13 de septiembre de 2018Ayer casi no hubo ningún desplazamiento en los incendios Crescent o Holman, se observó movimiento mínimo en McLeod. Hubo desplazamiento y actividad ardiente en secciones del incendio y el interior persistió bajo cubierta de nube, precipitación y alta humedad relativa. Dos días de lluvia no fueron lo suficientemente significativos como para saturar los combustibles pesados. Actividad de humo y fuego seguirá siendo visible hasta que el área reciba mucha lluvia o la primera caída de nieve.Incendio Crescent Mountain: los objetivos siguen siendo los mismos para hoy. La prioridad sigue en la seguridad de los bomberos y el público. Cuadrillas continuarán patrullando, extinguiendo material combustible y removiendo equipo y provisiones de los cortafuegos seguros. Bomberos están buscando oportunidades para asegurar la esquina suroeste del incendio cerca de Buttermilk Creek. La intención es limitar el tamaño del incendio y minimizar los impactos a las...

September 13, 2018No measureable movement on Crescent, or Holman Fires was observed yesterday, minimal movement observed on McLeod. Creeping and smoldering along sections of the fire and in the interior persisted under cloud cover, precipitation and high relative humidity. Two days of rain were not significant enough to saturate heavy fuels. Smoke and fire activity will still be visible until this area receives a soaking rain or the first blanket of snow.Crescent Mountain Fire: Objectives remain the same for today. Firefighters and public safety remain the first priority. Crews will continue to patrol, mop up and remove equipment and supplies from secured fire lines. Firefighters are scouting for opportunities to secure the southwest corner of the fire near Buttermilk Creek. The intent is to limit fire size and minimize impacts to private lands, timber, grazing and habitat among other values at risk. McLeod Fire: The fire continues to slowly back downhill in the Lost River drainage....

Overview Klondike Fire West Zone Yesterday, moderate fire activity continued. Because of drier high-level winds, the fire activity was more active on the highest ridge tops. In the Indigo Creek drainage near Silver Peak, helicopter bucket drops will be used today to help control fire spread. Crews will continue mop up between Game Lake and Saddle Mountain. When conditions allow, crews will begin tactical firing operations along the 150 Road down toward Indigo Creek and East along the 2308 Road toward Bear Camp Road. At the mine in the Little Silver Creek, hose lays and structure protection are in place should the fire advance onto private land. Klondike Fire East Zone and Taylor Creek Fire Fire-weakened trees continue to send debris onto roads. Crews are working to mitigate this hazard to provide safe entry when the roads are again open to the public. Recovery of timber removed during the suppression effort is also ongoing. Suppression repair continues on containment lines on...

FireThe Klondike Fire added about 861 acres of growth yesterday for a total of 135,556 acres. Cool moist air with slight chance of scattered showers expected again today. Fuels will continue to smolder in the interior portions of the fire footprint. If conditions allow there may be some firing operations on the North side of the fire to improve containment. Smoke Today Winds today will be from the southwest in the morning shifting to the west in the late afternoon. Smoke may increase in the afternoon as fuels dry out for a short period. Coastal communities should stay clear. Agness will likely experience degraded air quality in the early afternoon. Illinois Valley communities will likely see moderate conditions most of the day with some heavier smoke in the late afternoon. Rogue River Valley communities, Medford, and Ashland will likely see more smoke today than yesterday. Smoke TomorrowConditions tomorrow should be similar to

Happy Camp, CA – The forecast calls for seasonally cool temperatures today and tomorrow with excellent relative humidity recovery. This cooler period should last into the weekend. Warm and dry weather is expected to return next week. Yesterday’s Activities: Fire behavior was smoldering and creeping with uncontained fire edge moving slowly to the south. Crews monitored the fire along the peaks, ridges and containment lines on the west flank. Firefighters continued repairing the contingency fireline located west of the fire from Crazy Peak to the south and continued suppression repair on the east side. Repair work on 115 miles of roads used for fire suppression activities is about 25% complete. The helibase moved from the Illinois Valley airport to the Happy Camp airport. Today’s Activities: Two Wildland Fire Modules (crews of 7-10 firefighters specializing in back-country fire suppression) will camp out near the western edge of the fire to monitor fire behavior and assess...

Malheur National Forest fire officials are monitoring conditions on the Forest and preparing to implement the fall prescribed fire program. Prescribed fires, also known as controlled burns, refer to the planned and controlled use of fire by a team of highly skilled fire managers under specific conditions. During the fall months, the Forest has a number of planning units, ranging in size from 150 acres up to 4000 acres, scheduled for prescribed fire operations. Prescribed fires are conducted within specific parameters including temperature, relative humidity, fuel moisture, and wind speed. Implementation is dependent upon these and other necessary conditions. Should conditions allow, crews may start operations on some smaller units as early as Friday, September 14, 2018. Fall burning will build upon efforts in the spring and early summer of 2018 when the Forest safely and successfully accomplished prescribed fire operations on approximately 4,500 acres. Spring operations reduced...

Cougar Creek and Lost Fires Fire management continues to right-size Wednesday, September 12, 2018 Acreage: 42,712 Containment: 79 percent Personnel: 84 Cause: Lightning Incident Mgt Team: Whitehall’s Okanogan-Wenatchee Team (Type 3) Phone: 509-664-9210 Email: cougarcreekfireinfo2018@gmail.com Inciweb: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/6053 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cougarcreekfire Sign up for Daily Updates: https://bit.ly/2sRTpMp Fire Management: Randy Whitehall’s Type 3 Team took over command of the fires at 6:00 pm on Tuesday evening. Type 3 Teams are smaller organizations with less Incident Command System positions filled. This change reflects the decreasing complexity and fire behavior across the fire area. The majority of Whitehall’s Team are firefighters from the Entiat-Wenatchee-Leavenworth area and are intimately familiar with local topography and fuels. The Incident Command Post at the Leavenworth Fish Hatchery is being dismantled and the fire...

Miriam Fire Update Fire Information Line: 509-655-1468 August 12, 2018 – 12:30 p.m. Acres: Miriam Fire – 5,330 acres Percent Containment: 50% Start Date: 07/30/18 Current Situation: Crews took advantage of cooler and wetter weather to dig new handline to keep the fire’s recent fire growth south of Round Mountain ridge and north of the Forest Service 530 Spur Road. Driven by winds this weekend, the Miriam Fire pushed past the control line in the vicinity of Hell Creek and Round Mountain areas, resulting in a reduction in percentage of containment. In response, the number of personnel has grown as firefighters continue to work to increase the containment. This includes the today’s addition of the 20-person Entiat Interagency Hotshot Crew. Firefighters will continue to take advantage of the damp weather to concentrate on fortifying the indirect line to hold the new fire growth in check. While many areas of the fire have experienced scattered...

Overview Klondike Fire West Zone Increased moisture in the air is reducing fire activity, as well as ability for tactical firing. This trend is expected to continue for most of this week. Firefighters are continuing to improve control lines and mop up hot spots close to the fire perimeter. Helicopters will be assisting with these efforts. As incidents evolve, mapping usually becomes more precise. Today’s map shows unburned area between Saddle Mountain and Collier Butte that was shown on prior maps as within the fire perimeter. This change resulted in a slight adjustment to fire acreage. Klondike Fire East Zone and Taylor Creek Fire Fire-weakened trees continue to send debris cascading down onto roads, and crews are working to mitigate these hazard to provide safe entry when the roads are again open to the public. Recovery of timber removed during the suppression effort is also ongoing. Suppression repair continues on containment lines on the Taylor Creek fire. This includes...

Total acres for the Iron East Fire is approximately 150 acres.Ensuring public safety and the safety of firefighters is the utmost priority as firefighters work to contain the fire. The fire is burning primarily in dry, dead and downed woody debris. These fuels retain the fire’s heat longer than twigs and grasses. Bees also continue to be an issue for firefighters in the forest.The western portion of the fire is 16 acres and has line around the perimeter. Mop up of this fire is expected to finish by Friday.The wind rapidly expanded the eastern fire earlier in the week indicated by its long narrow footprint. On Tuesday night, crews removed fuels by ignition in the northeast corner of the fire to bolster protection of structures to the north and reduce the likeliness of spread. Crews will take the controlled burning down the hill on Thursday and Friday to strengthen the firelines. The eastern portion of the fire is approximately 130 acres. A cool and showery weather pattern is expected...

12 de septiembre de 2018La actividad del incendio se ha moderado debido a las temperaturas frescas, los vientos relativamente bajos y la humedad relativa más alta. Los incendios de Crescent y McLeod recibieron reportes de precipitación ayer que contribuyeron al aumento en la contención. La lluvia del martes no saturó completamente los combustibles, aunque cualquier precipitación ayuda a reducir el potencial de propagación de fuego. Aún será visible la actividad de humo y fuego. Hasta que esta área reciba mucha lluvia o la primera de nieve, los troncos y otros combustibles de tierra continuarán ardiendo y causando humo. Ya que la actividad de fuego y la contención ha aumentado, los bomberos ya no trabajarán turnos nocturnos.Incendio Crescent Mountain: las cuadrillas seguirán patrullando, extinguiendo material combustible y retirando equipo y provisiones de cortafuegos asegurados cerca de las residencias donde es seguro hacerlo.

Fire The Klondike Fire added about 450 acres of growth yesterday for a total of 134,695 acres. Cool moist air with chances of scattered showers should continue to put a damper on active fire behavior today. Fuels will continue to smolder in the interior portions of the fire footprint even with the damp air. Smoke Today Winds today will be mostly northwest, and smoke should be relatively light today. Illinois River Valley communities (Agness, Selma, and Cave Junction) should have some smoke impacts in the morning and afternoon. Communities in the Rogue River Valley should see mostly good air quality with potential for some smoke in the late afternoon and evening. Coastal communities should have good air quality most of the day.Smoke Tomorrow Tomorrow smoke production should be similarly light. Winds will shift more to the southwest pushing smoke to the northeast. Merlin and Grants Pass may get more smoke tomorrow than today, while Selma and Cave Junction should get less smoke tomorrow...

September 12, 2018 Update Fire activity has moderated due to cool temperatures, relatively low winds and higher relative humidity. Crescent and McLeod Fires received reports of precipitation yesterday which contributed to increased containment. Rain received Tuesday did not fully saturate fuels, although any precipitation helps reduce fire spread potential. Smoke and fire activity will still be visible. Until this area receives a soaking rain or the first blanket of snow, stumps, downed logs, and other ground fuels will continue to smolder and smoke. With reduced fire activity and increased containment, firefighters will no longer work night shifts.Crescent Mountain Fire: Crews will continue to patrol, mop up and remove equipment and supplies from secured fire lines near residences where it is safe to do so. The fire remains active along the lines in the areas near Buttermilk Creek and along the ridgelines near Lake Chelan. Firefighters strive to limit the fire size and minimize...
