Quarry Fire Update  
Sunday, October 8th, 2023 

Stanislaus National Forest  
Incident Management Team (Type-3) 

PIO Contacts:
Eugenie Moore - eugenie.moore@usda.gov
steve lyon - slyon@nps.gov

Fire Statistics:
Location: The Quarry Fire is located on the Stanislaus National Forest, Mi-Wok Ranger District, off Forest Road 3N01, east of Bourland Creek and near the Emigrant Wilderness west of Cherry Creek.
Acres Burned to Date: 6,053
Cause: Lightning
Containment: 33%
Total Personnel: 58
Injuries: 0

Current Activities: Today, fire crews held off on firing to secure perimeters, clean up containment lines, and monitor the fire’s progression. Forecast weather outlook has improved over previous predictions, so today’s prep work will support firing operations this week.

Background: Fire professionals using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS, also known as drones) are managing fire behavior and intensity to provide for multiple resource benefits including reducing concentrations of all fuels, re-establishing multi-generational timber stands, improving wildlife habitat, promoting plant diversity, and re-introducing fire into fire adapted ecosystems. 

These UAS flights have a light footprint to bring fire to sensitive areas with minimal impact on the wilderness.

Closures: Soft closures are in effect to provide for the safety of the public utilizing public lands as well as fire personnel working in the area.  The soft closures are an encouragement for the public to stay clear of the area, to find alternate routes to their locations and to provide fire personnel the widest berth possible as they go about their mission. 

With the public’s cooperation, we will continue to monitor the number and duration of each, recognizing that fire personnel and public safety is the focus. 

As of October 8, 2023, the following soft closures are in effect: 
2N71 where it meets 3N16
3N21 where it meets 3N16
3N21 where it meets 3N01
3N22 where it meets 3N01
3N17 where it meets 3N29
3N29 to 3N29C
3N16
3N34Y
3N01H
3N01J
3N01L

Smoke: Smoke impacts from the Quarry Fire, the prescribed burns of the Experimental Forest, Dry Meadows and Beardsley Burn units on the Summit Ranger District will cause smoke to settle in low lying areas. Check out the fire and smoke map at fire.airnow.gov for more information.

Ignitions will begin today on Yuba D underburn with the goal of completing 165 acres. Smoke will be visible from Yuba Pass along Hwy 49 corridor south towards Sierra City.  Smoke impacts will be carefully monitored and immediate action will be taken should smoke becomes an issue.

128 acres of understory burning were successfully completed yesterday. There will be no ignitions today or tomorrow, Oct. 9 due to forecasted winds. Fire staff will focus on securing completed units and prepping remaining units for ingnitions later into the week.

Lookout, Bedrock, Petes Lake, Horse Creek and Pothole Fires
Sunday, October 8, 2023 - Morning Update – 9:00 a.m.

Lookout Fire - Size: 25,754 acres | Start Date: August 5 | Cause: Lightning | Containment: 60%

Bedrock Fire - Size: 31,590 acres | Start Date: July 22 l Cause: Under Investigation l Containment: 100%

Petes Lake Fire - Size: 3,254 acres | Start Date: August 25 | Cause: Lightning | Completion: 80%

Horse Creek Fire - Size: 763 acres | Start Date: August 24 | Cause: Lightning | Containment: 100%

Pothole Fire - Size: 109 acres | Start Date: August 25 | Cause: Lightning |Containment: 100%

Total Assigned Personnel: 298 | 4 engines | 5 crews | 1 dozer | 2 water tenders

(Walterville, Ore.) – Hot and dry conditions caused fuels smoldering in the fire’s interior to intensify and produce visible smoke in some areas. In addition, new areas of heat were spotted near control lines and quickly extinguished by firefighters. Suppression repair work on the eastern portion of the Lookout Fire is nearing completion. Backhauling of equipment continues across the Lookout and Bedrock fires. 

Patrolling and monitoring are essential components in the later stages of a fire management plan. When fires burn in remote areas where the risk to life and property is minimal and loss is not a direct concern, personnel will monitor fire behavior and respond as needed.  Fire managers are monitoring the Petes Lake Fire.  Crews patrol control lines to suppress spot fires and extinguish overlooked hot spots. Resources have been patrolling the Lookout, Bedrock and Horse Creek Fires since the fires were brought under control. 

Weather:  It will continue to be warm and dry until Monday when temperatures decrease and humidity increases. As much as one inch of rain is expected to fall over the fire area beginning Monday and continuing into Wednesday.

Forest Closures: Established closures on the Willamette National Forest remain in place around fire-impacted areas, including the Lookout and Bedrock Fires. The public is urged to “Know Before You Go” by visiting the Willamette National Forest official webpage. For specific hunting-related questions, contact Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at (503) 947-6000. 

Safety:  Some fire-impacted areas remain closed as critical suppression repair work continues. The public is asked to exercise caution along roadways around the fire. Drivers should be extra vigilant along Forest Road 15 between Highway 126 and Highway 20, where crews and heavy equipment are traveling and engaging in suppression repair work.

Fire Update

2023 SRF Lightning Complex 

Sunday, October 8, 2023 – 8:00 A.M.

California Interagency Incident Management Team 16

John Goss, Incident Commander

Information Phone: 530-618-3339

Email: 2023.lightningcomplex@firenet.gov 

Information Staffing Hours: 8 am to 8 pm

This update covers 6 of the 15 fires being managed as part of the SRF Lightning Complex. The Copper Fire (2184 acres) was absorbed by the Blue Creek #2 Fire. On September 22, 2023, the Bluff #1 Fire (4270 acres) and Blue Creek #2 Fire (9751 acres) were absorbed by the Mosquito Fire. The combination of Blue Creek #2 Fire, Bluff #1 Fire, and Mosquito Fire is now referred to as the Mosquito Fire. On September 30, 2023 we incorporated the management of the Hancock fire (1,728 acres, 100% contained). The remaining 6 fires (Big Foot, Blue Creek, Creek, Flat, Iron, and Merrill) totaling 34 acres, are contained and in patrol status. They are checked daily, and their size and containment remain unchanged. 

Current Situation:

The 15 fires on this incident total 49,784 acres and overall containment is 75%. In total, 390 personnel are assigned to the incident. A storm system with wetting rain is expected to impact the Complex Monday. Firefighters prepare to respond to any need for service and take advantage of the window of opportunity the cooler weather will provide in fully containing the fire. This written incident update will be distributed every other day. If fire conditions necessitate this update will return to being distributed as often as necessary.

Crews continue to actively assess the conditions of the Pearch and Mosquito Fires. Prioritizing the safety of firefighters and the public is paramount, given that recent rainfall has heightened the risk of fire-weakened trees falling due to the saturation of soil. Continuous monitoring efforts have been extended to cover the remote Marlow Fire and the north side of the Mosquito Fire. The mowing and the mastication work taking place across the fire is nearing completion. On the Pearch Fire, the process of backhauling pumps and hoses from locations where they are no longer needed has been completed. Hazard tree removal, chipping, grading, road repair, and suppression repair remains a high priority.

Firefighters are closely monitoring the Highway 96 corridor and Salmon River Road for any signs of falling rocks, debris, or fire activity. Both CalTrans and Siskiyou County crews remain on standby to clear roadways if necessary. Fire activity is expected to moderate over the next few days, due to wet conditions and precipitation predicted for the fire area. Tactical patrol of the fire’s edge ensures that it remains in the existing footprint. 

Pearch Fire (12,146 acres, 68% contained) – The Pearch Fire remains in Patrol status with very limited activity as mop up continues. Firefighters have completed all backhaul and suppression repair on this incident. Small pockets of smoke are being generated near the Salmon River, but they are no threat to the line.

Mosquito Fire (33,781 acres, 68% contained) –Suppression repair efforts are complete on the northeastern edge of the fire near the Dillon Mountain and Sidewinder Road. Beans Ridge repair efforts are ongoing. Increased fire activity due to warmer temperatures was observed near Dillon Mountain and Lightning Ridge yesterday, but they were well within the existing containment lines. The Slate Creek mastication and chipping project was completed. Patrol along the western edge ensures the fire stays within the existing footprint.

Marlow Fire (1,988 acres, 100% contained) – Minimal activity is reported on the Marlow Fire, which is in a remote area. The fire is contained by indirect control lines to the east and south, as well as prior fire footprints where fuels are less dense. No values or structures are currently threatened by the Marlow Fire.

Monument (2 acres, 100% contained), Let er-Buck (96 acres, 100% contained) and Hancock (1,729 acres, 100% contained) Fires – A confinement strategy has been employed for these three fires due to the limited values at risk and the challenging, remote, and steep terrain, which presents safety concerns for firefighters. Natural fire barriers such as rock outcroppings and old fire footprints with sparse fuels are being used to contain fire growth until the arrival of season-ending precipitation. Regular monitoring by air ensures that both fires remain within an acceptable perimeter, all are now considered 100% contained.

Weather: Clouds will begin to increase across the area on Sunday as moisture in the middle and upper levels of the atmosphere increase ahead of the storm system set to impact the fire beginning Monday. The primary change will be increasing clouds which will keep temperatures a few degrees cooler, and humidity values a few points higher as compared to Saturday. Overnight Sunday into Monday, a front will approach the area with a band of rain expected to begin across western portions of the fire around sunrise. Precipitation will spread eastward across the remainder of the fire and ICP. Generally, accumulations will range from one-half to one inch on Monday with locally higher amounts possible over favored aspects.

Please stay informed and exercise caution in the affected areas and be aware that rain and wet conditions may lead to ongoing weather-related challenges.
