Fire
The Silver King fire has burned 17,750 acres, with minimal
fire growth over the last few days. Containment has
increased to 20%. Moderate to active fire behavior
continues. Firefighters continue building and reinforcing
firelines and protecting structures in further suppression
efforts.

Smoke
Yesterday, air quality for most areas around the fire wavered
between GOOD and MODERATE. Similar conditions are
expected today, as fire activity is expected to be similar and
winds are expected to be light. Thunderstorms are possible,
and if they do develop, gusty winds may increase smoke
production for a short amount of time.

Actions to take
Your animals can be impacted by smoke, too. Long exposure
to lower levels of smoke can irritate animals’ eyes and
lungs. If it’s smoky, consider limiting strenuous activity, and
provide plenty of drinking water to your animals. Limit dust
exposure by using low dust or dust-free feeds. Make sure to
take care of yourself too by limiting exposure or using an
N95 mask while tending to your animals.
