Tamaño: 87,739 total/ 11,302 en Oregón                                             

Fecha de inicio:  15 de agosto de 2023

Ubicación: Grants Pass, OR

Contención: 32%

Personal total: 1,715 para el complejo

Causa: Rayo

Recursos: 41 equipos   11 helicópteros   67 camiones de bomberos   14 buldóceres   26 tanques de agua   15 trituradoras   2 excavadoras
 

Ayer: Ayer por la tarde se emitió una advertencia de bandera roja que estuvo vigente hasta hoy a las 8 de la mañana para la zona al noroeste del complejo norte de Smith River. No se detectaron nuevos focos y el perímetro del incendio se mantuvo sin crecimiento. El aumento del humo en la zona se debe al consumo de combustibles dentro del perímetro del incendio.

Actividades de hoy:  El clima caliente y seco se mantendrá hasta el fin de semana, pero los vientos serán más ligeros. Es posible que aumente la actividad del incendio y que consuma combustibles dentro del área del mismo. Las trituradoras trabajan en la línea de control secundaria al oeste del incendio, a lo largo de la carretera Forest Road 1106, tanto al norte como al sur. Los equipos en la esquina noroeste del incendio siguen abriendo camino, solo les falta media milla hasta Forest Road 112 para completar ese tramo de la línea. Después, el trabajo se concentrará en profundizar la línea para asegurar la contención. Asimismo, del lado este del incendio, los equipos completaron la línea en la División K, y gracias a esto alcanzaron una contención de 32%. Las partes de la línea solo se consideran “contenidas” cuando se completaron los trabajos para retirar combustibles, se comenzó la neutralización, y los gestores del incendio están muy seguros de que la línea de contención resistirá si se enfrenta a condiciones climáticas adversas o al incendio.

Cierres vehiculares y retrasos: A partir de hoy, jueves, 14 de septiembre, Caltrans en el condado Del Norte tendrá un horario de cierre de camino y restricciones de canales en la carretera US-199. Las fuerzas de seguridad locales recomiendan evitar cualquier traslado no esencial en esta vía. Los programas y aplicaciones de navegación han llevado a los viajeros a zonas activas del incendio. No utilice los caminos del bosque para las rutas alternativas. Para tener más información sobre las condiciones de las carreteras, consulte el mapa de Caltrans https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ y la página del Departamento de transporte de Oregón https://www.tripcheck.com/.

Cierres: El Bosque Nacional Rogue River-Siskiyou emitió una orden de cierre para un corredor de 400 yardas de ancho a lo largo de las carreteras Forest Road 1106 (al sur de Elk Mountain Road), Forest Road 1205 (Lower Wheeler Road) y Forest Road 1983 (Mt. Emily Road) desde hoy, 14 de septiembre, hasta el 31 de octubre de 2023. Este cierre permite realizar con seguridad las operaciones asociadas al complejo norte de Smith River. Visite bit.ly/RRSNFAlerts o https://www.blm.gov/orwafire para tener más información.

Evacuaciones: A partir del lunes 11 de septiembre, el sheriff del condado de Josephine emitió una orden en la que reduce el nivel de evacuación a Nivel 1-ESTAR PREPARADO para la zona al este de la carretera US-199, desde el poste de la milla 39 hasta la frontera entre Oregón/California. Consulte la página de gestión de incidencias de Rogue Valley y suscríbase para recibir alertas de evacuación y actualizaciones en https://rvem.org/. Aquí también podrá encontrar un mapa interactivo de primera respuesta al incendio con las zonas de evacuación.

Humo: Las comunidades cerca de O'Brien seguirán recibiendo la mayor parte del impacto del humo el día de hoy. Hoy, las columnas visibles de humo se despejarán hacia abajo desde la US-199 hacia la ciudad de Crescent, y esta tarde reaparecerá una condición de aire MUY NOCIVO entre O'Brien y Selma. El pronóstico de humo para esta zona está disponible en https://bit.ly/SWORsmoke

Restricciones: Agradecemos que respecte la Restricción temporal de vuelo (TFR, en inglés) vigente para el complejo de Smith River. Mantenga a los drones lejos de las operaciones de extinción y de la zona de TFR. Si usted vuela, nosotros no podemos hacerlo. ¡No sea responsable de suspender una misión contra incendio! Para tener más información sobre la TFR visite https://tfr.faa.gov/.

This morning, Great Basin Incident Management Team (IMT) 4 took command of the fire.  Team 4 will continue to support the firefighters assigned to both the Flat and Anvil Fires while working with the local land management and fire suppression agencies to ensure the safety of the public and firefighters.  Objectives include full fire containment while minimizing adverse impacts to cultural, recreational, natural resources, watershed, wilderness, wildlife habitat, and local business concerns.

Anvil Fire

Size: 1,433 acres                            

Start Date:  August 25, 2023      

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

Total personnel:  351    

Resources:  11 crews, 3 helicopters, 6 engines

Yesterday firefighters continued their efforts to protect area residences by digging firelines and preparing hoses and pumps used to protect homes if the fire approaches them.  Morning winds out of the north shifted to the northeast by afternoon, when gusts reached up to 25 mph on ridgetops.   Heavy smoke was visible over the Port Orford area as fire activity increased on the north and west sides of the fire.

Helicopters dropped approximately 49,000 gallons of water on the fire yesterday to support fire crews working on the ground. Increased afternoon winds prevented flying later in the day and helicopters were set down for safety.  Firefighters worked late into the night as the fire continued to burn actively due to low overnight humidity.  In the valleys, humidity is higher and the winds have not been as strong, which has led to less fire activity at lower elevations.

Evacuations:  A Level 3 “Go“ evacuation status was initiated this morning along Elk River Road from milepost 4 to the Butler Bar Campground by the Curry County Sheriff.  The Sheriff assigned a Level 2 “Get Set“ evacuation yesterday from Edson Creek Campground to Sixes River Campground, about 16 miles east of U.S. Highway 101, on Sixes River Road.  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:  308     

Resources:  4 crews, 3 helicopters, 11 engines

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:  A Red Flag Warning, an indication of weather that could contribute to large fire growth, is in effect in the fire area through noon today. Ridgetop winds are expected to be 15-20 mph with gusts to 25 mph.  Atmospheric instability may lead to increased fire behavior this afternoon.  Cooler temperatures and increase chances for moisture are possible by the weekend.

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

Area and Road Closures:  The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest (RRSNF) has issued a closure order for the Anvil Fire (06-10-28-23-63). Please drive slowly and with headlights on through any fire area.  Heavy equipment and firefighter transportation vehicles are using the area highways and roads as well. Visit https://bit.ly/RRSNFAlerts for closure information. Check www.tripcheck.com in Oregon and www.quickmap.dot.ca.go in California for current road closures and safe detours as these are changing frequently. Do not use forest roads for alternate routes.

Restrictions:  The RRSNF fire danger is high and the Industrial Fire Precaution is at Level 2. Public Use Restrictions (PUR) remain at Stage 3 across the forest and on the Wild Section of the Rogue National Wild and Scenic River. Visit https://bit.ly/RRSNFAlerts for more information. There is a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the fire areas. Please do not fly unmanned aircraft (drones) in the fire vicinity.

Aviso Especial
...Cálido y seco hasta el fin de semana... Es posible quehaya más humo para el viernes dependiendo de la actividadde los incendios.

Fuego
La continua combustión lenta alrededor y dentro de los incendios Chilcoot y Cougar es responsable del deterioro de la calidad del aire principalmente en las proximidades y al
sur de los incendios. Se pronostican condiciones inusualmente más cálidas y secas para el próximo fin de semana, lo que podría aumentar el potencial de incendios y humo en la región. Se pueden encontrar detalles adicionales sobre los incendios en Tyee Ridge y otros incendios en Inciweb.

Humo
Los vientos se volverán del norte al este esta tarde, lo que provocará un ligero humo o bruma en Garden Valley, al norte de Roseburg y en el corredor I-5 del condado de Douglas. En todo el este del condado de Douglas, la calidad del aire será BUENA. Las condiciones cálidas y secas pueden aumentar la actividad de incendios en el área local, así como en la región en general durante el fin de semana. Monitoree la calidad del aire visitando el Mapa de Incendios y Humo. Pronóstico del ICA* para el jueves Ayer mié

Pronostico de clima cálido para hoy

UMPQUA, Ore.: Las líneas de control se mantuvieron el miércoles a medida que el calor y los vientos en la zona de Tyee Ridge Complex aumentó la visibilidad del fuego y del humo. La mayor parte de la actividad del incendio se mantuvo dentro de los perímetros del mismo. 

Hoy, el clima cálido seguirá poniendo a prueba las líneas de control en todo el complejo debido a las altas temperaturas y a la baja humedad. Greg Wagonblast, analista de incendios del incidente, declaró que: “Hoy la madre naturaleza nos va a echar una mano al mostrarnos esas zonas de calor que no habíamos podido ver estos últimos días”. Los bomberos continuarán las actividades de neutralización para reducir el calor y el fuego cerca de las líneas de control.
