 Actualización de los incendios White River e Irving Peak 3 de septiembre de 2022 - 9:00 AMPlain, WA – Los incendios de White River e Irving Peak fueron iniciados por rayos el 11 de agosto. Estos arden en el Bosque Nacional Okanagan-Wenatchee, al noroeste de Plain, WA.Estrategia de extinción: Los directores de los incendios están refinando una estrategia a largo plazo que incluye el uso de líneas perimetrales primarias y de contingencia para la contención. Las tácticas incluyen la finalización y el refuerzo de los cortafuegos (carreteras y línea de mano).Operaciones: Empezando mañana, un patrón de clima más estacional y frío se desplaza sobre el área del incendio lo que moderará el comportamiento del fuego. En las próximas semanas puede ser que el humo siga visible mientras que siguen ardiendo y quemándose los combustibles interiores que quedan.

Current Situation: Fire activity was moderate yesterday due to cloud cover in the morning and higher humidities. Firefighters attempted to engage the fire where it crossed the retardant line near Edith Creek, but could not gain safe access because of extremely steep slopes. Firefighters initiated a strategic firing operation in the southwest area of the fire on Forest Service Road 2421. Humidities were very high, making ignition difficult, but they were able to make some progress. Today, fire behavior is expected to be slow and steady because of seasonal weather in the forecast. Today’s Activities: Fire managers have started implementing a new plan in the southeast area of the fire, where the fire crossed over the fire-retardant line. Crews will be enhancing the area around Black Creek to use as a barrier to stop fire growth to the south. In the northern area, firefighters are utilizing Winchester Trail as a checking line to slow fire growth. In the southwest, crews are utilizing...

 White River and Irving Peak Fires Update September 4, 2022 - 9:00 AM Plain, WA – Lightning started the White River and Irving Peak Fires on August 11. The fires are burning on the Okanagan-Wenatchee National Forest, northwest of Plain, WA.  Suppression Strategy – Fire managers are continuing to implement our long-term strategy including the use of primary and contingency perimeter lines for containment. Tactics include completion and reinforcement of fire lines (roads and hand line). Operations – A more seasonal, cooler weather pattern moves over the fire area tomorrow moderating fire behavior. Smoke may continue to be visible over the next several weeks as remaining interior fuels continue to smolder and burn out. Firefighters will continue to actively manage both fires over the coming weeks with a long-term strategy in place. Due to moderating fire behavior, fire updates will transition to every other day meaning there will be no update tomorrow. Daily updates may resume...

Containment rises on Rum Creek Fire MERLIN, Ore. – Firefighters are taking advantage of cooler, more humid weather to make progress containing the Rum Creek Fire. In the last few days, containment has risen to 27%. “Containment” is an expression of confidence that the control lines will hold given the expected fire behavior and weather. Nearly the entire Rum Creek Fire is encircled by well-defined control lines. Natural fire spread or tactical firing operations have burned the fuels adjacent to these lines. Crews are mopping up burned areas near the fire’s edges, searching for any hidden pockets of heat that might flare up later and allow the fire to escape fire lines. All of these remaining hot spots must be extinguished to secure the fire edge. Portions of the fire line will not be declared “contained” until fire managers agree that pieces of fire perimeter have been thoroughly cooled and will not escape. An increase in containment represents a lot of work: planning...

Crockets Knob Fire UpdateNORTHWEST INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAM 12Incident Commanders: Jeff Dimke and Bobby Shindelar September 04, 2022 Weather:Lighter winds from the west and northwest at less than 10mph are expected along ridgetops today. Skies will be clear most of the day. Conditions will be very dry and temperatures above normal, into the 80s and lower 90s. Operations: Yesterday, winds gusting up to speeds of 50 mph on the ridgetops challenged firefighting efforts on the north edge of the fire. Even with lower temperatures and an increase in relative humidity, fire activity continued to test containment lines. Firefighters were able to locate and contain several spot fires west of FSR 45 with the support of aircraft. Several smokejumpers have been assigned on the north end of the fire to wrap the Indian Rock Lookout with protective, heat-resistant fabric. Increased fire activity and high winds in the area have created challenges to accomplishing the project. Wrapping of the lookout...

Thor Fire Update 09.04.22  Size: approx. 800 acres  Containment: 0%  Cause: lightning  Location: east of Sullivan Lake  Fuels: Timber  Personnel Assigned: 22  Fire information contact: ‪(509) 720-7418‬ | https://www.facebook.com/colvillenf | www.fs.usda.gov/colville ‬‬  Newport, Wash., (September 4, 2022) —  There was an increase of activity on the Thor Fire over the last few days when Red Flag weather conditions impacted the fire area. Elevated temperatures and increased winds contributed to fire growth inside the containment line.  Due to the steep, rugged terrain and heavy dead and down timber litter, it is unsafe for firefighters to engage directly along the fire edge, so indirect line is being utilized toward the objective of full suppression.  There is a closure in place on the Colville National Forest. The closure encompasses: Sullivan Creek/Pass Creek- This closure begins at the junction of the NFS Road 2200500/2200250 and the NFS Road 2200000 to...

 Operación de tácticas incendiarias ayudo a la supresión del Incendio CreekMERLIN, Ore. – Desde el miércoles, el confinamiento del Incendio Rum Creek a aumentado de 1 a 27 porciento, la mayor parte debido a las tácticas exitosas de las operaciones de quema y por la construcción de líneas directas. Sobre el flanco suroeste del incendio, los bomberos han logrado limpiar hasta unos 50 pies amortiguados entre las líneas de control recientemente quemadas. Después de haber extinguido dos espacios en llamas, las tácticas de patrullaje expandieron la limpieza desde unos 200 a 300 pies alrededor de la comunidad de Galice. Limpieza, es el proceso de extinguir o remover material quemado cerca de las líneas de control, talando enganches y zanjeando troncos para prevenir que estos rueden libremente después de que el área fue quemada. La cima entre 60 y 80 grados en el canon del rio y cercana a los drenajes hacen del zanjeo una parte clave para prevenir que rocas y troncos rueden...
