Fire The Klondike Fire is 72% contained. There was no infrared (IR) flight yesterday to observe fire growth, therefore there are no updates to total acreage. Minimal fire spread is expected today due to residual fuel moisture from yesterday's wet weather. Some creeping and smoldering is expected around Indigo Creek, Horse Sign Drainage, and within the fire interior. Smoke Today The rains brought good air quality throughout the area yesterday. A light increase in smoke production can be expected today. Winds will be from the NE in the morning, shifting to NW winds in the afternoon. Areas to the southwest can expect light to moderate smoke in the morning and again overnight when winds shift back the the NE. Areas to the south of fire activity may experience light to moderate smoke impacts throughout the day. Areas to the east may experience moderate to light smoke in the early afternoon.

Overview Klondike Fire West Zone Fire activity was minimal yesterday with some fire growth reported in the Indigo Creek and Silver Creek drainages. Helicopters were used to keep these areas of growth in check. Small amounts of rain fell over the western portions of the fire area, but not enough to change fire behavior significantly on a long-term basis. A drying trend is forecast for the area and is expected to bring about a rise in fire activity for the next few days. Firefighters are continuing to focus on mopping up and holding the fireline, as well as felling snags and fire-damaged trees along forest roadways. Road graders will continue repair work on the roads and contingency lines west of the fire perimeter. Work on construction of check lines between the North Fork of Indigo Creek and Cedar Mountain, which are in place as potential control lines, should be completed today. Klondike Fire East Zone and Taylor Creek Fire Inside the fire zone, firefighters are identifying...

September 16, 2018This weekend, a special team of staff from the McKenzie River Ranger District are working to mitigate hazards posed by fire weakened and damaged trees around the Terwilliger Hot Springs. The fire burned through the springs with varying levels of severity. Approximately five burned trees that pose the most imminent danger of falling and further damaging the springs and the rock work constructed around them, were felled. Only the minimum number of staff needed to do this work are entering the area due to the myriad of fire hazards that remain in the vicinity of the springs and along Aufderheide Scenic Byway (Forest Service Road
