Incident Summary: There was little to no fire growth on the Rough Patch Complex yesterday. Warmer temperatures occurred across the Complex, and fuel moistures decreased. As a result, both smoldering and smoke generation increased throughout the day. Fire crews made good progress securing spot fire activity on the north and northeast side of Chaos Fire. Suppression repair work took place on the east side of the Complex. Warm and breezy weather is forecast later this week. Today will be the final day for Great Basin Team 2. The Pacific Northwest Type 2 Team 7, Jason Loomis Incident Commander, will assume command of the Rough Patch Jack Complex tomorrow at 6am. Chaos and Little Bend Fires: The Chaos Fire is 28,841 acres, and the Little Bend Fire is 9,417 acres. Firefighters secured several spot fires on the northeast corner of the Chaos Fire along the 2460 road. On the Little Bend Fire, suppression repair teams worked to keep soils in place and remove debris from drainages areas. Crews...

 Cougar Peak Fire Update Northwest Incident Management Team 8, Incident Commander Kevin Stock September 21, 2021   Northwest Incident Management Team 12, led by Incident Commander Jeff Dimke will be shadowing NWIMT 8 to learn about the Cougar Peak Fire before taking command on Thursday morning.   Lakeview Ore. – The precipitation from past days and cooler weather have helped firefighters make great strides toward containment of the Cougar Peak Fire. Resources continue to mop-up as large fuels across the fire area continue to smolder and put-up smoke. Suppression repairs to dozer line berms and backhaul of equipment has started in contained areas across the fire. Yesterday, crews worked to finish line construction on the south-western side and continued mop-up. Along the western edge fire, managers continue to assess options for line and mop-up along the 3910 road. There is still a fair amount of heat in the area and as the humidity continues to drop, and temperatures rise,...

Ayer y anoche: las temperaturas cálidas provocaron un leve aumento en la actividad del incendio. Los bomberos en la zona de Goose Prairie y Bumping Lake pudieron retirar las medidas de protección adentro y cerca del campamento de Bumping Lake, ya que la zona fue identificada como de bajo riesgo. Las actividades de exploración fueron exitosas cerca de la zona de Forest Road (FS) 1791-364 y los equipos trabajaron para instalar una línea de contención desde Forest Road hasta Bumping River. A lo largo del resto del perímetro del incendio (al sur de Cliffdell desde la Carretera 410 hasta la Carretera 12, y desde la Carretera 12 hacia el oeste), los equipos recogieron los equipos sobrantes y monitorearon el perímetro del incendio. El personal contra incendios patrulló las estructuras y monitoreó el incendio durante la noche.  Hoy: se estima que las temperaturas regresarán a sus valores habituales de temporada, sobre los 70º Fahrenheit (21˚C), y con vientos...

Fire and WeatherHigh pressure aloft will build into northern OR and WA bringing NE to E winds. Closer to the surface, a thermal trough will develop to the south bringing SE-E winds. These systems will bring warmer and drier weather to the area. A weak front will move through on Wednesday but will only provide some relief in the form of lower temperatures and a bit higher humidity. Winds out of the east are possible Thursday, switching to the SW on Friday. Fire activity will increase as fuels continue to dry. Fuels exposed to sunlight and wind will dry faster. In the meantime, larger fuels will continue to smolder and burn, and will help dry light fuels that are within close proximity.SmokeToday an increase in hot spot activity can be expected, generating smoke that will likely find its way down slope and down canyon overnight. McKenzie Bridge may see smoke pushed into the McKenzie River Valley as SE winds make their way across the fire area. Today, SW winds at upper elevations can be...

Yesterday and Overnight: Warmer temperatures caused a slight increase in fire activity. Firefighters within the Goose Prairie and Bumping Lake area were able to remove protection measures in and around the Bumping Lake campground due to this area now being identified as low risk. Scouting efforts were successful near the Forest Road (FS) 1791-364 area and crews worked on building containment line down from the forest road to Bumping River. Along the rest of the perimeter of the fire (south of Cliffdell along Highway 410 to Highway 12 and from Highway 12 westward), crews collected excess equipment and monitored the fire perimeter. Fire personnel patrolled structures and monitored the fire throughout the night.  Today: Temperatures are expected to warm back to seasonal norm around 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21˚C) with southeasterly wind conditions. Removal of structure protection in and around the Bumping Lake campground will resume. Firefighters will be...

RIPPLEBROOK, Ore. – Fire managers continue to focus on completing control lines in order to minimize the fire footprint.   Recent infrared flights indicate areas of heat still existing within the fire perimeter. With the warmer, drier weather this week fuels could dry out enough to see some fire growth.  Where fire continues on the landscape containment lines are being established and improved. In areas where fire behavior has moderated, firefighters will begin suppression repair operations. Suppression repair focuses on stabilizing and protecting the burned area.  Repair measures on steep slopes have been prioritized to reduce erosion.  The creation of water bars, which channel and slow water into unburned green areas, will reduce the probability of future erosion.  This work includes loosening soils compacted by heavy equipment to increase absorption of precipitation.  Redistributing berms of soil and vegetative material created by securing fire line with heavy equipment...

Fire and Weather:The Rough Patch Fire is 50,290 acres and the Devil's Knob is 69,871 acres. The fires are 41% and 49% contained respectively. Warmer and faster winds today will continue to dry dead forest wood and debris, however, there remains quite a bit of moisture in the surface soils which will contribute to muted fire activity today and tomorrow. Smoke: The small, isolated hot spots within the containment area may become more active today, however should not produce very much smoke. Southeast and later Southwest winds will blow residual smoke from the fires to the northeast. Expect to see haze in the sky above the fire areas. Oregon from I-5 east to Hwy. 97 should experience Good air quality. Tomorrow morning southern Oregon may have  moderate air quality because of smoke from fires in central California, but the air should clear by noon as winds carry smoke to the

Incident Summary: On Monday morning, Lane County Sheriff's Office rescinded the level 3 evacuation order on the Chaos Fire for the Bohemia Mining District.  There are currently no evacuation notifications for the Rough Patch Complex or Jack Fire. Additional containment was added on the east side of the Little Bend Fire boosting the Rough Patch Complex containment to 41%. Fuel moistures are still high from this weekend's rain event. Firefighters observed some isolated smoldering and smoke across the complex; however, there was no surface spread. Aerial reconnaissance along the northern portion of the Chaos Fire confirmed that no structures were damaged during last week’s fire growth. The weather will be warm and breezy this week; however, fire growth should be minimal in the coming days. Chaos and Little Bend Fires:  The Chaos Fire is 28,748 acres, and the Little Bend Fire is 9,408 acres.  Crews began installing hose lays to secure spot fires that crossed over the 2460 road on the...

Minimal fire behavior with backing, creeping, and smoldering activity occurred on the Cedar Creek and Cub Creek 2 fires this week. The 55,572-acre Cedar Creek is now 87% contained and Cub Creek Fire, at 70,186 acres, is 90% contained. No activity was observed on the Delancy Fire. Temperatures will remain cool, but humidity values will begin to drop compared to the previous two days. Fire spread is anticipated to be limited to interior pockets and along the active fire perimeter in remote terrain with mainly smoldering and creeping behavior. Crews and heavy equipment continue to complete suppression repair across both fire areas, repairing firelines, felling hazard trees along roads, chipping debris, and repairing roads damaged by suppression activity.  Closure Area Update: As of September 20, the closure order for each fire has changed due to changing fire conditions and progress made to complete suppression repair.
