A community meeting will be held tonight at 7 PM at the Sixes Grange Hall and broadcast live on Facebook.  Fire managers and local agency representatives will share information and answer questions about the Anvil and Flat Fires.

Anvil Fire

Size: 4,438 acres                            

Start Date:  August 25, 2023      

Location:  8 miles east of Port Orford, OR
Containment:  0%         

Total personnel:  353                  

Resources:  9 crews, 4 helicopters, 13 engines

Gusty winds pushed the Anvil Fire to the south and west starting Wednesday afternoon and continuing throughout the night, prompting the Curry County Sheriff’s Office to issue a Level 3 – Go advisory for residents on the Elk River Road from Mile Post 4 to Butler Bar Campground early Thursday morning. Fire managers also responded by shifting several resources from the Flat Fire to the Anvil Fire where they were needed based on the fire activity.

When sparks from the main fire ignited a spot fire across Elk River, firefighters, a dozer, and helicopters responded aggressively. Crews worked through the night to contain the spot fire, while other firefighters installed pumps and hoses near structures and built fireline in strategic locations near the perimeter of the Anvil Fire. When smoke cleared Thursday, helicopters dropped another 42,000 gallons of water to support fire crews working on the ground.

Evacuations:  A Level 3 “Go“ evacuation status is in place along Elk River Road from milepost 4 to the Butler Bar Campground by the Curry County Sheriff.  There are Level 2 “Get Set“ evacuations in place from from the intersection of U.S. Highway 101 and Elk River to milepost 4 on Elk River Road and on Sixes River Road Edson Creek Campground, about 16 miles east of U.S. Highway 101.  Sign up for Curry Co. emergency alerts at https://bit.ly/CurryCoEM.

Flat Fire

Size:  34,242 acres           

Start Date:  July 15, 2023              

Location:  2 miles southeast of Agness, OR

Containment:  75%         

Total personnel:  92                     

Resources:  2 helicopters

Heavy equipment and hand crews continue to repair firelines that were created as contingency containment lines for the fire.  Much of the work has been completed, which will allow equipment to begin repairing the primary fire containment lines.  The winds this week have not caused any fire growth on the Flat Fire.  Although some smoke may be visible, it is generally from internal pockets of unburned vegetation.  Fire managers will continue to monitor this activity and respond as appropriate to prevent additional fire spread while also ensuring firefighter safety.

Evacuations:  A Level 1 “Get Ready” evacuation status is in place for areas near the Flat Fire.  

General Information

Weather:  Area weather varied wildly yesterday. Temperatures ranged from mild 60s in Gold Beach while Agness charted 103 degrees. Winds on the ridgetops gusted to 25 mph as lower elevations received only light breezes. Cooler temperatures predicted for this weekend may provide a brief period of more advantageous weather conditions. Very warm temperatures, dry air, and light winds are predicted today; the weekend will be cooler with higher humidity.

Smoke:  Visit https://fire.airnow.gov/ for current smoke and air quality updates.

Friday, September 15, 2023

WEATHER: Hot and dry conditions persist today, with high temperatures slightly warmer than yesterday. A slow cooling and moistening trend will begin tomorrow as northwest winds develop through the afternoon. There is a slight chance (15%) of afternoon thunderstorms both tomorrow and Sunday.

FIRE BEHAVIOR: Backing and flanking fire movement with isolated torching will occur due to topography and changes in live fuel moisture, especially in areas of standing dead fuel. Firefighters will continue to monitor for heat and potential spotting. Brief winds in the afternoon may increase fire activity.

WEST SIDE OVERVIEW (ACRES/CONTAINMENT): Elliot (12,835 acres, 51%),

UFish (6,754 acres, 33%), Hancock (1,740 acres, 100%).

On the UFish Fire, the fire crossed the Titus Creek drainage in multiple areas, resulting in low-intensity burning due to heavy fuels and snags. Today, resources will focus efforts on securing Windy Pass. On the Elliot Fire, crews are monitoring the Dillon Creek area on the southwest perimeter, looking for areas of heat and reinforcing direct line around the fire. Resource Advisors continue to work with crews to determine and implement appropriate suppression repairs.

EAST SIDE OVERVIEW (ACRES/CONTAINMENT): Head (6,942 acres, 100%),

Townsend (81 acres, 100%), Den (294 acres, 100%), Scott (1,886 acres,

100%), Lake (200, acres, 100%), Kings (2 acres, 100%)

Suppression repair work was completed on the Scott Fire yesterday and continues today on the Head Fire. Hazard tree removal in the Scott Bar corridor and clean-up work along the Klamath River are ongoing. All fires on the east side of the Complex continue to be patrolled by infrared flights, as needed, to detect residual heat in the fire areas.

Due to fires on the Six Rivers Lighting Complex, the Happy Camp Complex, and additional fire activity occurring as far away as the Canadian region, increased smoke can be expected in Happy Camp, Seiad Valley, and surrounding communities. For more information on the Six Rivers Lightning Complex, go to http://www.linktr.ee/srffirepio.

EVACUATIONS: View current Siskiyou County evacuation orders and warnings by visiting https://community.zonehaven.com. Siskiyou County residents are encouraged to sign up for rapid emergency notifications using the CodeRED emergency alert system at: https://bit.ly/SiskiyouCodeRedEmergencyAlert.

CLOSURES AND DELAYS:

• One-way traffic control is possible on Highway 96, 11.7 miles east of Scott River Rd to 13.7 miles east of Scott River Rd and from 0.4 miles west of Scott River Rd to 2.2 miles east of Scott River Rd. Motorists can expect delays in this area. For more information: https://roads.dot.ca.gov/.

Northwest Team 6 is managing five fires in the area. In addition to the two fires listed in this update NW Team 6 is managing the Brice, Dinner, and Grizzly Fires further north on the Umpqua National Forest.

Chilcoot Fire: Size: 1,769 acres | Start Date: August 24, 2023 | Cause: Lightning | Containment: 50%

Yesterday, Unstaffed Aerial Systems (UAS)/drones were flown using an infrared camera over the fire to help firefighters locate hot spots close to the fire perimeter. Although the fire was more active, drier weather did not cause significant fire spread and remains within control lines. Resources have successfully finished their work on contingency lines and will be moved to assist crews strengthening control lines closer to the fire’s edge. Helicopters were used over the fire to drop water, slowing fire activity, and assisting crews on the ground.

Drier weather will test control lines today but crews will be placed strategically around the fire to slow any fire spread. Firefighters are continuing to extinguish hot spots using hand tools to smother heat with dirt, and using water from engines, water tenders, and helicopters to cool heat.

Ridge Fire: Size:  219 acres | Start Date: August 25, 2023 | Cause: Lightning | Containment: 95%

Firefighters have been successful in suppression efforts on the Ridge Fire and it is now in patrol status. Two fire engines will remain ready to engage if fire activity increases.

Weather: Hot and dry weather will continue the next few days with today being the hottest and driest day. Winds with an easterly component early in the morning are expected to shift during the day to west to northwest and pick up slightly on ridgetops in the afternoon. Higher peaks could experience winds closer to 10 mph.

Smoke: Smoke outlooks are available at https://outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net/outlook/467b8c16?

Safety and Closures:  There is a forest closure for portions of the Umpqua National Forest in response to fire activity in the area to protect public and wildland firefighter safety. A Closure Order for the Canton Creek area has been issued by Bureau of Land Management (BLM): Chilcoot Ridge Fire Emergency Closure Order BLM Roseburg District. There is a Temporary Flight Restriction over these fires.

Size: 2,047 acres

Containment: 44%

Total personnel: 463

Updated phone number for Camp Creek Fire information: 971-334-7674

Current Situation: The Camp Creek fire remains within established firelines. Fire crews have been working to prepare and secure firelines to keep the fire as small as possible, and much of the line preparation and construction work is nearing completion.  

Representatives of the Incident Management Team will be stationed at the following locations today through Sunday to provide fire updates and answer questions:

• Friday (9/15): Hoodland Thriftway in Welches, 1 – 6 p.m.
• Saturday (9/16): Hoodland Thriftway in Welches, 1 – 5 p.m. &  Jonsrud Viewpoint, 1 – 5 p.m.
• Sunday (9/17): Hoodland Thriftway in Welches, OR, 1 – 4 p.m. & Jonsrud Viewpoint, 1 – 4 p.m.

Today’s Activities: Today firefighters will continue suppression actions throughout the fire area. They will be holding the fire within established lines, continuing mop up operations, and chipping or hauling away vegetation debris created from fireline preparation. Crews will also be falling hazard trees that pose a threat to firefighters conducting these operations. At the eastern edge of the fire, there continues to be little to no fire growth. Firefighters are prepared to implement firing operations to secure the fireline east of the fire, if needed. Aerial resources are also prepared to deliver water in support of operations as needed.

Weather: With warmer and drier conditions forecast for today and into the weekend, more smoke is expected in the vicinity of the Camp Creek fire.  During the early morning hours smoke will settle into the valleys and is expected to lift in the afternoon. Little to no perimeter growth is anticipated with these weather conditions and seasonally normal conditions are expected to return on Monday.

Smoke: Current smoke outlook: https://outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net/outlook/2c7a8f9b 

Closures: Barlow Wayside Park and the Sandy Ridge Recreation Site are temporarily closed due to fire activity. Clackamas County residents can sign up at https://www.clackamas.us/dm/publicalerts to receive emergency alerts via email, phone, or text.

Restrictions: A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is issued over the fire area. It is illegal for the public to fly drones over or near wildfires because of the potential for accidents and disruption of suppression operations. Regardless of the fire, aircraft is not permitted to fly over the Bull Run watershed.

Fire Update

2023 SRF Lightning Complex & Redwood Lightning Complex

Friday, September 15, 2023 – 9:00 a.m.

Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team 1

Dan Dallas, Incident Commander

Information Phone: 530-536-0767

Email: 2023.lightningcomplex@firenet.gov

Information Staffing Hours: 8 am to 8 pm

Special Notes: Having completed our 14-day assignment on the 2023 SRF Lightning Complex and Redwood Lightning Complex, the Rocky Mountain CIMT1 will transfer command of the 2023 SRF Lightning Complex to the Eastern Area Type 2 Gold Team at 7:00 am Saturday morning. The contained Redwood Lightning Complex will be transferred back to the Redwood National and State Parks at that time. The Rocky Mountain team is grateful for the hospitality and cooperation of local communities, agencies, and the Yurok, Karuk, and Hoopa Tribes during our stay here.

This update covers 8 of the 20 fires being managed as part of the Complexes. The remaining 12 fires are listed in the accompanying Complex Overview. Those fires, totaling 2,486 acres, are contained and in patrol status. They are checked daily, and their size and containment are unlikely to change.

Current Situation: The 20 fires in this incident total 21,270 acres and overall containment is 16%. The 8 uncontained fires described below total 18,784 acres. These fires are all in Six Rivers National Forest. In total, 948 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 (5927 acres, 9% contained) – Crews continue to patrol completed firelines and mop up and secure the fire perimeter on the south and west sides of the fire. Structure Groups are present on the fire during both day and night shifts in the event they are needed. Yesterday, the Structure Group conducted point protection drills as training to ensure they are ready if called upon. No firing occurred on the Pearch fire again yesterday as the Firing Group focuses on Bluff #1 and Mosquito Fires at this time. 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’s.

Bluff #1 (2544 acres, 16% contained) and Mosquito (3196 acres, 15% contained) Fires – Strategic firing operations continued on these fires yesterday using the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS or drone)  and hand ignition. Helicopters were not used due to smokey conditions. Fuels on the south end of Bluff #1 Fire were cleaned up with firing by the UAS. Crews conducted hand ignition along the Bluff Creek Road north of the fire to widen control lines in preparation for future aerial firing.

On the Mosquito Fire, crews extended the hand ignition along Cedar Camp Road further to the north as the UAS was concurrently used to ignite fuels along a ridgetop west of the road.

Crews were held on the fires later in the evening to evaluate the success of the firing operations and ensure the fires remained where intended. A night shift of engines remained on the fires throughout the nighttime hours. Firing operations will continue near Bluff #1 and Mosquito Fires today, conditions permitting. 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 (3888 acres, 0% contained), Marlow (1673 acres, 0% contained), and Copper (1471 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, which was expected. Yesterday, an 8-person Wildland Fire Module was inserted into the fire area to 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: Hot and dry conditions will continue today as strong ridging remains overhead. Winds will be mostly terrain driven with light NE downslope winds at night and W winds in the afternoons. Up-canyon winds 10-15 mph will develop this afternoon and evening in larger valleys. Highs will be in the mid to upper 90s in the valleys and mid 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

15 de septiembre de 2023

Situación actual: El Complejo Cowlitz está contenido en un 25%, con un total de 679 acres y 334 personal. Los helicópteros lanzaron agua sobre el incendio de Grassy Mountain, lo que produjo un aumento del humo en la zona. Hubo humo adicional de los incendios Snagtooth y Spencer Quartz, y los helicópteros fueron desplegados para lanzar agua sobre los incendios también. El aumento de la actividad del fuego se debió a una tendencia de calentamiento y secado que se espera hasta el sábado. Las cuadrillas siguen mejorando y construyendo líneas para evitar que los incendios lleguen a las comunidades. No se prevé que la actividad actual del fuego amenace a la comunidad más cercana de Randle, Washington.

Ver foto adjunta: Un helicóptero realizando uno de los muchos viajes repetidos de ida y vuelta del incendio Grassy Mountain al río Cowlitz para recoger agua.

Entrenamiento Firewise: There will be a free Firewise training this Saturday, September 16 from 10 am to 12 pm at the Packwood Main Fire Station on State Highway 12.

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.

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 incendio Snagtooth 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 7802 y el cruce 2278 debido a los escombros peligrosos que ruedan hacia 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.

Aviso Especial

...Inusualmente cálido y seco hasta el fin de semana... Es
posible que haya más humo dependiendo de la actividad en
los incendios.

Special Statement

...Unseasonably Warm and Dry into this Weekend... More
smoke is possible depending on fire activity

Lookout/Horse Creek/Pothole/Bedrock Fires

September 15, 2023 - Morning Update

Lookout: Total Personnel: 618 | Size: 24,644 acres l Start Date: August 5, 2023 l Cause: Lightning l Containment: 50%

Resources: 25 engines l 12 crews l 6 bulldozers l 23 water tenders l 5 masticators l 3 helicopters l 2 skidders

The Lookout Fire experienced pockets of increased mild to moderate fire activity due to the warmer temperatures and lower humidity levels in the region.  Crews strengthened and tested the primary and alternate containment lines and equipment.  Foot and vehicle patrols continue to be vigilant while monitoring any active pockets of fire.

Horse Creek: Total Personnel: 63 |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

Horse Creek Fire resources were able to further their efforts mitigating hazards around the containment lines, like fire-weakened trees.  These danger trees limit their ability to safely begin the suppression repair process on the forest roads and infrastructure. 

Pothole: Total Personnel: 17 |Size: 109 acres l Start Date: August 25, 2023 l Cause: Lightning l Containment: 90% Resources: 1 engine l 1 water tender | 1 excavator

Pothole Fire is in a similar status as Horse Creek with ongoing patrolling and monitoring of containment lines. Crews will begin the process of removing woody material from roadsides and fire lines while shifting to more suppression repair activities.

Bedrock: Total Personnel: 159 | Size: 31,590 acres l Start Date: July 22, 2023 l Cause: under investigation l Containment: 90%

Resources: 5 engines l 4 crews l 3 bulldozers l 16 water tenders l 3 masticators l 3 helicopters l 1 skidder

Bedrock Fire has ongoing suppression repair activity around the fires perimeter, utilizing heavy equipment, chippers, and wood processors along the roads removing the woody material like downed logs and brush piles. There was very minimal smoke presenting or notable fire activity.

All Fires:  With the higher temperatures and dryer relative humidifies in the incoming days, there will be an increase in smoke generated from interior portions of the Bedrock and Lookout fires, as well as other fires still burning in the region, such as the Pete’s Lake Fire.  Many areas in the McKenzie corridor will likely experience an inversion layer of smoke early in the morning until the lifting influence of winds clears them out from drainages and valley bottoms.

Weather: Today the fire will experience a continued warming and drying trend with a light easterly flow that will last into the weekend over the fire area in both the day and night time.  Expect elevated temperatures and lower relative humidity with the potential for critical fire weather conditions into Saturday, with highs in the upper 80s.  There will potentially be increased smoke present from not only the Lookout Fire, but also other fires in the surrounding regions of the Central and West Cascades.   

Evacuation Update

Linn County Evacuations: For the Lookout and Horse Creek fires, the Linn County Sheriff Offices announced an Evacuation Alert change.  For updated information visit https://www.linnsheriff.org/wildfire_live_updates

La prevención de incendios es crítica a medida que persisten las altas temperaturas

UMPQUA, Ore.: La contención alrededor del complejo aumentó a 70%, y la mayor parte del mismo se encuentra en condición de patrullaje. Sin embargo, hoy es el tercer día en el que experimentaremos temperaturas altas y poca humedad relativa, que pondrán a pruebas las líneas de control. 

Greg Wagonblast, analista de comportamiento de incendios del incidente, declaró: “Los equipos reciben un A+ en los dos primeros de los tres días de prueba”. Una fuerte capa termal, altas temperaturas y baja humedad relativa provocaron un aumento de la actividad del incendio con fuego activo dentro del perímetro del incendio.
