Bedrock Fire Quick Facts

Size: 31,579 acres                 Origin: Willamette National Forest                 Resources: 39 engines;

Containment: 57%               Cause: Under Investigation                             13 crews; 11 helicopters;

Total personnel: 734            Start Date: July 22, 2023                                8 dozers, 30 water tenders

Firefighters, aircrews and helicopters, and heavy equipment from the Bedrock Fire will be heavily engaged with new fires in the area today, including the Horse Creek and Pothole incidents. Other personnel are being shifted to the more active Lookout Fire. At the same time, hundreds of personnel are still working to finalize containment on the Bedrock Fire. Pacific Northwest Team 2 (PNW2) is now managing all four fires. “While our main focus has to shift to Lookout and the two new fires, we know we also have to finish the job on Bedrock,” said Jason Loomis, PNW2 Incident Commander. Because of the progress that has been made, firefighters will begin removing structure protection equipment currently in place in the Big Fall Creek community. Last night was also the final night shift on the Bedrock Fire and those firefighters are being moved to the Lookout Fire. All containment lines have been holding and firefighters continue to patrol the perimeter, taking any actions necessary to keep the perimeter secure.

Evacuations: PNW2 is working with the Lane County Sheriff to adjust evacuation levels, as necessary, to address changing conditions for both the new, and the older, fires in this area. An up-to-date and searchable evacuation map is available through the county’s website: Bedrock Fire Evacuation Areas (https://bit.ly/44rF8Gd). Residents can also call the county at 541-682-2055 for additional information.

Smoke: A changing weather pattern is expected to help push smoke out of the area starting tomorrow. The daily West-Central Oregon Smoke Outlook provides a detailed air quality forecast for the Bedrock Fire, as well as other nearby fires. The Fire and Smoke Map (fire.airnow.gov) is another source for air quality information. 

Weather: Hot and dry again today with a temperature inversion trapping smoke in the area until afternoon. Smoke should clear after the inversion breaks and the winds shift to blowing out of the west and southwest.

Safety and Closures: The Willamette National Forest has implemented emergency closures to ensure the safety of the public and personnel working on multiple fires in this area. The closure maps for the Bedrock and Lookout Fires are available on InciWeb and the “alerts and notices” page of the Willamette National Forest website. Temporary Flight Restrictions remain in place over the Bedrock and Lookout fire areas.

Smith River Complex North update for Sunday, August 27, 2023

GRANTS PASS, Ore. – Activity on the Kelly Fire increased Saturday afternoon. Wind gusts of up to 18 mph and ongoing warm, extremely dry conditions drove fire spread.

A new spot fire established just west of Gilligan Butte but did not breach the primary containment line protecting the Illinois Valley near O’Brien. Protecting structures in this area and keeping the fire from crossing the primary containment line is a top priority for fire personnel. Fire resources are working day and night shifts, and three additional Hot Shot crews have arrived to engage in this effort.

Fire personnel also continue to construct direct and indirect fire lines from the Rough and Ready Creek drainage area northeast of the fire, south and west of Gilligan Butte along the 4402 Road to Hwy 199. They are also constructing lines southeast of Hwy 199 in the Elk Creek area south of the California Border, following the 18N11 Road to the 444 Road.

The weather forecast through Tuesday calls for a similar pattern of morning fog and persistent heavy smoke. This will result in poor air quality, low visibility, and limited air operations.

A Level 3 – GO NOW evacuation remains in place for the Hwy 199 area south of O’Brien from mile post 38 into California. A Level 2 – GET SET evacuation is in place for O’Brien and the Takilma area. A Level 1 – GET READY evacuation is in place heading north to Cave Junction. The American Red Cross has set up an evacuation shelter at Rogue Community College in Grants Pass. Livestock can be sheltered at the Josephine County Fairgrounds.

Due to increased fire activity, the public is encouraged to monitor the Rogue Valley Emergency Management site at https://rvem.org for updates and sign up for Citizen Alert if you have not already done so. The interactive Fire First Response Map showing evacuation areas can also be found there.

The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest has implemented an area and road closure order for the Smith River Complex. Visit the forest website for additional information at https://tinyurl.com/2s4hymku. The Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District announced an emergency closure of public lands south of Waldo Road and Happy Camp Road to the Oregon/California border. Additional information can be found at https://www.blm.gov/orwafire.

A community meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, August 28, at Illinois Valley High School, 625 E. River St., Cave Junction. The meeting will also be live-streamed on the Smith River Complex North 2023 Facebook page.

The Bowles Creek Fire is currently at 6,988 acres. Fire crews remain present along Hwy 38, Skalkaho Road.  With increased weekend traffic, motorists should yield and be cautious of firefighters who are present along the roadway. Additionally, motorists should be aware of debris on the road, as increased wind events and precipitation has increased the potential for falling trees.

Completion of fire management objectives remains at 23%. Fire personnel continue to work on confinement and point zone protection to protect values at risk. Structure protection assessments are completed; however, fire personnel are present to mitigate any future fire risk. Firefighters continue to construct fuel breaks and monitor fire behavior and improve fireline as needed.

2023 Six Rivers National Forest Lightning Complex and Redwood Lightning Complex August 27, 2023 – California Incident Management Team 2 is in command of the Six Rivers National Forest (SRF) 2023 Lightning Complex and Redwood Lightning Complex, which is now comprised of 18 fires. CIIMT2 has taken command of the Marlow Fire from the Smith River Complex due to its proximity to the Blue Creek 2. Total acreage is estimated at 9055.7 acres (excluding Marlow) with containment at 15%.

Redwood National and State Parks Area

Lost – 5% contained. 722 acres. Crews continue full suppression tactics on the fire that is burning in the Lost Man watershed. CAL FIRE and Green Diamond Resource Company are collaborating in suppression efforts. A majority of the fire is in previously logged, second growth forest. Crews have held the fire on Holter Ridge. A small portion of the fire has slowly spread downslope into old growth redwood forest, where higher humidity has reduced fire activity.

Bridge Ridge – This is a 12 acre fire burning near the Devil Fire with poor accessibility. Crews expect to have the fire contained by the end of the day.

Devil – 100% contained. 12.4 acres. In patrol status.

Glen – 100% contained. .1 acre. In patrol status.

Hoopa Area

Lone Pine – 60% contained. Located south of Hoopa in the Horse Linto Creek watershed east of the Trinity River and across the river from Tish Tang Campground and Sugar Bowl Ranch, fire size is estimated at 1,683 acres. The fire is smoldering with isolated areas of heat and minimal growth. The line has been mopped up 100-150’ deep. The advisory status in Hoopa Valley Evacuation Zone HIA E-014B has been removed. Orleans Area

Pearch - East of Orleans is estimated at 2,046 acres. Crews are preparing to complete a burning operation to assist in containment to prevent the fire from a westerly spread towards Orleans. Structure protection personnel are continuing structure protection activities throughout the area. Hose line and sprinklers have been deployed around values at risk. Firing operations are expected to begin today along the southeast edge of the fire.

Size: 34,242 acres

Start Date:  July 15, 2023

Point of origin: 2 miles southeast of Agness, OR

Containment: 58%

Total personnel: 415

Resources: 11 crews l 3 helicopters l 17 engines l 3 bulldozers l 16 water tenders l 4 masticators 

Highlights: More favorable weather conditions over the next few days should help limit fire activity, allowing crews to productively continue toward full suppression efforts. An Initial Attack (IA) group continues to support the forest with three fires, Cedar, Anvil, and Barklow Fires, which are burning north and northwest of the Flat Fire. 

Today’s Activities: Crews focused efforts again near the north and northeast sides of the fire, conducting suppression repair work along trails, within culverts and other significant areas of importance. Resources also started chipping operations there as part of overall suppression efforts. On the eastern flank, and due to extreme terrain, aircraft continues to fly daily, providing intel and observing for any lingering heat or smokes. An overnight Infrared (IR) flight picked up some heat signatures well within the interior of the fire. But that remaining heat is not a threat to the containment line or any control features. On the south and west sides of the fire, resources are patrolling line to ensure line stability and checking for any interior smokes. Suppression repair work to dozer line continues along with the backhauling of any excess equipment and supplies back to camp. 

Weather:  Mild temperatures prevail again along with higher humidity. A dry cold front will bring slightly cooler temperatures Monday and Tuesday along with a slight increase in northwest winds. 

Smoke: Smoke lingering within the area is moving north from the Smith River Complex and settling within some nearby communities, like Brookings. The smoke outlook for the Smith River Complex is available at: https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/en/a20da242

Closures:  U.S. Highway 199 has been closed north of Gasquet due to fires on the Six River National Forest, please use U.S. Route 101 to SR 42 for all travel to and from the Rogue Valley. Forest Service and BLM roads should not be used as alternate routes due to emerging fire activity. The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest (RRSNF) has issued a closure order for the fire area including trails, roads, and a portion of the Illinois River. Visit Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest - Alerts & Notices (usda.gov) for more information.

Evacuations:  Level 1 “Get Ready” evacuation status in place for areas in the vicinity of the Flat Fire. Link to more information:  Welcome to Curry County, OR

Restrictions: Fire danger is currently extreme; the RRSNF is implementing Level 3 Public Use Restrictions (PUR). Level 3 PURs on the Wild Section of the Rogue River have been implemented by the RRSF, Medford BLM and ODF.  More information: Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest - News & Events (usda.gov)

As the warming and drying trend persists, fuels will dry out, and fire will continue to creep and smolder. Overnight humidity recoveries in the 80-90% ranges are helping to minimize smoke impacts.

The final piece of handline from S Canal Rd to the fire’s edge was completed yesterday and personnel will be back today to improve the holding feature. All pumps and hose-lays along the S Canal Rd have been removed and crews continue their suppression repair efforts.

An estimated 15.6 miles of line, including both hand line and dozer line, is identified for suppression repair work. Line repair involves pulling soil and organic material back into the line and re-contouring if needed. Brush and logs are placed on top to blend the line in with its surroundings, limit erosion, and discourage off-road use. Water bars will be installed in areas to divert the flow of water off a line to minimize erosion. Excavators repair dozer lines while hand crews restore the hand lines.

The Big Knife Fire is currently 1.25 miles north of the Rattlesnake Wilderness Boundary (Lolo National Forest) with no significant growth towards the Lolo National Forest in the last week. Smoke from the fire may impact the Snowbowl area, however the Lolo National Forest does not have any forest closures in place on the Missoula Ranger District.

CLOSURES AND SPECIAL MESSAGES: Several areas near the base of the mountains west of the Big Knife Fire remain in PRE-EVACUATION WARNING by order of the Lake County Sheriff. See the map for those locations in yellow (Jocko, Canal, Francis). The Tribal Primitive Area, Belmore Slough and Burnt Cabin Roads are closed.

A PRE-EVACUATION WARNING means you may remain in your home. Individuals in this status should not bring back evacuated livestock until this status is lifted.

A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in effect around the fire area. Do not fly unmanned aircraft (drones) near the fire areas.

Weather: Another hot and dry day is expected today, with temperatures creeping into the mid to high 80s with relative humidities in the high teens and 20s.  

FIRE RESTRICTIONS: Stage 1 fire restrictions are currently in place across the Flathead Indian Reservation and Lake County. Stage 1 fire restrictions remain in place in Granite County. In Stage 1 fire restrictions the following are prohibited until rescinded: Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire or campfire except within a developed recreation site or improved site. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials.

NORTHERN ROCKIES TEAM 6

INCIDENT COMMANDER: Paul Roose

East Fork Fire

Kootenai National Forest/Flathead National Forest

Fire Information 406-285-8634,  Eastforkfireinfo@gmail.com

August 27, 2023

Location: 12 miles south of Trego, MT

Start Date: 7/30/2023

Cause: Lightning

Size: 5,106 acres

Containment: 15%

Total Personnel: 614

Engines: 16

Hand Crews: 12

Helicopters: 2

Yesterday’s Events: The mosaic pattern of the burn is due to the steep terrain and dense, old growth forest punctuated by newer growth in plantations. This combination of factors meant that firefighters resorted to various tactics and tools to build containment lines. Heavy equipment such as skidgens, feller bunchers and dozers made rough fire lines in accessible areas. These areas were cleaned of felled vegetation to more reliably contain an advancing fire. Hot Shot and hand crews cut trees, dug handlines and laid miles of hose in harder to reach areas. Helicopters dropped water on hot spots to cool them in support of ground forces. Teams successfully used low intensity fire in back burns on the north side of the fire to remove fuels from areas between the established fireline and the fire itself. 

Plans for Today: Firefighters will continue with the successful operations utilized over the last several days. Helicopters will continue with targeted bucket drops. In addition, firefighters will use low intensity burning to strengthen the fireline on the south side of the fire. For the next 4 to 5 days, night operations will remove brush and trees from the mechanically created breaks. Crews will continue current operations to scout and build contingency lines to the east and northeast to further protect the Hwy 93 corridor, homes and the Labeau Research Natural Area. 

Weather Update: This week the weather is predicted to be hot and dry with little wind until Tuesday afternoon.  A frontal system is expected to move in over the region and the windy conditions will test the fire lines. Rain and colder temperatures will follow this front providing another season slowing opportunity. 

Evacuations: Some communities remain in a Pre-Evacuation Warning. Residents may return to their homes under a Pre-Evacuation Warning, but may need to leave again on short notice. For more information, go to the Lincoln County and Flathead County Sheriff’s Department Facebook pages.

Public Meetings: No public meetings are scheduled at this time, though fire personnel are available to address questions or concerns via the email address and telephone number noted above. 

CURRENT SITUATION
The Deep Fire was mapped overnight at 3,838 and remains 58% contained. Good work continued yesterday. Several areas continue to hold heat, specifically in the northeast and southeast corners of the fire, but there the fire has remained within proposed containment lines.

On the southern end of the fire, crews adapted their traffic pattern to avoid the Trinity Alps Resort as it reopened for business yesterday. Residents and visitors are advised that despite good containment progress, there is still heat remaining inside the fire footprint and fire-weakened snags could pose a considerable threat. A Forest Closure remains in effect in the area for public and firefighter safety, and smoke is likely to be visible for the foreseeable future.

On the southern and southeastern edge of the fire, crews worked primarily directly along the fire’s active edge, mopping up, extinguishing hot spots, and making sure no burning material is close enough to the line to pose any threat to containment. They were able to complete line to Sunday Creek, effectively containing the fire’s southeastern edge. They will continue to improve that line today.

Up the Stuart Fork Trial, multiple resources remain in place, ensuring that mitigation measures are in place as smoldering material continues to roll off the steep slopes above the trail.

The fire continues to back into the Little Salt Creek drainage on the north end of the fire. Activity was observed there yesterday as fuels warmed and dried. Crews utilized helicopters to cool the edge as a small finger of fire moving through continuous fuels flanked across the slope. Fuels in the area are sparse, and the fire remains positioned to run into rock.

WEATHER
The warming and drying trend of the last few days will continue through today, bringing light diurnal winds. A change is anticipated Monday and Tuesday as an upper level trough moves through the fire area, bringing the potential for westerly winds and slightly cooler temperatures.
