 Conconully, WA: The Muckamuck Fire started by lightning on Saturday August 4, 2021. The fire is located in and around the Town of Conconully, Washington. Mixed conifer with dead and downed materials are the primary fuel source along with ponderosa pine, sagebrush, and cured grass meadows. The fire is estimated at 13,314 (this could change with more accurate mapping) and is now 75% contained. During the first phase of the fire there were 4 primary and 3 secondary structures lost. The fire is located on lands managed by the Colville National Forest. There are trails, recreation areas, and road closures in effect. Fire activity continues on the northwest and northeast portions of the fire. This activity is from unburned fuels within the perimeter and from shoring up containment lines. Infrared (IR) technology is being used to locate hot spots which allows crews to be efficient in their efforts. The southwest and southeast areas are primarily in patrol status. Crews will continue...

Winthrop, Washington—Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) specialists recently completed data gathering and analysis for the area burned in the Cub Creek 2 and Cedar Creek Fires to produce soil burn severity maps for each fire. Developing a postfire soil burn severity map is an important first step in the rapid assessment process. It enables BAER teams to prioritize field reviews and identify areas that may pose a risk to critical values within or downstream of the burned area. The map displays soil burn severity in four categories: areas of very low or unburned, low, moderate, or high.The Cub Creek 2 Fire burned a total of 70,818 acres: 18% very low or unburned, 41% low, 26% moderate, and 15% high.The Cedar Creek Fire burned a total of 55,248 acres. 11% very low or unburned, 41% low, 33% moderate, and 15% high.The soil burn severity maps are available in both JPEG and PDF formats and can be viewed and downloaded under the "Related Information" header below or the "Maps" tab of...
