SWIMT2 toma el mando del Smith River Complex South 

Aspectos destacados: Se llevará a cabo una reunión comunitaria para el Smith River Complex – Sur, mañana viernes 1 de Septiembre a las 6 p.m. en Del Norte Fairgrounds, Arts and Crafts Building, 421 US 101, Crescent City. Una transmisión en vivo de la reunión estará disponible en la página de Facebook del Bosque Nacional Six Rivers. https://www.facebook.com/SixRiversNF (no se necesita cuenta para ver esta transmisión en vivo). 

Hoy, a las 7:00 a. m., el Equipo 2 de Manejo de Incidentes del Área Suroeste (SWAIMT2), liderado por el Comandante de Incidentes Dave Bales, asumió el mando del Complejo Smith River - Zona Sur del Equipo 15 de Manejo de Incidentes Interinstitucional de California. Los equipos de manejo se reunieron ayer para comenzar la transición formal y revisar el plan estratégico de respuesta y protección vigente para el incendio. Los objetivos del incidente continúan incluyendo la seguridad pública y de los bomberos, así como la protección de la propiedad, la infraestructura y otros valores en riesgo, incluida la madera y las cuencas hidrográficas. 

Operaciones/Clima: Como se predijo, ayer los vientos en las elevaciones superiores fueron fuertes. Estos vientos estuvieron acompañados de un aire más seco que provocó que los valores de humedad relativa en las cimas de las crestas cayeran a alrededor del 25%. Estas condiciones causaron que el flanco sur del incendio Kelly y el lado este del incendio Coon se fusionaran. Los bomberos trabajaron duro para asegurar un derrame sobre el lado este de la carretera 405 utilizando aviones y helicópteros. Los recursos contaron con suficiente personal en todas las líneas de control alrededor de Gasquet y continuaron patrullando y asegurando cualquier área caliente que potencialmente pudiera amenazar la contención. Aunque todavía hay fuego activo sobre Gasquet, permanece en el lado este del río North Fork Smith. Esta característica natural es el control principal planificado para esta parte del incendio Kelly. El incendio Hurdy Gurdy también permanece activo en el flanco occidental a medida que retrocede en un terreno áspero sobre Hurdy Gurdy Creek. Se espera un clima favorable para el resto de la semana a medida que la humedad regresa rápidamente antes de que se acerque un frente frío y una vaguada en el noroeste del Pacífico. La posibilidad de lluvia continúa el viernes y sábado y se esperan lluvias húmedas localizadas sobre el complejo de incendios. 

Seguridad: Se espera niebla intensa durante todo el día; continúe teniendo precaución en las carreteras debido al aumento del tráfico de bomberos. 

Restricciones/Cierres: Los cierres se ajustarán según la actividad del incendio. 

Humo: La información sobre la calidad del aire está disponible en https://www.airnow.gov/ 

Evacuaciones: Todas las órdenes de evacuación son emitidas por la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Del Norte. Si se encuentra en el área del condado de Del Norte, regístrese en su Sistema de alerta comunitaria para recibir notificaciones de emergencia. Niveles de evacuación al 27 de agosto a las 8:00 a. m., como sigue: 

Nivel 3 “Vaya ahora”: Patrick Creek, Little Jones Creek, Copper Creek Drainage, Coon Creek/ 16n19 17n07, Washington Flat, Pioneer Road, Panther Flat Campground Area, todas las comunidades entre Slant Bridge Road al norte hasta la frontera de Oregón a lo largo de la autopista 199, French Hill Camino. 

Nivel 2 “Prepárese”: División baja, División alta, Rowdy Creek, Big Flat/Rock Creek

Fire Size: 1,969 acres
Containment: 0%
Total Personnel: 403

Weather and Fire Behavior:
Light rain is forecasted through today, amounting to approximately 0.5 inches with a 50% chance of continued showers tomorrow. Relative humidity continues to be high, ranging from 60-70% through tomorrow. The light westerly wind is expected to continue throughout the week.

The fire is continuing to smolder and creep along moss and forest duff, with layers of the duff reaching six to eight feet deep. Pockets of flames can be seen in areas where the terrain is steep or exposed to more sun and wind. Fire weakened trees and snags continue to be a major hazard for firefighters when they fall suddenly and without warning.

Operations:
On the north flank crews have strategically burned small pockets of vegetation between Forest Road 12 and the fire’s edge. This will reduce the amount of available fire fuels along the fire’s perimeter to work towards containment of the fire. Today, crews will be working to create a dozerline and handlines along the northeast corner to the west edge of the fire in order to mitigate for fire spread in upper end of Camp Creek.

Because of more favorable weather conditions, air resources were able fly the fire starting around 2 p.m. yesterday. However, in the afternoon, aircraft were grounded due to a report of an unapproved drone flying in the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) area of the fire. They continued operations once the airspace was determined safe for pilots to fly.

Remote water sampling equipment suggests that a small amount of fire retardant entered into a tributary of Bull Creek during initial attack operations on August 25th.  Detection levels were very low and have declined back to normal as stream flow and additional precipitation diluted the water. Portland Water Bureau and Mt. Hood National Forest continue to monitor water quality, gather information, and minimize impacts of firefighting efforts to the watershed.  Bull Run Watershed is an immense ‘value at risk’ in the Camp Creek Fire; fire managers used retardant during initial attack to keep the fire as small as possible to reduce the likelihood of impacts to water quality from wildfire.

The Bull Run water treatment facility has been well protected through fire management mitigation by the Portland Fire Department and Division P crews. Fire personnel working in Division P (on the south side of the fire) will be spiking out near U.S. HWY 26. “Spiking out” is a term referred to camping in a remote area rather than returning to the main incident base camp each evening. This is a common practice when there are long drive times and is an example of a mitigation to provide for crew safety. The crews working in this area will focus on placing hoses and water along the south edge of the fire in order to to give them a water source to use on the fire.

Today, information officers will be staged at the Jonsrud Lookout from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and Safeway from 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. in Sandy, OR, to share updates and answer questions.

Tyee Ridge Complex Grows Overnight

Umpqua, Ore. – The Tyee Ridge Complex grew approximately 1,900 acres in the last 24 hours. Firefighters continued to be engaged with active fire behavior. Overnight, crews made progress with strengthening lines, responding to spot fires, and mitigating hazards. Personnel in the Hardscrabble, Blue Hole, Yellow Point, and Big Tom Fires continued to secure fire perimeters and perform mop up. As the Cougar Creek fire approached Cougar Creek, pushing to the south, crews worked to prevent the fire from reaching Cougar Creek Road. On the eastern perimeter of the Lighthouse Fire, firing operations occurred and line was established to the south. Coordination between Oregon Department of Forestry wildland resources and Oregon State Fire Marshal structural task forces continued to protect homes on Hubbard Creek Road and prepared structures, creating defensible space, in the Briarwood Road area.

Today, cooler temperatures are expected and there is potential for rain during day operations. This change in weather will provide firefighters an opportunity to take a direct approach on spot fires, and securing the fire perimeter to minimize the footprint, and establish new lines. Fuels remain dry under heavy tree canopy where some isolated torching may occur. Seventeen aircraft remain available to support ground resources including Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATs) and helicopters. Today’s crews will work aggressively to take advantage of the favorable conditions. Firefighters to the north of the complex will continue to mop up and hold the line, entering patrol status in certain locations. Structure protection continues to be a priority on Hubbard Creek Road and point protection operations are taking place in the Briarwood Road area.

Evacuation notices were updated by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office yesterday. An estimated 197 persons have evacuated. The Red Cross shelter for evacuees is now located at The Way Church of Sutherlin located at 1352 E. Central Ave. in Sutherlin, OR. To shelter livestock, contact Douglas County Animal Control at 541-440-4471. Companion pets can be sheltered at Saving Grace Pet Adoption Center in Roseburg.

Información al día para el Incendio Smith River Complex North, jueves, 31 de agosto, 2023

GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Los bomberos siguen progresando en el establecimiento de líneas de incendio con el objetivo de proteger la comunidad de Illinois Valley y detener la propagación del Incendio Smith River Complex North. El Ranger para el Distrito de Wild River, expreso lo siguiente: “Estamos trabajando de una manera agresiva para suprimir completamente este Incendio”.

Dependiendo si los vientos son favorables, las operaciones de tácticas de quemas estarán realizándose día y noche con la ayuda del servicio aéreo. Táctica de quemas se refiere a una estrategia de ignición realizada por un grupo de expertos y bajo condiciones controladas para brindar el perímetro del incendio a una determinada característica avanzada de contención. De esta manera se logra detener que el fuego se propague más lejos al consumir hojarasca y vegetación seca. Generalmente los matorrales y los árboles permanecen intactos. La fuerza de trabajo del Jefe de Bomberos en el Estado de Oregon (OSFM) continua expandiendo espacios defendibles alrededor de la infraestructura en peligro, protegiéndola de marcas del fuego o brasas.

Marcas de fuego son pedazos pequeños de vegetación encendida tales como ramas de menor tamaño u hojas que pueden ser acarreadas por el viento a través de un fuego. Después de que oscurezca, el grupo de trabajo OSFM estará conduciendo patrullajes en el perímetro, observando cualquier inicio de incendio y apoyando a los recursos en tierra si es necesario.

Los vientos provenientes del Noreste han estado empujando el incendio hacia su lugar de origen durante los últimos días. Sim embargo, se espera un cambio para este fin de semana en donde el viento estará originándose desde el lado Suroeste. Se pronostica un clima fresco y lluvia cuantificable para este fin de semana, lo cual reducirá la actividad incendiaria, pero no lo suficiente como para extinguirlo el incendio completamente.

Un Nivel de Evacuación 3 – SALGA permanece en pie para el Hwy. 199 al sur de O’Brien extendiéndose desde la milla 38 hasta la línea estatal. Un Nivel de Evacuación 2 – LISTOS ha sido emitido para O’Brien y el área de Takilma. Un Nivel de Evacuación 1 – PREPARESE fue dictado para el área al Norte de Cave Junction. La Cruz Roja Americana abrió un centro de albergue localizado dentro de Rogue Community College en Grants Pass. Los recursos pecuarios (ganado) pueden guarecerse en el Fairgrounds de Josephine County.

Debido a la incrementación en la actividad del incendio, se aconseja al público en general que revisen el sitio para el Manejo de Emergencia de Rogue Valley: https://rvem.org para información actualizada acerca de las evacuaciones. Asimismo, podrán encontrar un mapa señalando las áreas de Respuestas Iniciales de incendio.

El Bosque Nacional de Rogue River-Siskiyou ha implementado una Orden de Cierre de área y carretera para el Incendio Smith River Complex. Para mayor information, visite: https://tinyurl.com/2s4hymku. La Oficina para el Manejo de Tierras (BLM) en Coos Bay ha anunciado un Cierre de Emergencia de tierras publicas cercanas a la frontera de Oregon/California.

Petes Lake Fire Update – August 31, 2023 – 10:00 a.m. 

Deschutes National Forest and Willamette National Forest 

Fire Information: (541) 801-3564    Email: 2023.Peteslake@firenet.gov 

Inciweb: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident-information/orwif-petes-lake-fire 

Facebook: www.facebook.com/PetesLakeFireInfo 

Resources: 173 Total Personnel | 3 Hand Crews | 1 Dozer | 4 Helicopters | 6 Engines 

Central Oregon – The Petes Lake Fire was started by a lightning strike on Friday, August 25, along the border of the McKenzie River Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest and the Bend Fort-Rock Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest in the Mink Lake Basin area of the Three Sisters Wilderness. The fire is burning five miles west of Elk Lake and is 318 acres in size. An overnight infrared flight has resulted in more accurate mapping data.  

The Petes Lake Fire is burning in a rugged and difficult-to-access Wilderness area and although smoke jumpers and hotshot crews made progress through direct attack during the incident's initial stages, continued direct attack on the fire poses a very high risk to firefighter safety without a significant probability of success. The primary objectives on the Petes Lake Fire are public and firefighter safety, followed by protecting values at risk, and confinement of the fire to the west of the Cascades Lake Highway and within the Wilderness area. Fire managers will focus on the Cascades Lake Highway, identifying and strengthening control features. Infrastructure and other improvements near the highway will be evaluated and protected as needed. Because the majority of our current efforts will be focused in areas that are not directly on the fireline, success on this fire will be measured by meeting the primary objectives rather than by containment percentage. 

Yesterday: Two hand crews, supported by a dozer, prepped and continued creating a shaded fuel break on the west side of the Cascade Lakes Highway. The gap in weather and smoke provided the opportunity for a successful reconnaissance flight over the fire and allowed fire staff to refine the map. 

Today: Hand crews will continue working on the shaded fuel break along the highway. Resources to support the incident will continue to arrive. The structure protection group will continue to assess structures and develop structure protection plans.  

Closures: The closure order on the Willamette and Deschutes National Forests for the Petes Lake Fire remains in place and can be found here: fs.usda.gov/detail/deschutes/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD1134682.  

Evacuation: Evacuation notices issued Sunday by the Deschutes County Sheriff remain in place: https://www.deschutes.org/sheriff/page/emergency-information.  

Level 3 (Go Now) Evacuation notice is issued for all areas west of the Cascade Lakes Hwy from the Lucky Lake Trailhead north to the Mirror Lake Trail.   

Level 1 (Be Ready) Pre-Evacuation notice is issued for areas around Elk Lake down to Little Lava Lake. This means “Be Ready” for potential evacuation. Be aware of danger in the area.   

Level 2 – (Be Set) to evacuate at a moment’s notice. (There are no level 2 evacuations currently.)  

 Weather: Today, a low-pressure system will move in with the potential to bring intermittent rain for the next 48-72 hours. This system has the potential to generate thunderstorms on Friday and Saturday as well.  

Safety: The public can assist fire staff by reducing speed and using caution when driving along the Cascades Lakes Highway. 

Fire Size: 10,817 acres
Initial Start: 8/18/2023 at 1600 pm
Location: Approximately 4 miles northeast of Elk, WA.
Cause: Under Investigation
Containment: 83%
Resources Committed: 28 Engines, 6 Crews, 1 Bulldozer, 5 Water Tenders, 1 Skidgen

Elk, WA, - Current Situation: The Type 3 Northeast WA Incident Management Team (IMT) 3 is in command of the Oregon Fire. The fire remains in full suppression strategy and is expected to transition to patrol status for most of the fires area early next week. The fire continues to remain within the current footprint with no further growth.

Today’s activities: The recent rain over the fire area has made some portions of the fire difficult to access due to road conditions. Firefighters will continue to mop-up and patrol the fire perimeter and interior on the north, south, and west flanks. On the east flank, firefighters continue their efforts in improving containment lines and mopping-up with the use of engines, hand crews, and a skidgen to support the operation. Air assets are available upon request out of Deer Park and other nearby areas if needed.

Disaster assistance: The Disaster Assistance Center located at the Spokane Falls Community College, Building 9, 3305 W. Whistalks Way, Spokane, WA 99224 - phone: (509) 998-2750, has been providing information and resources to people impacted by the Gray Road and Oregon Road wildfires since August 25, 2023, and is scheduled to close this Friday, September 1, 2023, at 6 p.m. With the Disaster Assistance Center closing, people affected by the wildfires can contact the represented organizations directly. Please visit Spokane County Emergency Management website for the contact information for the agencies and organizations.

Evacuations: All evacuations throughout the entire fire area have been rescinded. An evacuation center for those in need remains open through the Red Cross until there is no further need at Riverside High School 4120 E. Deer Park Milan Rd, Chattaroy, WA 99003.

Weather: Gusty winds will be likely again on Thursday as the weather system that brought thunderstorms and rain over the fire moves out of the area. Winds are expected to taper off in the evening. Mostly cloudy skies and elevated relative humidity can be expected throughout the day.

Smoke Outlook: Washington State Department of Ecology has up to date air quality information at: enviwa.ecology.wa.gov/home/map.

SWIMT2 takes command of Smith River Complex South

Highlights: A community meeting will be held for the Smith River Complex- South Sept. 1st, at 6 p.m. at the Del Norte Fairgrounds, Arts and Crafts Building, 421 US 101, Crescent City. A live-stream of the meeting will be available on the Six Rivers National Forest Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/SixRiversNF (no account is needed to view this live-stream).

Today, at 7:00 a.m., The Southwest Area Incident Management Team 2 (SWAIMT2), led by Incident Commander Dave Bales, assumed command of The Smith River Complex – South Zone from California Interagency Incident Management Team 15. The management teams met yesterday to begin the formal transition and review the strategic response and protection plan in place for the fire. Incident objectives continue to include firefighters and public safety, as well as protecting property, infra- structure, and other values at risk, including timber and watershed.

Operations/Weather: As predicted, winds at upper elevations were strong yesterday. These winds were accompanied by drier air which caused ridgetop relative humidity values to drop down to around 25%. These conditions caused the south- ern flank of the Kelly fire and the east side of the Coon fire to merge. Firefighters worked hard to secure a slop-over the east side of the 405 road utilizing air tankers and helicopters. Resources were well staffed on all the control lines around Gasquet and continued to patrol and secure any hot areas that could potentially threaten containment. Although there is still active fire above Gasquet, it remains on the east side of the North Fork Smith River. This natural feature is the planned primary control for this portion of the Kelly fire. The Hurdy Gurdy fire also remains active on the western flank as it backs down in very rugged terrain above Hurdy Gurdy Creek. Favorable weather is on tap for the remainder of the week as moisture rapidly returns ahead of an approaching cold front and Pacific Northwest trough. The potential for rain continues Friday and Saturday with localized wetting rains expected over the fire complex.

Safety: Heavy Fog is expected throughout the day, please continue to use caution on roads due to increased fire traffic.

Restrictions/Closures: Closures will be adjusted based on fire activity.

Smoke Air quality information is available at https://www.airnow.gov/

Evacuations: All evacuation orders are issued by the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office. If you are in the Del Norte County, area please sign up for their Community Alert System to receive emergency notifications.

Rocky Mountain Area Complex Incident Management Team Two

Jared Hohn, Incident Commander

Current Situation: The Rocky Mountain Area Complex Incident Management Team Two is working to improve situational awareness for operational planning. Breaks in the cloud cover yesterday allowed for aerial reconnaissance flights. Due to the large area covered by more than 40 wildfires on the forest, the fire complex has been divided into two branches and four divisions, with Branch 1 and Divisions C and F north of U.S. Highway 12 and Branch 2 and Divisions L and W located south of Highway 12. A total of 294 personnel are currently assigned to the Cowlitz Complex, which encompasses a total of 400 acres.

In Branch 1/Division C, crews have established containment line around the Carlton Ridge Fire perimeter and are securing the edge and mopping up heat sources near containment lines. Crews expect to continue working on Carlton Ridge Fire for two to three more days before it will transition to monitor and patrol status. Evacuation orders for Carlton Ridge have been lifted.

On other portions of Division C, crews are making progress establishing containment line around the Pothole Fire located near the southwest corner of Mount Rainier National Park. The South Fork Fire, located 5.5 miles west-southwest of Packwood is in monitor and patrol status and its crews have been shifted from the South Fork to the Yew Fire, which is located near the intersection of Forest Roads 47 and 4773.

In Branch 1/Division F, crews are working on gaining access over steep, difficult terrain to the Grassy Mountain Fire, located 4.5 miles northeast of Randle. It remains unstaffed while strategic plans are developed.

In Branch 2/Division L, crews have established containment line around the Jackpot Creek Fire and are mopping up heat sources within the fire perimeter. Crews are assessing other fires nearby to identify next steps.

In Branch 2/Division W, road work is underway to repair landslide damage and improve access to the Snagtooth and Spencer Quartz Fires. A suppression response strategy is being developed.

Fire Restrictions: Fire Restrictions are in effect. Campfires are prohibited across the Gifford Pinchot National Forest – only propane-fueled fire pits, stoves and lanterns are allowed. Additional information is available on the forest’s website at at Gifford Pinchot National Forest - Fire Management (usda.gov).

Weather & Smoke Information: More rain moved in overnight and is expected to last into the afternoon. The forecast calls for four-tenths to one inch of rain, depending on location. Temperatures in the valley temperatures will be in the 60s, with highs in the 40s to 50s at higher elevations. Light westerly winds of 15 to 20 miles per hour are predicted on ridgetops, with light, variable winds in the valley. Friday will bring continued cool temperatures, drizzle, and overcast conditions.

Closures: In anticipation of ongoing fire activity in the vicinity of the Snagtooth Fire the following roads and trails will be closed to the public to reduce exposure and help ensure public safety: Forest Roads 9300 and 9341 (currently off limits), Boundary Trail #1(from Elk Pass to intersection with Summit Prairie), Summit Prairie #2, Craggy Peak #3, Snagtooth #4, Quartz #5, Stabler Camp #17, Wright Meadows #80, Basin Camp #3 A, Quartz #5 B, Quartz #5 C (French Creek), Snyder Pasture #80 A.

Temporary Flight Restrictions: A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in effect over the fire area between U.S. Highway 12 and Mount Rainier National Park. Fire aviation response is halted or delayed if an unauthorized aircraft enters the TFR. Temporary flight restrictions also apply to unmanned aircraft systems or drones. If you fly, we can’t!
