 Sweet Home, Oregon – Today, the South Cascade Interagency Type 3 Team will progressively increase mop-up depth. Additionally, they will address concerns related to indirect lines and unburned fuels between containment lines and the burnt edge of the fire perimeter. They will continue to use hose lays with sprinklers, which has led to an increase in mop-up effectiveness, especially in areas with a heavy concentration of fuels. Heavy equipment will be used to prepare indirect lines in preparation for typical seasonal wind events that occur in August and September. Containment has increased to 65%. Our team will continue to decrease in size as more work is accomplished.   A southern wind flow will remain over the incident today and then shift to the southwest on Monday. Mid and high-level moisture will continue to stream north over the next couple of days. Temperatures and humidity are expected to return to seasonally average conditions over the next few days with no major weather...

Inchelium, Wa. – Changing weather conditions may moderate fire behavior on the Summit Trail Fire today as potential rain and thunderstorms move into the fire area. Accompanying those storms will be erratic and gusty winds, which could bring gusts of up to 40 mph. Still, with temperatures expected to be 10-15 degrees cooler today than yesterday, fire crews are anticipating diminished fire activity in certain parts of the fire, which will allow them to continue their work to contain the fire as small as possible. Where direct line isn’t feasible, crews are scouting and establishing contingency lines to both the east and west of the fire, with both hand crews and heavy machinery working in cooperation to establish these lines.A majority of the fire’s growth yesterday, just under 2,000 acres, occurred to the northwest; overall containment remains at 12%.Structure and contingency groups near Twin Lakes are building containment lines and strengthening defensible space around...

These favorable conditions have allowed crews on the ground, with continued air support, to make good progress on the fire line. The entire perimeter has been closed and crews are working to expand the width of the line, extinguish residual heat and flames, cut snags so they don’t roll downslope taking embers with them, and use bulldozers to straighten the ragged edge on the east side of the fire. Because there haven’t been more spot fires or breaches of the line, the Incident Management Team has been able to allocate necessary resources to focus on the active areas of the fire and...

Wallowa, OR – The weather system expected to cross over the Elbow Creek Fire did arrive last night, but the predicted precipitation amounts did not. The fire area received 1/10 of an inch that was expected to receive up to ¾ inch. Some areas south of Wallowa received as much as one inch of rain. The Red Flag Warning, that was forecasted to be in effect through today, has been cancelled. On the plus side, the fire’s spread has been stopped, remaining 22,960 acres. Containment has reached 71 percent. While the moisture has moderated fire activity, that effect will be short-lived as weather is expected to be warmer and drier over the next few days.      With the fire growth essentially in check, work objectives around the entire fire will be similar from division to division – mop up and deepen the perimeter to mop up objectives. Special attention continues in the Elbow Creek Drainage and Sickfoot Creek. Work also continues on the north contingency line along the 62 road...

Fire Brisk winds from the NW yesterday led to growth on the Cedar Creek fire in the area of Thompson Ridge to Gobblers knob, current size is estimated at 45,719. The Cub Creek 2 fire is 54,858 acres and 24% contained. Intermittent rain, cooler temperatures, and higher humidity give the firefighters some good opportunities for progress fighting these fires although poor visibility may make for limited ability for aerial water drops.Smoke Air quality remains very impaired throughout the Methow Valley and smoke has now traveled south to affect Chelan, Wenatchee, and beyond. The Okanogan Valley is not getting a break from the smoke either as fires in Canada and on the Colville reservation mean smoke comes their way no matter which way the wind blows. Smoke accumulated throughout the Columbia Basin overnight and most monitors east of the Cascades are showing impaired air quality. Areas that have avoided smoke impacts thus far in the fire season are now experiencing impaired...
