Situación actual: Ayer, los administradores de incendios determinaron que ahora hay un 5% de contención en el incendio de Interlaken, en el borde noroeste. A última hora de la tarde del jueves 13 de junio, hubo algo de actividad de fuego en la esquina noroeste del incendio ("Div A" en el mapa), y los bomberos trabajaron durante la noche para garantizar la protección exitosa de las estructuras históricas. En la Div A, en el lado norte del incendio, el terreno es empinado y está lleno de muertos y postes de cabaña. El fuego se está moviendo lentamente a través de la maleza en esta área, retrocediendo hacia Interlaken Trail, donde los bomberos pueden utilizar el sendero como línea de fuego y tomar medidas directas en el borde del incendio cuando sea posible. En el lado W/SW del incendio (Div Z en el mapa), las cuadrillas están construyendo una línea de fuego directa, conectándola con la 399 Rd. Más cuadrillas están llegando a esta área hoy para continuar construyendo la línea de fuego a lo largo de este borde W / SW del incendio. En la División D, en el lado este del incendio, está llegando más personal para construir una línea de fuego desde la carretera 399 oeste hasta donde la División D se encuentra con la División Z. El área donde se encuentran las divisiones en el mapa está marcada con un símbolo (). En esta área, las cuadrillas también están recopilando información sobre la ubicación de las estructuras en terrenos privados. Los equipos locales de búsqueda y rescate están ayudando a los bomberos utilizando botes para llevar suministros a través del lago hasta el área del incendio, y más helicópteros están llegando al incendio. Hoy, habrá dos helicópteros Tipo 1, dos Tipo 2 y un Tipo 3 disponibles para el incendio de Interlakan.

WILLOWS, Calif., June 13, 2024 – Fire personnel with the Mendocino National Forest’s Grindstone Ranger District are planning an interagency prescribed burn at the Red Bluff Recreation Area on June 20-21, pending favorable weather conditions. Firefighters will attempt up to 400 acres of understory burning to reduce nonnative starthistle. The location of the recreation area is south of Hwy 36 and east of I-5 and within the Red Bluff city limits.

Forest staff are carefully coordinating the 400-acre maintenance burn with partners, including CAL-FIRE Tehama-Glenn Unit, City of Red Bluff Fire Department and the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians.

“The first entry (of prescribed burning) into this area produced an amazing new grass crop, reaching in some areas approximately four feet tall. We also saw the return of native wheat growing in areas of the recreation site,” said Michael Davis, Grindstone Ranger District Fire Management Officer.

“This prescribed fire during fire season would give us the ability to reduce the remaining nonnative yellow starthistle before it can flower and produce seeds. This action will also lesson the possibility of unplanned fires in the recreation area spreading to cooperator lands or vice versa,” said Davis.

In September 2023, interagency firefighters conducted a prescribed burn in the area to protect private residences and business along Sale Lane and provide a training opportunity. Reintroducing low-intensity frequent fire to the area can decrease risk of future wildfire and help restore fire-dependent native plant communities. Fire crews will be working with Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians to promote cultural burning practices during the burn.

“Coordination with the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, as stewards of this territory, is critical to return this area back to pre-contact conditions,” said Laverne Bill, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer.

Fire managers are also coordinating with local landowners in the area to use private roads for containment lines.

Vegetation in the planned units is primarily grass with several small piles of woody debris, shrubs and downed trees. Personnel are timing the burn to help mitigate invasive, nonnative yellow starthistle, which produces buds and flowers in June. Prescribed burning in early summer can help prevent the plant from setting seed later in the season. Firefighters will also protect special ecological and cultural resources, including elderberry plants and gray willows used for basketweaving.

Access to the Red Bluff Recreation Area will be limited, and firefighters ask the public to avoid the area during prescribed fire operations. Smoke may be visible in the city of Red Bluff and along the I-5 corridor. Individuals who are sensitive to smoke are encouraged to take precaution and minimize exposure. For those with a reservation at Camp Discovery or Sycamore Grove campgrounds, an escort will be provided.

The Red Bluff Recreation Area, a popular camping, birding and picnic destination, has seen several fuels reduction and restoration activities over the years, including prescribed fire, goat grazing, pile burning and chipping woody debris to reduce wildfire hazards.

A map and photos of the prescribed burn units are included in this news release. Additional updates about the burn will be shared on the Mendocino National Forest website and social media @MendocinoNF, @CALFIRETGU, @RedBluffFireDepartment and Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians.

Pioneer Fire Update

Thursday, June 13, 2024

CHELAN, Wash. – The Pioneer Fire is burning in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness Area in the Chelan Ranger District of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and on private land. Public and firefighter safety are the number one priority for the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Washington DNR, Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, and Northwest Incident Management Team 13.

In coordination with fire managers, Chelan County Emergency Management has raised the evacuation level from Prince Creek north to Cascade Creek to Level 2 (Be Prepared). A Level 3 (Go Now) evacuation order remains in place for the area around Rex Creek. Please visit https://www.co.chelan.wa.us/emergency-management/pages/active-emergencies for the most current information on evacuations.

As firefighters maintain constructed handlines, hose lays, and sprinklers to protect structures along the lakeshore between Pioneer Creek and Rex Creek, fire officials are working to transport supplies to a Forward Operating Base camp at Lucerne. Crews will camp there, and meals, equipment and supplies will be provided. All personnel and supplies must be transported by boat, barge, or aircraft to the fire area.

Today, the structure protection group will work on establishing protection to homes/cabins from Moore Point to Canoe Creek, reducing ground fuels and creating defensible spaces around private property. Other fire crews are constructing handlines off the Lakeshore Trail to protect structures between Pioneer Creek and Rex Creek. Due to rugged, inaccessible terrain and the large amount of ground fuels, the fire will likely persist on the landscape for an extended duration.

Strategic water drops by aviation resources have helped to slow, but not stop, fire spread along the lake shore. On Wednesday, helicopters dropped 130,000 gallons of water on the fire in support of firefighters on the ground. More aviation resources are expected today, including a drone (Unmanned Aerial System) which will aid in reconnaissance.

Weather: Today will be warm and dry. A dry cold front is expected tonight, bringing cooler temperatures, but humidity levels will remain low, and winds could reach 25 mph. Cooler temperatures will continue over the weekend, with a very slight chance of precipitation.

Closures: A closure order is in effect for the Lakeshore Trail from Prince Creek to Moore Point and portions of the Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness for public safety. The closure includes Prince Creek, Cascade Creek, and Moore Point boat-in campgrounds. Stehekin-bound hikers can be dropped at Moore Point to begin their trip. The closure order and map are posted on the Forest’s website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/okawen/alerts-notices/?cid=fseprd521011. 

SAFETY: Recreational boaters are asked to maintain space from aircraft utilizing Lake Chelan for water collection. Recreationists are asked to follow the forest closure orders for their safety and the safety of firefighters. Closure details can be found on the link provided above in the closures section.

Type 3 Incident Management Team
John Markalunas, Incident Commander

Location: 7 miles S-SW of Leadville, Colorado Date Reported: June 11, 2024 at 2:01pm Cause: Human caused
Size: 443 acres Containment: 0% Total Personnel: 140

Current Situation: As of yesterday, the Interlaken Fire is being managed by a Type 3 Incident Management Team
(IMT). This team brings a leadership structure and personnel to manage all aspects of the fire including operations, logistics, public information, and other needs. More resources will continue to arrive in the coming days.

Yesterday, aircraft made multiple drops of both water and retardant to check the spread of the fire, and firefighters worked to establish anchor points and engage the fire directly where possible. Operations staff state that yesterday was “a beneficial day of establishing the tactics that will set us up for successful operations in the coming days.” Last night, the Interlaken Fire was active until approximately 1am, mostly burning through understory. There does not appear to have been significant growth, however, new acreage will be assessed soon. Yesterday, on the north end of the fire, crews worked from the Interlaken Historical Site area southeast toward the Continental Divide Trail, building direct line at the fire’s edge. Today, they are scouting for options for fireline in the more difficult terrain where the fire extends uphill and to the ridge. On the south side of the fire, crews are building direct fireline, extending to the southeast. On the southeast side of the fire, firefighters are gathering intel on locations of structures. Helicopters are supporting ground operations with water drops on the northwest corner and the south edge of the fire.
 

Weather & Smoke Information: Today, June 13, the fire area will be generally warm and dry with max temperature of 77F and humidity falling below 15%. Winds from the west today, 3-12 mph with gusts to 18 mph. There is a small chance of afternoon convective cloudiness over the mountains, which could produce some very brief periods of gusty and erratic winds. Overnight, moisture will increase, with potential for some weak showers overnight, mostly to the north of the fire location. Friday could bring showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, bringing gusty and erratic winds, but also higher humidity, increasing chance for rainfall. Visit https://www.airnow.gov/wildfires/ for resources on smoke.
