Lionshead Fire update for Monday, Oct. 5  REDMOND, Ore. – Fire officials and representatives of the Stahlman Cabins community are discussing plans for residents’ reentry and crews are working with Mt. Hood National Forest personnel to repair and winterize recreational cabins at Olallie Lake.  Sunday, monitoring crews hiked out to assess fire activity within islands of unburned vegetation in the northeastern corner of the fire, reporting it is at least 3,000 feet within the black a fire term for previously burned ground. Areas of active burning are also being monitored in the “finger” to the north.   Helicopters dropped water on several visible smokes to the southeast of Mt. Bruno, but had to stop when afternoon shadows made it too dark to fly safely. Smoke columns large and tall enough to see from a distance signify active burning. In inaccessible areas, water drops are used to cool the fire, slowing its progressing and reducing its intensity. That work will...

Roseburg, Oregon, Oct. 4, 2020 – A Burned Area Emergency Response (B.A.E.R.) Team started on Saturday, October 3, in Roseburg, Oregon to begin their assessment of the Archie Creek Fire. The fire covered slightly over 131,000 acres within the Umpqua National Forest, Roseburg Bureau of Land Management lands, and neighboring state and private lands. BAER is an emergency program aimed at managing imminent unacceptable risks to human life and safety, property, or critical natural and cultural resources from post-wildfire damaging events. The primary purpose of the BAER program is to assess and prevent damage from rain events on burned areas. The Team, comprised of U.S. Forest Service & Department of Interior employees who specialize in multiple resource areas, is conducting field surveys and using science-based models to rapidly assess watersheds on all lands, then inventory values at risk and determine the need for emergency measures and treatments on National Forest lands. The Team...

Springfield, Ore. Containment continues to progress on the Holiday Farm Fire.  The 173,094-acre fire is now 75 contained.  In addition to the 20 hand crews, 39 fire engines, 4 dozers, and 7 water tenders, there are another 18 pieces of heavy equipment assisting with the restoration work on the fire.  Suppression restoration work is occurring in many areas around the fire. This work is led by specially qualified personnel called Resource Advisors.  The Resource Advisors on the fire determine areas that need special attention to prevent erosion, or return the area back to its pre-fire condition. Besides the work that has already been detailed, there are other pieces of restoration planned.  This work includes pump site repair, where stream beds are assessed and repaired if needed will occur.  Roads that may have seen heavy use will be re-shaped and graded if necessary, and ditches will be cleaned of all debris to ensure they continue to function and minimize erosion on the...

Lionshead Fire update for Sunday, Oct. 4   REDMOND, Ore. – Fire officials wish to remind the public that all roads within the Deschutes National Forest’s Lionshead Fire Area Emergency Closure remain closed to protect the public and ensure safe, unobstructed travel for firefighters as they work.   In recent days, firefighters have encountered numerous civilians within the closure area and even within the fire footprint. Unauthorized access puts motorists at risk of accidents or injuries from falling trees or fire burning across a roadway, in addition to accidents involving engines, equipment or other fire-related vehicles.   If a civilian is injured or a motorist is stranded, help may not be readily available, or slower in responding. While all firefighters have some level of first aid training, they may not come across the scene in a timely fashion, or be able to bring in an ambulance. This also takes firefighters away from their work fighting the fire and ensuring it does...

Resource Advisors (READs) represent a variety of specialties, including archaeology, wildlife, timber and natural resources. During suppression activities, archaeological READs work closely with firefighters to identify values at risk and strategies for protecting them from the fire itself and also suppression work. For example, a hand or dozer line might need to be rerouted in order to avoid damaging a cultural site. Aluminized structure wrap can be applied to historic cabins and other buildings – what firefighters call a “baked potato” – to prevent embers or sparks from setting them on fire. Depending on the intensity of the fire, it can also protect a structure through a burnover.On the Lionshead Fire, READs worked with crews to wrap the Mt. Hood National Forest’s Olallie Meadows Cabin, which was built in 1910, and is now used as a recreation rental; and the original Bagby Guard Station cabin, which was built in 1913. Both structures are on the National Register of...

Springfield, Ore. Firefighters continue to make progress on the 173,094-acre Holiday Farm Fire.  There are approximately 450 firefighters on the ground during the day-shift.  Night shift is smaller, with approximately 20 personnel on the ground.  Through all of the hard work on both day and night shifts, the fire is now 73% contained. Many of sections of the fire line have been patrolled and gridded for smokes.  With fewer hot spots near the control line, many crews are being tasked with suppression repair work.  One facet of suppression repair is installing water bars.  These features are constructed in fire lines and roads to help with erosion control on slopes. Another part of suppression repair is to open up the dozer berms that are created when bulldozers are used to create fire line.  Crews methodically tear down these berms and ensure there is no heat in them.  The fire lines will be seeded so that the new vegetation can help stabilize soils in the short-term. Crews are...
