Crockets Knob Fire (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
Because of minimal fire activity, there will no longer be any additional updates to InciWeb, unless fire conditions change. The Crockets Knob Fire was transferred to a local Type 4 IC at 1800 on Thursday, September 15th. The Crockets Knob Fire was reported on the morning of August 22, 2022, after significant lightning occurred across the Malheur National Forest. The initial report was approximately 15 acres burning in brush, timber and slash within the 1996 Summit Fire scar. Numerous air and ground fire resources responded to suppress the fire. Gusty winds and steep, rugged terrain resulted in increased fire behavior and limited access for crews. Overnight on August 23rd and into the early hours of August 24th, east winds pushed the fire over constructed containment lines, and the fire grew to 225 acres. The afternoon of August 25th brought considerable fire growth to the south/southeast, increasing its footprint from 225 acres to 1,000 acres. Over the next several days the fire...

Clover Fire (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
10SEPT22-Fire personnel took advantage of favorable weather conditions on 9/9 and 9/10 to proactively burn approximately 20 acres to increase the probability of keeping the fire in the Middle Fork of Warm Springs drainage.  This last week the entire fire area had been under very high temperatures, with very low relative humidity combined with days of strong winds.  While the fire did not grow much during that very warm and dry weather, the growth that did occur happened in a key location in the bottom of the Middle Fork drainage.  The fire moved into a position where uphill fire spread combined with upslope winds, could potentially send embers across the Gravelly Range Road (the eastern containment feature) and start spot-fires.  The weather conditions during the burning on 9/9 and 9/10 were much cooler with higher relative humidity, and had winds that pushed embers and smoke back into the already burned area and away from any containment features or values at risk. The fire...

Murray Fire (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
Fire Summary:  Firefighters continue to increase containment of the Murray Fire, reaching 93% yesterday. With minimal fire activity, cooler temperatures, higher relative humidity and precipitation in the forecast, all conducive to fire containment, crews are aiming for 100% containment by Thursday, September 15. Fire crews continue demobilization of personnel and packaging up fire equipment no longer needed on the fire. They will continue this process until the fire is fully contained and the area is safe enough to be managed by the local fire unit.  Fire Situation: The fire will transition back to the local unit this week as containment approaches 100%. There are no evacuations in effect, and roads in the fire area are still open only to local traffic for firefighter and public safety until further notice. This will be the summary update regarding Murray Fire information; for further inquiries, please contact DNRC Fire Management Officer, AJ Angelo at Amadeo.Angelo@MT.gov.“We...

SR Lightning Complex BAER (Burned Area Emergency Response)

1 year 6 months ago
THREE PHASES OF WILDFIRE RECOVERY   There are three phases of recovery following wildfires on federal lands: -       Fire Suppression Repair -       Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) -       Long-Term Recovery and Restoration Fire Suppression Repair is a series of immediate post-fire actions taken to repair damages and minimize potential soil erosion and impacts resulting from fire suppression activities and usually begins before the fire is contained, and before the demobilization of an Incident Management Team. This work repairs the hand and dozer fire lines, roads, trails, staging areas, safety zones, and drop points used during fire suppression efforts. Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) is a rapid assessment of burned watersheds by a BAER team to identify imminent post-wildfire threats to human life and safety, property, and critical natural or cultural resources on National Forest System lands and...

 Davenport, WA – This is the final update for the Seven Bays Fire.  The Seven Bays Fire is located approximately 15 miles northwest of Davenport, WA.

Jones Creek (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
The Jones Creek Fire began on 9/4/22. The cause is under investigation. It began on the Idaho side of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, 7 miles north of Pittsburg Landing on the Snake River. Fire behavior is moderate, smoldering and creeping. It is burning primarily in short grass, with timber stringers and some brush. A wet summer early in the season resulted in an abundance of grass, and recent hot, dry unstable conditions lead to rapid rates of spread during initial attack. Successful suppression actions by aerial resources and ground crews have slowed the fires' progression and limited impacts. The fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy. As of 8pm Sunday, September 11, command of the Jones Creek Fire returns to the Wallowa-Whitman National

Thor Fire (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
The Thor Fire is burning approximately 5 miles east of Sullivan Lake in heavy timber and steep terrain. The fire was caused by lightning and discovered on August 13, 2022. A full-suppression strategy is being used with firefighter and public safety the highest priority. The steep and rugged terrain in the immediate fire area poses a risk to fire crews on the ground. Heavy equipment and crews are actively working on improving indirect line such as existing roads and natural barriers. These roads and natural barriers provide a safer location with a high probability of success in stopping fire spread. The fire is burning in an area where low to moderate fire activity does not pose a threat to any “values at risk”, including wildlife habitats, watershed areas, natural resources, recreation infrastructure, or private land. Fire is a natural part of the life cycle of the forest and the fire behavior exhibited at this time will provide some benefit to the forest landscape as it...

Lake 3 (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
On September 7, 2022, at 1:30 p.m. a fire was reported to the Agency. The fire is located at T63N, R9W, Section 35–southeast of Lake Three and north of Horseshoe Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. In response, two Beaver float plans began aerial suppression. The fire is estimated at 10 acres. Suppression strategies continue to use aerial water delivery with Beaver aircraft. An upcoming cold front is bringing cooler temperatures, some precipitation and less winds to reassess if conditions are safer to allow firefighters to begin ground suppression. Public safety crews are in the area. Firefighter and public safety are the number on priorities.

East Fire (Wildfire)

1 year 6 months ago
The East Fire is currently 150 acres with 97% containment. Fire crews continue to improve containment lines and patrol for any remaining hot spots. Currently, due to the East Fire and Gulch Fire, there is no access to San Gabriel Canyon. See below for road closures. The fire danger level throughout the forest remains at “Very High,” which allows for campfires and BBQs only in designated recreation sites (campgrounds and picnic areas). With temperatures soaring through the holiday weekend, visitors can help prevent wildfires by: Please ensure that your campfires and BBQs are completely extinguished before leaving the area. Do not stop on the side of the road on or near dry grass or brush. If towing something, make sure your chains are not dragging on the pavement, as they can cause sparks that light dry grasses or brush nearby on fire. Fireworks are NEVER allowed in the Angeles National Forest or any other national forest. Closures remain in place at least through the...
