Rum Creek Fire Update for Saturday, August 27th (Rum Creek Fire Wildfire)
Windy conditions push Rum Creek Fire southward MERLIN, Ore. – Firefighters worked through the night to protect the area between Rand and Galice, and aerial reconnaissance this morning confirmed no structures or homes have been lost in those communities. Additional resources are being ordered, including leadership and operations of the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Incident Management Team 1 as the fire shifts to a unified command with the additional ODF-protected lands. An Oregon State Fire Marshal’s team is also being integrated to assist in management of structural fire protection. Late Friday afternoon, strong valley winds and hot temperatures fanned the fire near Grave Creek, increasing fire activity and throwing sparks out of the established perimeter to both sides of the river, which created spot fires that began making fast uphill runs. The increased intensity of the fire formed a pyrocumulus smoke column, which then collapsed, pushing the fire to the south and...
White River and Irving Peak Fires Update August 27, 2022 (White River Wildfire)
Plain, WA – Lightning started the White River and Irving Peak Fires on August 11. They are burning on the Okanagan-Wenatchee National Forest, approximately 15 miles northwest of Plain, WA. Operations: Yesterday’s wind brought increased fire activity and growth along the southern and southeastern flanks of the Irving Peak Fire. Minimal growth on the White River Fire was observed due to helicopters checking the fire’s spread into the afternoon along the southeastern perimeter. High winds gusting to 40 mph prevented the use of helicopters in the late afternoon. Chippers continued their work west along the Little Wenatchee Road and the 6504 Road. Dozers and masticators are opening and improving the road system north of Little Wenatchee Road to use as a fire line if needed. Today, five engines and the Lakeview Hotshots will monitor the northern perimeter of the White River Fire if the fire approaches the prepared fire lines. Engines and firefighters working south of the White River...
