Overnight the Bootleg Fire saw a significant increase in activity and acres burned. The predicted high winds and low humidity associated with the Red Flag Warning contributed to the increase in fire activity. Due to mechanical issues, the Infrared (IR) Flight was not completed but fire managers and geographic information system specialist have worked to ground truth firefighter inputs and satellite data to produce an updated perimeter for the fire. The new acreage is estimated at 343,755 and containment remains at 25%. Red Flag Warnings for high winds and low humidity are in place again for Monday, July 19th and the potential to experience another day of large fire growth is possible. IR Flights are one of several data tools used to build map products for wildland fire incidents. Aircraft are equipped with thermal sensors and used to detect heat signatures and support developing incident perimeters. Other data sources that support the development of these mapping products include...

Current Situation: The fire perimeter to the north and east, along the South Fork of the Asotin Creek and Peola road is contained and remains in patrol status. To the southeast, established fireline was wind tested by strong northern winds picking up embers from some trees torching on the interior of the fireline. Crews continued to maintain and improve fireline in that area and will patroll during day and night operations. Firelines near the Cloverland snow park area and Forest Service road 43 continue to be improved and are on track to be put into a patrol status soon. The southwest line of the fire also received higher winds during the night creating spot fires that night crews were able to contain. Patrolling and gridding of the area will continue as fireline is improved and hotspots are identified. Gridding is the action of searching for a small fire by systematically traveling over an area on parallel courses or gridlines. The west side of the fire has remained stable allowing...
