Current Situation: An infrared flight was flown over the Frog Fire last night. Crews will be verifying the containment lines and searching for the heat signature found in the Red Ridge area. Crews planned to recheck fire line on the north end of the fire.  

Evacuations:  There are currently no evacuations related to the Frog Fire. 

Closures:  The area closure in place around the Frog Fire includes FS 667 (Big Boulder Creek Road) and Trail 047 where adjacent to the closure boundary.  The closure excludes FS Roads 669 and 670 and Trail 682. Hunters and recreationalists should familiarize themselves with this closure information prior to entering the vicinity.  Please reference the map and read the full closure description at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-closures/idstf-frog. 

Special Emphasis: Yesterday evening, Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team (CIMT) #3 took command of the Wapiti and Frog Fires. 

The Air Quality Index (AQI) in the Stanley Basin is rated green today which indicates good air quality.  You can check air quality and the AirNow Fire and Smoke Map at https://www.airnow.gov/.

With the changing of the closure areas, please ensure you check the boundaries prior to recreating or traveling.  Many trails remain closed for public safety because they have not been cleared of potential hazards.  The collection of firewood within the closure areas is prohibited; any firewood collection in open areas must be done with a valid firewood permit. For questions on firewood collection on the Sawtooth National Forest, please contact the Stanley Ranger Station at 208.774.3000.

Weather:  Saturday’s winds were much calmer in the afternoon, with gust around 10 -15 compared to Friday’s gusts of 20 to 40 mph over the Wapiti Fire. Frog Fire also had calmer winds. Today temperatures will be in the high 60’s and 70’s with higher humidity.

Current Situation:  Yesterday, fire crews and engines were spread throughout the fire area to monitor and patrol fire activity and implement suppression actions if needed to protect values.  Saturday afternoon minimal fire behavior was observed as the fire was creeping and backing down areas well within the interior and some smoldering of heavy fuels on the ground. 

Today crews will be working in several areas. The Iron Creek area is available to firewood collecting for those with a permit and exemption to be in that area. A group will be placed in the Grandjean area including an engine to remove hazardous trees and debris. They will also be working on a project to restore access to the Grandjean water system. Firefighters will also be removing snags and debris along the Hwy 21 corridor. Please be cautious while traveling along Hwy 21.

Persistent heat exists within the fire interior. Friday’s strong winds fanned pockets of heat, increasing fire activity inside containment lines. The fire will continue to smolder and creep within the existing perimeter, consuming available fuels. With this slightly increased fire behavior, increased smoke production has been observed west of Lake Cascade. Smoke production will continue within the fire perimeter until significant winter snows fully extinguish remaining heat. 

Current Situation:

• The Lava Fire is 88% contained at 97,560 acres with 416 personnel assigned. Continued changes in acreage are due to daily updates from fire line mapping by ground-based resources. 
• A small 1/10-acre spot fire on the east side of the fire was discovered outside the fire perimeter yesterday and was quickly attacked and contained by firefighters. Pockets of fuel continue to burn in the fire’s interior.
• The fire on the northeast corner continues to slowly back down to the 435 road, which will be used as a containment feature once fire reaches it.
• Helicopters delivered 15,000 gallons of water to the fire line yesterday and the unmanned aerial system (drone) was used on the fire perimeter to detect heat sources to assist ground forces with locating hot spots.

Weather: High temperatures will be in 50s at ridgetops, 60s over rest of fire, with light winds. Southwest winds increasing on ridgetops overnight up to 20 mph. On Sunday, winds will be higher on ridge tops, with southwest winds gusting to 12 mph in the valleys, occasionally to 20 mph. Relative humidity will fall into the upper teens Sunday during the peak heat of the day. Fire behavior remains minimal, with creeping and smoldering observed. As fuels continue to dry out under unseasonably warm and dry weather, they are more likely to carry fire.

Evacuations: In Gem County, a Level 1 “READY” notice remains for residents south of South Grays Creek, along Little Weiser River Road in Indian Valley, north of South Grays Creek Road to Highway 95, and the Mesa Area. Learn more at Gem County Sheriff's Office. In Valley County, Zones 4 – 6 remain in a LEVEL 1 “READY” status. Learn more at Valley County Sheriff's Office.

Closures: The Boise and Payette National Forests adjusted the Lava Fire area closure on September 30, increasing access for the public to access areas north and south of the fire perimeter. For updated map and closure information visit Closure areas | Boise National Forest | Facebook.

Road Closures: Third Fork Road at Nesbitt Lane, Second Fork Road at Nesbitt Lane, and Nesbitt Lane. Check out updated Gem County closure information at Gem County Sheriff's Office.

Temporary Flight Restrictions:A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in effect. View a map of the TFR and details at https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_8199.html. Fire aviation response is halted or delayed if unauthorized aircrafts, including drones, enter the TFR. If you fly, we can’t!

The Tiger Creek Fire saw some growth today due to higher winds. Size at approximately 475 acres with moderate fire activity. Fire crews are continuing to work from an established anchor point on the fire and create containment line where it is feasible. Aircraft continue to be used to limit fire spread and spot fire growth in the Mill Creek Watershed. Halting the growth, active suppression of this fire and public safety will continue to be a priority task for fire crews, while limiting environmental impacts to the watershed.

Fire Name: Garden Fire 

Fire Size: 6,000 (estimated) 

Cause: lightning 

Location: approximately two (2) miles southwest of the confluence of Panther Creek and the Main Salmon River on the North Fork Ranger District in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  

Fuels: grass, brush, dead and down fuels, and timber

Resources: 1 Type 1 Crew, 1 Type 2 Crew, 8 Engines, 4 overhead, and 2 Type 2 crews are enroute.   

InciWeb: https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/idscf-garden-fire  

Fire situation:  Firefighter and public safety is the number one priority for the Garden Fire.  Fire behavior on the Garden Fire was active yesterday, the fire was creeping and running with single and group tree torching and uphill runs.  Wind driven runs were associated with front moving into area.  The fire was active on all sides with movement into Garden and Clear Creeks.  Fire managers estimate the fire doubled in size yesterday.  

Fire managers are using a point protection strategy (a wildfire response strategy, which protects specific assets or highly valued resources from the wildfire without directly halting the continued spread of the wildfire) to minimize exposure to fire personnel while protecting identified values, including private property and Forest Service infrastructure.  Today, fire growth has been minimal due to the inversion layer over the fire area.  Fire is anticipated to grow in the Garden Creek drainage to the ridge to the north and towards the Salmon River.  Fire is currently holding in Clear Creek but is expected to grow towards Panther Creek.  The presence of firefighters, primarily in the Panther Creek and Salmon River areas, is ongoing.  Fire managers are continuing to look for opportunities to engage the fire direct as fuels and weather conditions change and it is safe to do so.

Evacuations:  Lemhi County Law Enforcement, Emergency Management, and the Salmon-Challis National Forest have established 2 evacuation zones for the Garden Fire.  

Zone 1: From Cove Creek to Ebeneezer Bar, downriver along the Salmon River Road #030.

Zone 2: On Panther Creek Rd #055, a half mile south of Beaver Creek Rd #057 to the Salmon River Rd #030 confluence.

ZONE 1 is in “READY” status

ZONE 2 is in “GO” status

Weather: High pressure is building in today behind an exiting cold front bringing overall light winds and much cooler temperatures.  However, the cold air behind the front is very dry. So, even though afternoon highs will cool 10 to 15 degrees F from yesterday, some locations will see afternoon humidity once again below 15 percent. Humidity will increase again starting Sunday, even as temperatures warm.
