DeRidder, LA…..The Tiger Island Fire was first reported on Tuesday August 22nd  and is currently estimated at 33,000 acres. The fire is located east of Merryville, south of Hwy 190, SW of DeRidder and North of Singer.

The Southern Area Red Type One Incident Management Team has assumed command of the fire under the jurisdiction of the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry. Additional personnel and equipment are continuing to arrive and will be assigned to areas of the fire with the most threat for growth potential. Special emphasis of operations today will be on the northwest and northeast portions of the fire, and near the communities Merryville and Junction. Commissioner Mike Strain, DVM Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry states “We’re so grateful to have the support of our neighboring states, our local partners, and the federal government. We have deployed every single piece of equipment and every single qualified person to fight these fires.”

Weather and Fire Behavior: Fuel conditions combined with low relative humidity and gusty winds, especially during the afternoon, have the potential to produce extreme fire behavior. Temperatures will reach near 104 degrees with winds 8-13 MPH and relative humidity dropping to 28%. There is a potential for thunderstorms will develop this afternoon, bringing gusty and erratic winds which will increase fire behavior and could rekindle fire in areas that have been dormant.

Evacuations: From the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office, “As of this update every evacuation order, both voluntary and mandatory, remain in place with an extra emphasis on the areas along Seth Cole Rd. down to Graybow Road.” There are 2 shelters available at the First Methodist Church and First Baptist Church in DeRidder. Updates on evacuations can be found on the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/beauregardsheriff.

There will be daily updates produced each morning and will be available on Inciweb and through the incident Facebook page. To be added to the distribution list to receive the daily updates via email, please send an email request to 2023.TigerIsland@firenet.gov.

VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING: A virtual public meeting for the Happy Camp Complex will be held on Monday, August 28th at 5:30 p.m. Fire personnel will provide an operational overview of the fire situation. The meeting will be live-streamed on Facebook (facebook.com/KlamathNF) and YouTube (youtube.com/@ciimt5). A Facebook account is not necessary to view the meeting.

A hot and dry weather pattern continues across the area, which has increased fire behavior on most of the fires in the Happy Camp Complex.

WEST SIDE OVERVIEW (ACRES/CONTAINMENT): Elliot (5,173 acres, 3%), Swillup (2,015 acres, 0%), Malone (451 acres, 7%), Ufish (1,562 acres, 0%)

The fires on the west side of the complex were active last night. The Elliot Fire burned to Highway 96 near Dillon Creek.  Last night, a tactical firing operation occurred across the top of the Swillup Fire along the 23 Road. A plan is in place to use the 24 and 19 Roads as an indirect fire line west of the Elliot and Swillup fires. The two fires are expected to grow together today. The Ufish Fire was also active last night, making several intense runs in a stand of trees. Today, firefighters will be watching for spot fires and continue to improve indirect fire lines around the Ufish and Malone fires.

Total Personnel: 704         Crews: 15                          Engines: 45                 Helicopters: 6   

KEY MESSAGE: There are several area closures in place on lands around the fire and on segments of the Clark Fork and Flathead Rivers to ensure public and firefighter safety. An overview and links are provided below in this Fact Sheet. Please respect all closure areas and allow firefighter crews, engines, and aircraft to work safely. This includes no drone flying in the temporary flight restriction area.

CURRENT STATUS: Warmer temperatures and lower humidity levels made for a more active day on the fire yesterday with pockets of heat and smoke being visible in several locations. Helicopters were utilized for water drops in key areas to reduce heat and extinguish fire where most effective. Fire crews were active yesterday on the north flank utilizing direct tactics right along the fire’s edge just east of Highway 200. Along the eastern edge, crews made good progress on control line construction moving towards the south. Equipment and crews continued to work on construction of the indirect control line along the Lolo National Forest and CSKT boundary. The fire control line within the Highway 200 corridor on both sides of the river continued to be monitored and secured by engine crews. Construction of the shaded fuels break south of Patrick’s Knob on the west side of the fire area was completed.

PLANNED ACTIONS: Hot and dry conditions are forecasted to continue today which will result in increased fire activity. Smoke is expected to be seen in several areas of the fire during this time. Engine crews will continue to patrol the Highway 200 corridor control lines near Paradise to make sure they are secure. The Structure Protection Group remains prepared to respond as necessary. Crews will work to connect control lines along the north side of the fire near Henry’s Creek. On the eastern side, resources will continue constructing direct and indirect control lines. Crews have also been working along sections of the edge of the unburnt island on the southeast side of the fire. Over on the western side of the fire, crews and equipment will continue to strengthen and improve the constructed shaded fuels break as well as the indirect control line on the northwest corner. The northwest corner and a few areas along the west side of the fire are being prepared for some potential firing operations to burn out the vegetation ahead of the fire in small sections over the next couple of days. Helicopters are available for water bucket drops as directed by ground crews.

WEATHER: The weather will be partly cloudy with temperatures from 83-93 degrees in the valleys and 73-83 degrees on the ridges. Relative humidity levels will drop to 17-27%. Winds will be from the north at 5-10 mph.

CLOSURES: A section of the Flathead River at Perma Bridge to the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes boundary is closed for the safety of fishermen and recreationalists due to the River Road East Fire. The boat ramp at Perma Bridge is still open and boaters can go east, upstream.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Restrictions and Closures: https://fwp.mt.gov/news/current-closures-restrictions.

The Lolo National Forest has an emergency closure of roads and trails (Closure #23-010-Lolo-D5) effective August 21, 2023. This Order is for public and firefighter safety during fire suppression efforts of the River Road East Fire. For a complete listing of the closed roads & trails visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/lolo/alerts-notices.

A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect over the fire (FDC 3/9687) for the safety of aviation resources.

Special Statement
Smoke from new wildfires will continue to impact communities within the forecast area.

Fire
Firefighter and public safety continue to be the highest priority when suppressing wildfires. Once safety concerns are mitigated, firefighters then prioritize structure protection. On this incident, great effort has been made with landowners to assist in protecting at-risk homes and businesses from the advance of the Smith River Complex. This includes digging multiple fire lines, using fire to remove fuels through burn-out operations, and placing hose-lays to stop fire spread and help mop up hot spots. This strenuous and dangerous work continues day and night. The safety record of the crews has been tremendous and few structures have been lost. After the brief rain showers Thursday night, forest fuels dried and fire behavior has become more active. The fire size is 67,097 acres.

Smoke
Stable air conditions and a morning inversion are contributing to elevated air quality values in the valleys this morning. The  inversion is forecasted to break around noon, which will lead to better air quality early afternoon in general for the forecast area. Winds from the west will then push smoke into the I-5 Corridor communities, which will increase air quality values in the afternoon and into the evening. Smoke from the Umpqua fires is modeled to move into the I-5 corridor communities and the Crater Lake area overnight.

Road Closure
US 199 remains closed south of Cave Junction at Lone Mountain Rd until further notice.

Aviso Especial
El humo de los nuevos incendios forestales seguirá afectando a las comunidades dentro del área de pronóstico.

Fuego
Además del Smith River Complex, están ardiendo nuevos incendios forestales en California y Oregón. El complejo Smith River tiene más de 67,000 acres en California y Oregón. Los aviones vuelven a volar durante los períodos de mejor visibilidad. Los bomberos utilizan motores y herramientas manuales para proteger las estructuras del valle de Illinois y sofocar los incendios. Las evacuaciones continúan en las áreas de alto riesgo.

Humo
Durante la noche, se sigue formando una densa capa de humo en el valle Illinois y dentro de las comunidades a lo largo del corredor de la I-5 en el suroeste de Oregón. Esta tarde, los vientos del oeste trasladarán el humo del incendio que arde al sur de Cave Junction a toda la zona de pronóstico, lo que elevará los valores de calidad del aire durante la tarde, al anochecer y la noche. La mayoría de estos valores actuales y durante el fin de semana indicarán INSALUBRE o MUY INSALUBRE. Los nuevos incendios al norte de Grants Pass están comenzando a afectar el área de pronóstico y están elevando los valores de calidad del aire.

Valentine Fire completion reaches 14%

August 27, 2023 – Daily Update

Size: 14 acres

Start Date:  August 16, 2023

Cause: Lightning

Completion: 14%

Total personnel: 242

Location: 11 miles northeast of Young, Arizona and 27 miles east of Payson, Arizona

Fuels: Hardwood litter and timber

Highlights: A community meeting will take place on Monday, August 28, at 7:00 PM at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 546 W. Ashby Apple Drive, Payson, AZ. Fire managers have updated their assessment of accomplishments on the incident, increasing to 14% completion of operational objectives. On the Valentine Fire, these objectives include confinement, point protection, and line preparation. Confinement involves restricting the fire to a defined area, primarily through use of natural barriers that are expected to restrict the spread of the wildfire under the prevailing and forecasted weather conditions. Point protection is a response strategy which protects specific assets or highly valued resources, and often involves using pumps, hoses, and sprinklers to protect structures and other identified values. Line preparation is the task of preparing an area by removing heavy concentrations of vegetation along roads and other holding features to prevent fire spread beyond the planned boundaries. Firefighters have been focusing the majority of their efforts on line preparation, completing approximately 90% of this work over the past several days. Collectively, these efforts align with the goals of the Forest Service Wildfire Crisis Strategy – to learn more, please visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/wildfire-crisis.

Operations: The Valentine Fire acreage remains the same after yesterday’s storm brought precipitation and higher humidity to the area. Although rain fell on the fire, it continues to burn slowly within the defined planning area. In some places, this slow burning fire is smoldering without a flame; in other areas, the fire is barely spreading or creeping with a low flame. With the increased moisture, smaller vegetation such as grasses, twigs, and leaves are not drying out until late in the day, resulting in a shorter burning period for the fire. Crews are continuing to prepare the perimeter of the planning area by improving conditions along National Forest System Roads 291 and 411, and constructing handlines to limit fire spread between these roads. Firefighters are staying alert to changing conditions to provide for safety, pausing work when thunderstorms presents a hazard over the fire.

Weather: Conditions will be partly cloudy with light downslope winds in the morning. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop around noon. Expect brief moderate to heavy rainfall, small hail, and cloud-to-ground lightning. Overall winds will be light and terrain-driven at 10 MPH, with higher wind gusts up to 30 MPH with thunderstorm outflows.

Closures: The Tonto National Forest has issued an emergency area closure for the Valentine Fire. The purpose of the closure order is to protect public health and safety during the Valentine Fire, and to protect assigned firefighting personnel engaging in wildland firefighting operations. The full closure order (No. 03-12-05-23-22) and map are available on the Tonto National Forest website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/tonto/alerts-notices/?aid=82769.

Safety: The health and safety of firefighters and the public are always the first priority. Members of the public should stay away from Valentine Fire operations. A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in place over the area, which includes unmanned aircraft, or drones. More information on the dangers drones pose to wildland firefighting aircraft and personnel on the ground can be found at: https://uas.nifc.gov/.

Smoke: Smoke from the Valentine Fire may be visible in the surrounding areas. Learn more about smoke impacts on the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality website at https://azdeq.gov/wildfire-faqs.

Office Hours: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM

Northeast Washington Team 3 will assume command of the Gray Fire from outgoing Northwest Team 7 on Saturday afternoon. A contingent of engines and firefighters will remain on the Gray Fire through the weekend to complete mop up and rehabilitation work. Continued cool, wet weather is assisting firefighters but they are still finding and extinguishing scattered pockets of heat and smoldering debris. Around 307 personnel are assigned to the incident as of Friday morning, but that number will continue to drop as resources are demobilized and assigned to other incidents.

Evacuations: On Wednesday afternoon, evacuation levels were dropped from a Level 2 to a Level 1 within the fire perimeter and were removed entirely outside the burned areas. Evacuation maps are posted on the Gray Fire Inciweb page and Spokane County’s Emergency Management Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GEGEmergencyMgt.    

Yesterday’s activities: On Thursday, wildland fire crews continued work to clean up equipment and flagging left in place during the suppression effort, to rehabilitate dozer lines, mitigate any hazard trees, and extinguish isolated pockets of burning material. Thursday was the final night shift.

Today’s activities will be a continuation of mopping up and rehabilitating fire suppression impacts.

Weather and Fuels: Temperatures are expected to rebound back into the upper 70s on Friday and into the lower 80s on Saturday. Winds will be light from the northeast into Saturday morning then shifting to the southwest on Saturday afternoon. Fuel moisture levels have risen significantly which has minimized fire spread potential. Remaining pockets of interior heat with continued creeping and smoldering are possible. Fuels in dry areas, such as under tree canopies or matted grasses, will continue to smolder and may produce light smoke.  

Disaster assistance: Resources are available through the Spokane County Disaster Assistance Center located at the Spokane Falls Community College, Building 9, 3305 W. Whistalks Way, Spokane, WA  99224 - phone: (509) 998-2750. Additional resources for property clean-up can be found at Spokane Regional Health and Spokane Air: bit.ly/44o05BX.
