Klamath National Forest Reduces Emergency Closure Area

Yreka, Calif., September 16, 2023 – The Klamath National Forest is reducing the areas under emergency closure orders for the Happy Camp Complex on the Happy Camp/Oak Knoll and Scott River Ranger Districts. The decision was made after close coordination between Northern Rockies Incident Management Team 2, local cooperators, and the Klamath National Forest.

The purpose of an emergency closure order is to provide for public safety in response to ongoing wildfire on the Happy Camp Complex. A forest closure prohibits the public from entering portions of the forest in or near the vicinity of ongoing wildfire activity. The closure order also prohibits the use of roads, trails, and developed recreation sites within the closure area.

Both the 05-05-23-08 and 05-05-23-06 closure orders have been rescinded and have been replaced with a single closure order (05-05-23-09), which covers two areas.

Eastern Portion: This area is within the Oak Knoll and Scott River Ranger Districts.

The eastern portion of the closure order runs along the Scott River Road, between Tompkins Creek and the community of Scott Bar. From Scott Bar the closure continues to the east along Mill Creek and then north to Collins Baldy Lookout. From the lookout the closure continues to Little Baldy and then follows the ridge between Collins and Everill creeks to CA Highway 96. After crossing CA Highway 96 the closure area follows Sambo Gulch in the southern area of Johnny O’Neil Ridge before returning to Highway 96 west of Hamburg. From Highway 96 the closure extends to the south in the area of Jim Creek and on to Tom Martin Peak and to Forest System Road 46N65 where it crosses Tompkins Creek, then follow Tompkins Creek back down to Scott River Road.

Western Portion: This area is within the Happy Camp Ranger District. The northernmost point of the western closure area is just south of Curly Jack Campground. From there, the closure extends south along Elk Creek to Bishop Creek and on to Forest System Road 15N08A and south to the border of the Marble Mountain Wilderness. The closure area follows the wilderness boundary to the southwest where it intersects Ukonom Creek and heads to the Klamath River. From there, the closure area follows the Klamath River downstream to Dillon Creek Campground where it picks up the border between the Happy Camp Ranger District on the Klamath National Forest and the Ukonom Ranger District, administered by the Six Rivers National Forest. The closure area follows that boundary until it ties in with the boundary of the Siskiyou Wilderness near Dillon Divide. The closure area boundary continues along the wilderness boundary to the area of No Mans Trailhead, where it turns to the east and heads down Clear Creek where it ties in with CA Highway 96, heading back up to Curly Jack Campground.

 Maps of the Emergency Fire Closure for the Happy Camp Complex can be found at the bottom of the Order. Specific affected roads, trails, and recreation sites can be found within the Order. View Order 05-05-23-09 on the Klamath National Forest Website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1139220.pdf

Fire Restrictions: Fire restrictions remain in place to help minimize the chances of human- caused wildland fires. These restrictions prohibit campfires outside of designated improved recreation areas and wilderness. A full list of fire restrictions, designated improved recreation sites, and exemptions is available at https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1132189.pdf

Olympic National Park Wilderness Information Center (WIC) will be notifying backcountry permit holders who may be impacted by this closure. Any permit holders who plan to backpack in the above impacted areas should contact the WIC at 360-565-2992 or by emailing OLYM_WIC@nps.gov. 

Port Angeles, Wash. – The fires in Olympic National Park fire have increased in size and complexity over the last 24 hours; fire managers and are ordering additional resources to manage and support firefighters on the ground. A Type 3 incident management organization will be established to manage these lightning caused fires.

Warm temperatures and low relative humidity levels greatly increased fire activity on the Delabarre Fire. After low fire activity for the last several days, it grew significantly in size. Acreage estimates are between 400 and 500 acres, but a more accurate size will be known tomorrow after infrared mapping flights take place. There continues to remain no threat to critical infrastructure or communities from these fires at this time, but additional trail closures are now in place:

• Elwha River Trail from Elkhorn to Low Divide
• Hayden Pass Trail
• Dosewallips River Trail from Dose Meadows to Hayden Pass
• Dodger Point Way Trail

The Delabarre Fire started from a lightning strike in the Delabarre Creek drainage and burned to the northeast over the ridge and into the Buckinghorse Creek drainage. It continues burning to the northeast.

Increased smoke from fires burning in Olympic National Park was seen throughout the north Olympic Peninsula region. Winds from the south blew smoke from the very active Delabarre Fire into the region early Saturday morning. Ash was seen in the Deer Park and Lost Mountain Road areas.

Fire is an integral part of the forested ecosystems on the Olympic Peninsula; plants and animals here have evolved with fire for thousands of years. Many factors such as weather, topography, and vegetation influence fire behavior and the effects that fires have on natural resources.

Background Information

All seven active fires in Olympic National Park ignited when a series of lightning strikes occurred on the Olympic Peninsula in the afternoon on August 28.

Closures  

Due to wildfire activity the following closures are in effect until further notice:

• Elwha River Trail from Elkhorn to Low Divide
• Hayden Pass Trail
• Dosewallips River Trail from Dose Meadows to Hayden Pass
• Dodger Point Way Trail
• North Fork Quinault Trail from Elip Creek trail junction to Low Divide
• Skyline Trail from Elip Creek Trail junction to Low Divide
• Martin Park Trail
• Obstruction Point Road and Trailhead

Olympic National Park Wilderness Information Center (WIC) will be notifying backcountry permit holders who may be impacted by these closures. Any permit holders who plan to backpack in the above impacted areas should contact the WIC at 360-565-2992 or by emailing OLYM_WIC@nps.gov.

Weather and Fire Behavior

High pressure aloft will move away from the region today, but the fire sites will still feel its effects with another day of warm and dry conditions. Relative humidity values will remain slightly above critical thresholds, although combined with the poor overnight recoveries lately, the potential for active fire behavior remains high. Onshore flow will increase tonight along with clouds associated with an incoming front. This will not make much of an impact on overnight relative humidity recoveries, but its effects will be felt throughout the day Sunday as well as the potential for showers Sunday night into Monday.

The Sourdough Fire Burned Area Emergency Response team arrived on September 7, 2023. A Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team is deployed after a wildfire to assess the fire impacts on natural resources, cultural resources, and infrastructure and to assess potential safety hazards to humans and property.

Lookout/Horse Creek/Pothole/Bedrock Fires

September 14, 2023 - Morning Update

Lookout: Total Personnel: 625 | Size: 24,610 acres l Start Date: August 5, 2023 l Cause: Lightning l Containment: 50%

Resources: 24 engines l 11 crews l 5 bulldozers l 26 water tenders l 5 masticators l 3 helicopters l 2 skidders

Containment remains at 50% on Lookout Fire.  Crews continue to construct line and improve roads on the northern portion of the fire where fire activity has picked up. As a result, some smoke production may be apparent.  Patrol, monitoring, and repair on the east and south sides of the fire continue and interior hot spots are being extinguished when located.  

Horse Creek: Total Personnel: 70 |Size: 763 acres l Start Date: August 24, 2023 l Cause: Lightning l Containment: 90%

Resources: 5 engines l 1 crew l 1 bulldozer l 2 water tenders l 2 masticator l 1 excavator | 3 skidders

Containment remains at 90% and with no additional growth on the fire.  Chipping and clearing of debris from indirect lines continues, allowing for safe travel.  Crews continue to patrol and monitor, extinguishing hot spots as they are found along the west, north, and south sides of the fire, strengthening and holding the containment lines. 

Pothole: Total Personnel: 18 |Size: 109 acres l Start Date: August 25, 2023 l Cause: Lightning l Containment: 90% Resources: 1 engine l 1 water tender |1 masticator | 1 excavator

Containment remains at 90% and with no additional growth on the fire.  Crews continue to patrol and monitor the line, mopping up the interior of the fire, and snuffing hot spots as they are found. 

Bedrock: Total Personnel: 158 | Size: 31,590 acres l Start Date: July 22, 2023 l Cause: under investigation l Containment: 90%

Resources: 6 engines l 4 crews l 5 bulldozers l 13 water tenders l 4 masticators l 3 helicopters l 1 skidder

Containment remains at 90% on Bedrock Fire and acreage remains unchanged.  Work with Resource Advisors (READ) continues to implement priority repair work based upon the READs input.  Backhauling of excess equipment has begun and suppression repair along roads continues.  As crews work on suppression repair, they are working towards a result of returning the affected area, as close as possible, to pre-fire conditions.

All Fires:  What does it mean to patrol and monitor the line?  Crews will work their way back and forth attentively over the length of the control line to prevent fire from crossing over the line, to suppress any spot fires, and to extinguish overlooked hotspots. 

Weather

Yesterday was the start to a drier warmer period which will last into the weekend.  Temperatures were up and humidities were down.  Today will continue the warmer and drier trend along with a light easterly flow.  This pattern is bringing a day of elevated fire weather conditions and a possibility of light to moderate of the fire.  

Evacuation Update

Linn County Evacuations: For the Lookout and Horse Creek fires, the Linn County Sheriff Offices announced an Evacuation Alert change.

• All LEVEL 1 (BE READY) and LEVEL 2 (BE SET) Evacuation Alert Levels are lifted completely.
• All LEVEL 3 (GO NOW) Evacuation Alerts are downgraded to a LEVEL 1 (BE READY) preparedness level.

Fire Update

2023 SRF Lightning Complex

Saturday, September 16, 2023 – 9:00 a.m.

Eastern Area Type 2 Gold Team

Brian Jenkins, Incident Commander

Information Phone: 530-536-0767

Email: 2023.lightningcomplex@firenet.gov

Information Staffing Hours: 8 am to 8 pm

Special Notes: The Eastern Area Incident Management Team took command of the fire on September 16, 2023 at 7:00 a.m. The 5 contained Redwood Lightning Complex Fires have been transferred back to the Redwood National and State Parks. The contained Lone Pine Fire has been transferred back to the local unit (see the accompanying Complex Overview for further details).  The Eastern Area Team is looking forward to the continued cooperation of local communities, agencies, and the Yurok, Karuk, and Hoopa Tribes during our stay here.

This update covers 9 of the 15 fires being managed as part of the SRF Lightning Complex. The remaining 6 fires are listed in the accompanying Complex Overview. Those fires, totaling 1,717 acres, are contained and in patrol status. They are checked daily, and their size and containment are unlikely to change.

Current Situation: The 15 fires in this incident total 23,811 acres and overall containment is 8%. This reduction in containment percentage is a result of which fires are now being managed under the Eastern Area Gold Team and not due to a substantial growth in fire acreage. The 9 uncontained fires described below total 21,326 acres. These fires are all on the Six Rivers National Forest. In total, 927 personnel are assigned to the incident.

Fire, weather, and fuels conditions on the 2023 SRF Lightning Complex continue to be favorable for using strategic firing operations to accomplish fire suppression objectives and protect communities, cultural resources, and other values. Strategic firing under current conditions is proving successful in cleaning up accumulated excess fuels on the forest floor with low intensity understory burns showing 2 to 4 foot flame lengths. Firing is progressing at a methodical pace that permits monitoring of effectiveness and making adjustments as needed. Engines are being deployed at night in locations where firing has occurred to guard against any unexpected fire behavior.

Pearch Fire (6201 acres, 9% contained) – Crews continue to patrol completed fire lines, mop up and secure the fire perimeter on the south and west sides of the fire. Tomorrow, a taskforce will finish the chipping operation along the west side. Structure Groups are present on the fire during both day and night shifts in the event they are needed. No firing operations occurred on the Pearch Fire yesterday. An area of active fire continues to back downslope into the Butler Creek and a portion of Somes Creek drainages on the northeastern side of the fire, well within indirect control lines. No fire movement occurred on the north side of the fire nearest Somes Bar. A night shift of engines continues to work the Pearch Fire. Today’s activities will be similar to yesterday.

Bluff #1 (3423 acres, 16% contained) and Mosquito (3671 acres, 15% contained) Fires – Due to hot temperatures and low relative humidity, strategic firing operations only occurred on 50 acres yesterday on the north end of Bluff #1. On the Mosquito Fire, no firing operations occurred yesterday due to low visibility.

A night shift of engines remained on the fires throughout the nighttime hours. Today, if weather and visibility are favorable, firing operations will continue near Bluff #1 and Mosquito Fires. Hand firing will continue to progress northward along Bluff Creek Road and Cedar Camp Road, and aerial firing will fill in the terrain between the two.

Blue Creek #2 (4128 acres, 0% contained), Marlow (1725 acres, 0% contained), and Copper (2092 acres, 0% contained) Fires – These fires are bounded by indirect control lines to the east and south and prior fire footprints where fuels are lighter. Fire growth over many days has been moderate, and no values are currently threatened. Blue Creek #2 and Copper Fires have now burned together, as expected. An 8-person Wildland Fire Module continues to monitor and assess conditions on the ground. Masticators are continuing brush removal work along the Nickowitz Road to open access to the south end of the fires.  Fire managers from the 2023 SRF Lightning Complex are coordinating daily with fire managers on the Happy Camp Complex due to the proximity of the Elliot Fire (part of Happy Camp Complex).

Monument (2 acres, 0% contained) and Let er-Buck (82 acres, 0% contained) Fires – Due to limited values at risk, the remote, steep terrain and associated safety concerns for our firefighters, and the low probability of success using standard suppression tactics, these fires are being addressed with a confinement strategy. Terrain, natural fire barriers such as rock outcroppings, and old fire footprints where fuels are limited will be used to confine fire growth until season ending precipitation extinguishes the fires. These fires are checked regularly by aerial patrols to ensure they remain within acceptable bounds, and very little fire growth has been observed.

Weather: The strong ridge which has been centered overhead the past several days will begin weakening and shifting to the east. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms may develop in the afternoon and evening.  This may bring strong outflow winds near the complex.  Up-canyon winds 12-18 mph will develop this afternoon and evening in larger valleys. Highs will be in the lower 90s in the valleys and mid 70s to lower 80s on ridges. Onshore flow developing Saturday will cool temperatures 3-5 degrees.

For information on Closures, Evacuations, and Alert Notifications please see the accompanying Complex Overview.

Actualización del Incendio del Complejo Cowlitz  

16 de septiembre de 2023 

Situación actual: El complejo Cowlitz está contenido en un 32%, con un total de 684 hectáreas y 377 personal. Aviones continuaron a caer agua sobre la Grassy Mountain, Snagtooth, y Spencer Quartz incendios el viernes.  Las cuadrillas están avanzando en las líneas de contención indirecta de estos incendios para mantenerlos dentro de su perímetro actual. Se espera que las temperaturas más cálidas y secas para durar hasta hoy, sábado, 16 de septiembre. La actividad del fuego actual no se anticipa a amenazar a las comunidades más cercanas de Randle o Packwood, Washington. 

Entrenamiento Firewise: Habrá un entrenamiento gratuito Firewise esta mañana, 16 de septiembre de 10 am a 12 pm en la estación principal de bomberos Packwood en la carretera estatal 12. Se anima al público a asistir. 

Antecedentes: Hay 30 incendios en el complejo. Los incendios se iniciaron el 25 de agosto tras la caída de un rayo en el bosque nacional de Gifford Pinchot. Mantener el nivel de recursos de extinción, la dedicación a la seguridad y el mantenimiento de los incendios en su huella actual siguen siendo prioridades, así como seguir estando preparados para cualquier nuevo inicio o propagación de incendios. Todos los incendios se están gestionando con una estrategia de supresión total. 

Restricciones contra incendios: Siguen vigentes las restricciones sobre incendios. Fuegos de campamento están prohibidas en todo el Bosque Nacional de Gifford Pinchot; sólo se permiten las hogueras de propano, las estufas y las linternas. Encontrará más información en el sitio web del bosque en Gifford Pinchot National Forest - Fire Management (usda.gov). La decisión de levantar o mantener las restricciones contra incendios depende de factores como las condiciones meteorológicas actuales y previstas, la humedad del combustible, el nivel de actividad del incendio y la disponibilidad de recursos de extinción para responder a nuevas igniciones. 

Cierres: En previsión de la actividad del fuego en curso en las proximidades del Snagtooth Fire las siguientes carreteras y senderos están cerrados al público para reducir la exposición y ayudar a garantizar la seguridad pública y de los bomberos: Carreteras forestales 9300 y 9341, Boundary Trail #1 (desde Elk Pass hasta la intersección con Summit Prairie), Summit Prairie #2, Craggy Peak #3, Snagtooth #4, Quartz #5, Stabler Camp #17, Wright Meadows #80, Basin Camp #3A, Quartz #5B, Quartz #5C (French Creek), Snyder Pasture #80A. La carretera forestal 8410 está cerrada para los bomberos y la seguridad pública en las inmediaciones del incendio de Pothole, y la carretera forestal 78 está cerrada temporalmente entre el cruce de la 78 y la 22 debido a los escombros peligrosos que ruedan por la calzada. 

Restricciones Temporales de Vuelo: Hay dos TFR en vigor, uno situado al norte de la US-12 hasta el Parque Nacional del Monte Rainier, y un nuevo TFR al sur de la US-12 para incluir los incendios de Snagtooth y Spencer Quartz. Si una aeronave no autorizada entra en el TFR, la respuesta de la aviación al incendio se interrumpe o se retrasa. Las restricciones temporales de vuelo también se aplican a los sistemas de aeronaves no tripuladas o drones. Más información: Know Before You Fly.
