Bedrock Fire Quick Facts

Size: 31,570 acres                 Origin: Willamette National Forest                 Resources: 46 engines;

Containment: 50%               Cause: Under Investigation                             12 crews; 11 helicopters;

Total personnel: 746            Start Date: July 22, 2023                                9 dozers, 30 water tenders

Bedrock Fire: Firefighters, engines and helicopters assigned to the Bedrock Fire assisted with initial attack on new fires around the region yesterday. This was possible because fire activity on the Bedrock was light and containment lines continued to hold. “We’re glad we were able to help our neighbors and help keep these new fires small,” said Chris Hutsell, one of the incident commanders. With two large fires already burning on the Willamette National Forest, fire personnel and equipment are in limited supply. “It’s to everyone’s advantage to nip new fire starts in the bud,” Hutsell added. While helicopters did not fly over the Bedrock Fire Friday, hundreds of firefighters continue to work, both day and night, to complete containment lines. They have also started the large task of hauling in hose, pumps and other equipment that is no longer needed, and repairing damage done to the land during the firefighting efforts of the last month.

The Incident Management Team on the Bedrock Fire, Pacific Northwest Team 2 (PNW2), will take over management of the Lookout Fire today at 6:00 p.m from Northwest Team 6. This will allow Northwest Team 6 to get some time off and be ready for another fire assignment, if needed. PNW2 will continue to manage the Bedrock Fire and will manage the new, 25-acre Horse Creek Fire, starting later today.

Evacuations: Level 2 evacuation notifications remain in place for portions of Lane County because of these multiple fires. A searchable evacuation map with fire perimeters is available through the county’s website: (https://bit.ly/44rF8Gd) Bedrock Fire Evacuation Areas.

Smoke: 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: A temperature inversion is expected to lift around noon today, giving way to sunny skies and warm temperatures. Fuels remain very dry and humidity levels at higher elevations may drop to critically low levels. The potential for rapid fire growth still exists, with a warm and dry pattern through the weekend.

Safety and Closures: The Willamette National Forest implemented an Emergency Area Closure to ensure the safety of the public and personnel working on the fire. The closure maps for the Bedrock Fire are available on InciWeb. A Temporary Flight Restriction remains in place over the Bedrock Fire area.

Cloudy conditions kept temperatures mild throughout the afternoon yesterday, leading to minimal fire behavior and smoke production. Heavy fire traffic continues in and around the Gray Fire area. Please be respectful as community members return to homes and property.   

To help with the location of hotspots within the fire area, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS, or “drones”) are being utilized to locate areas of remaining heat. Use is coordinated with local air traffic control and require Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) clearance. Private drones should not be flown in or around fire areas, as any activity is a safety risk that can halt firefighting efforts.  

Today’s Activities: Firefighters are working to secure the remainder of the perimeter. Mop up operations continue today with use of handheld infrared and UAS systems assisting firefighters. Mop up is when firefighters extinguish or remove burning material and standing dead trees near the fire perimeter. They also work on extinguishing hot spots, or isolated spots of smoldering material located on or within the fire perimeter. Crews are also working along the interior of the fire to suppress hot spots, including near the I-90 corridor. 

Weather: The Gray Fire area will see temperatures in the 90s today through Sunday. Warmer temperatures will dry out fuels as humidity levels drop near 20%. Light NE winds are present with infrequent gusts up to 15 mph.

Type 3 Team, Incident Commander: Nick Collard ICT3, Grif Cochran ICT3 (T)

Daily Update – 9:00 AM

Highlights:  Critical fire weather conditions are not expected through Tuesday. Fire activity is expected to be minimal with smoldering, creeping, and backing where pockets of heat remain. Crews and air resources are available to respond quickly if conditions change. Winds will be generally light and less than 10 mph with gusts to 15-18 mph.  

Quartz Ridge Fire: 1799 acres, no change in acreage | 70% of objectives achieved | 77 personnel assigned 

The southeastern and eastern edges of the fire continue to have pockets of heat with minimal to moderate fire behavior with some backing and movement in steep terrain. The pocket of fire on the east side of Quartz Creek is within a rocky area and constrained by natural features. Direct control lines are being utilized to suppress accessible parts of the fire and indirect control lines are providing confinement on remote areas that present high safety risks to firefighters. 

Bear Creek Fire: 415 acres, no change in acreage | 71% of objectives achieved | 21 personnel assigned 

The Bear Creek Fire has continued to be inactive with some isolated spots of smoldering. The fire has received precipitation within the last few days and remains quiet with a few smokes visible. Hose lays and sprinklers kits were removed from structures due to reduced fire risk in the southern Weminuche Valley. The fire size has remained steady at 415 acres for several days, and no growth is expected over the next few days.  

Weather: High temperatures will be from the mid 60s to mid 70s with afternoon minimum relative humidity of 40 to 50%. Light winds of less than 10 mph are forecast. Overnight humidity recovery will be good with relative humidity increasing to 80% or higher.

Great progress is being made on The Black Feather Fire

Acres: 2,198 acres

Start Date: August 5, 2023

Cause: Lightning

Fuels: Timber, Brush, Understory

Containment: 28%

Resources: 119 personnel

Location: Approximately 9 miles south of Gallina, NM, on the Santa Fe National Forest, Coyote Ranger District. Near the Peñas Negras Trail in the San Pedro Parks Wilderness.  

Highlights: Hand crews and repellers worked along the wilderness boundary and progressed line construction to the West. While the repellers and hand crews were working, the helicopter aided with bucket work extinguishing hot spots. The grader and water tender are working to improve the road conditions.  Use caution while traveling in this area.

Hand crews gained more progress in the wilderness in continuing and securing the fires edge. Engine crews outside of the wilderness have been patrolling and monitoring the fires edge along with securing any hotspots or smoke showing within the fire's perimeter.

Operations: Suppression efforts are continuing within the wilderness and along the Eastern edge of the fire. As most of the fire is located in the wilderness, firefighters are working in steep terrain with heavy dead and down logs and fire weakened trees. Crews and engines are actively suppressing and monitoring activities in relation to weather and fire behavior to ensure incident objectives are met while remaining focused on firefighter safety.  

Safety: Equipment and fire crews are actively moving in and around the fire area. Please use caution when traveling around the Black Feather Fire. The Temporary Flight Restriction is still in place. Please do not fly drones anywhere near the fire. If you fly, we can’t fly.

Weather: Showers and thunderstorms are expected to start prior to the noon hour on Saturday over or very near the Black Feather fire. Showers and thunderstorms may be periodic through the mid evening hours. Heavy rainfall will be possible. Showers and thunderstorms remain possible on Sunday, but confidence that it will impact the burn area is lower.  

Restrictions/Closures: Effective Monday, August 21, the Santa Fe National Forest has issued an updated area, road, and trail closure in part of the Coyote Ranger District. See https://bit.ly/BlackFeatherClosureUpdate for information and a corresponding map. Forest Road 103 is now open. Closures will be adjusted based on fire activity. 

Smoke: Variations in temperatures, humidity & fire activity will impact smoke conditions in the coming days and weeks. Smoke may be visible in the area as active smoldering takes place. Smoke-sensitive individuals and people with respiratory problems or heart disease are encouraged to take precautionary measures. Air quality information is available at https://www.airnow.gov/.

Evacuations:  The communities of Mesa Pinabetal, Mesa Poleo, and Wetherill remain in ‘Ready’ status.

McKinney Fire Information Update –

Start date – 08/20/2023                         

Size – 43 Acres      

Containment – 40%    

Firefighters continue to suppress and repair the McKinney Fire

Santa Fe, NM (8/26/23) – The 43-acre McKinney Fire started August, 20th, within 15 miles North of Jemez Spring, NM. The fire is burning in remote terrain and due to its location, fire managers are developing a plan to manage the fire in a full suppression Strategy, by creating containment lines utilizing hand crews. Resources were able to get additional 15% of containment around the fire yesterday.

Containment efforts on the East flank have been a challenge due to steep and inaccessible terrain.

Fire is burning in the area with no fire history or fuels treatment. As with all incidents, firefighter and public safety remains the highest priority over all other incident objectives. While managing this incident, resources are expected to utilize deliberate risk management processes to ensure they are committed to successful operations under conditions where important values at risk are protected with the least exposure necessary.

A strategic plan is in place to ensure resources limit activities that may disturb eco-sensitive areas, sensitive cultural sites, along with threatened and endangered species and their habitats. Fire personnel are taking proactive measures during any fire management activities to protect water quality.

Precipitation over the fire last night for a brief period. Thunderstorm development across the fire area with potential for downdrafts and lightning is a concern.

Smoke may be more or less visible in the area as active smoldering takes place. Variations in temperatures, humidity & fire activity will impact smoke conditions in the coming days. Smoke-sensitive individuals and people with respiratory problems or heart disease are encouraged to take precautionary measures.

Area, trail, and camp closures remain in effect between mile 120 (Newhalem) and 139 (east NPS boundary), as well as other areas along SR 20 due to the Blue Lake Fire.  Diablo Lake, Diablo Lake Overlook, Maple Pass, and other areas are not accessible.

As we head into the weekend, we urge everyone traveling on SR 20 to exercise extra caution. Firefighters are actively working in the area, and potential gravity hazards like falling rocks and debris may still pose a risk. Please remain vigilant and adhere to all posted signage.**For more information, go to:  https://www.nps.gov/noca/planyourvisit/fire-closures.htm

(Newhalem, Wash.) -- The Sourdough Fire started with a lightning strike on July 29 near Diablo in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, 7 miles northeast of Newhalem. The size of the fire remains at approximately 6,138 acres with 25% containment.

The current suppression strategy involves obtaining full containment along the southern portion of the fire that includes SR 20 as well as other infrastructure such as buildings, utility corridors, and other values at risk. In the remote areas of the fire to the north, where the fire continues to burn through drought-stricken forest, the strategy is to keep the fire confined on the west and eastern flanks using natural features and past fire scars. Firefighters are prepared to take action if the fire endangers any values. Incident managers continuously evaluate and refine these management strategies, working toward a clear end state of ensuring the safety and protection of communities, infrastructure, and resources.

Yesterday: The cloud coverage and cooler temperatures decreased fire activity. This aided reconnaissance flights to monitor the fire’s progression, focusing on the east and west flanks. No concerns were found along the perimeters. Mop-up operations continued with the intention of reinforcing existing containment lines. Incident managers, division heads, park specialists, and resource advisors (READs) met to discuss and evaluate ongoing suppression repair strategies and guidelines for their effectiveness at returning damaged or disturbed areas to natural conditions.

Today’s planned activities: With SR 20 now open to through-travel, firefighters will continue to take appropriate safety precautions around traffic while conducting patrol and mop-up operations. Equipment no longer needed on the fireline is being backhauled or transported back to the fire camp to be prepared for future use on other incidents. Suppression repair operations will continue today along the secured fireline. Reconnaissance flights will be flown with a key focus on the Sourdough drainage and 2015 Goodell burn scar perimeters.

Weather: The fire area received light showers, but precipitation had minimal effect on overall fire behavior. East winds are predicted over the fire area this morning (Saturday), with southerly winds taking over in the afternoon. This weekend, increased temperatures and critical fire conditions arising from hot, dry, and unstable atmospheric conditions are expected. Another front moving in early next week brings the potential for more precipitation.

Safety: Firefighter and public safety will be a priority as SR 20 is now open to through-travel in the fire area.  Fire danger remains extremely high. The public can help prevent the next wildland fire by observing outdoor burning bans and avoiding other common ignition causes. This is a no-recreation drone zone. Recreational drones pose serious risks to firefighter and public safety and the effectiveness of wildfire suppression efforts. Aerial firefighting is suspended when recreational drones are in the air.
