KEY MESSAGE

A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) has been implemented over the fire area and the Condon airstrip has been closed for general aviation. This allows for firefighting aircraft to safely work over the fire area and the Condon airstrip is being used as a firefighting helicopter base. Pilots in the area should check these NOTAMs and follow all directions for both public and firefighter safety.

CURRENT STATUS

Yesterday, fire activity was observed as moderate while temperatures continued to trend a few degrees warmer and relative humidity levels dropping lower. The overnight infrared flight mapped the fire at approximately 5,252 acres in size, increasing by 315 acres.

Yesterday, on the east side of the fire along Forest Road 646 (Colt/Uhler Road) burning operations progressed well.  The intent of this operation is to further secure the road’s use as a primary fire control line.  Crews continued working to secure the spot fires in the area that ignited east of Forest Road 646 earlier in the week. On the fire’s north side, a Heavy Equipment Task Force and hand crews continued work reducing vegetation along Forest Road 906 (Beaver Creek Road) in preparation for burning operations. Personnel also searched the west flank for opportunities to construct fire line in locations that have a high probability of success to contain the fire. On the south side, crews worked directly on the fire edge, anchoring from constructed dozer and hand lines.  Additionally in this area, two spot fires were discovered and secured.  South Structure Protection worked on structure assessments on the east side of Lake Inez. North Structure Protection engines assisted in operations along Forest Road 646 (Colt/Uhler Road). Helicopter bucket water drops were effectively used to cool hots spots as needed.

PLANNED ACTIONS

Crews will continue burning operations along Forest Road 646 (Colt/Uhler Road) to secure the north and east flanks of the fire. On the south side, crews will continue to secure the spot fires, construct direct hand line towards the west, and assess road systems for potential control features near the West Fork of the Clearwater River. A Heavy Equipment Task Force and crews will continue working on vegetation removal and control line preparation along the Beaver Creek Road on the north side of the fire. South Structure Protection will continue structure assessments and protection work at Lake Inez. A night shift of engines and personnel will patrol and monitor fire conditions. Helicopters will be used to drop water on the fire as needed and where they can be most effective.

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR

The high temperatures in the fire area on Friday will range from 71-81 degrees, with relative humidity levels 20-30%.  Winds will be from the south at 5-9 mph with gusts up to 12 mph. There is a 20% chance of thunderstorms over the area and thunderstorm outflow winds could potentially gust to 25-30 mph. Fire behavior is expected to be low to moderate and with the active fire edge moving through the heavy dead and down surface vegetation. Torching and spotting are possible in the subalpine fir and lodgepole pine.

Resources Successful in Holding Diamond Fire After Thunderstorm Activity

OPERATIONAL UPDATE

Yesterday was largely a calm day regarding fire activity on the Diamond Fire. The bulk of activity occurred on the northern portion of the fire where resources managed a slop over and a few spot fires in the Alder Creek drainage as the result of thunderstorm activity from the previous night. However, groundcrews were successful in securing these areas of concern. Additionally, managers began staffing some areas that are difficult to access on the northwest and west portions of the fire. There was minimal fire progression on the east to southeast portions of the fire and crews employed aircraft late in the shift to boost overnight humidities along the fire’s edge.

For today’s operational shift, ground resources will utilize aerial resources to continue holding the fire around the community of Sunflower, as well as along Hwy 87. Crews on the southern and southeastern section of the fire will monitor fire behavior and continue with fuel removal along the 1333 road for potential future use as a holding feature. Additional resources will be mobilized to the western area of the fire, with a Type 1 helicopter assisting to keep the fire in place.

Although not planned at this time, there is the possibility there will be a need to close State Road 87. If you plan on traveling in the area, pay close attention to https://az511.gov/ and our Facebook page for the most up to date road closure information.

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR

Temperatures are expected to remain in the triple digits today with relative humidities remaining below 20 percent. Winds will generally be less than 20 miles per hour out of the west in the morning with a shift to a more northerly direction in the late afternoon and evening. An increase in thunderstorm activity can be expected in the afternoon with an increase in monsoonal convection progressing northward. These afternoon thunderstorms may bring stronger and erratic outflow winds. Where winds align with steep topography and vegetation, fire activity is expected to increase with the possibility for rapid growth.

CLOSURES AND SPECIAL MESSAGES

The National Forest has issued a closure order for the fire area to provide public health and safety due to firefighting operations and fire danger associated with the Diamond Fire. Forest Road 627, west of State Route 87, remains closed to the general public per the Forest Area Closure.

Lastly, there was a recent drone intrusion within the Diamond Fire temporary flight restriction area. The Diamond Fire would like to remind people that there is a temporary flight restriction over the fire area, which includes the use of drones (UAS). Flying a drone over a fire area is dangerous to pilots and will cause air operations to shut down. Flying a drone within the restricted area is illegal.
