Incident Publication

The 60-mile per hour wind gusts have pushed the Fish Creek Fire within two and a half miles of US Highway 26/287. A Red Flag Warning is a term used by fire weather forecasters to alert fire personnel and the public of potential extreme and critical fire weather. It means warm temperatures, very low humidities, and stronger winds are expected to combine to produce an increased risk of fire danger. Only the National Weather Service can issue Red Flag Warnings.  The smoke plume has increased in size and conditions are hazardous for fire personnel.

Current Situation:  

• The Lava Fire is 72% contained at 97,747 acres, with 528 personnel assigned.  
• Crews secured hot spots along the northeastern edge, expecting 3 – 4 days of effort to establish containment west of God’s Acres. A type 1 helicopter supported Hotshot operations with water drops, cooling hot spots along the northeast edge of the fire, dipping 28,000 gallons from Lake Cascade. 
• The Kern Valley Hotshots scouted the fire edge south of Gabes Peak to the Second Fork of Squaw Creek yesterday. They are cutting brush and extinguishing hot spots along the fire’s edge to secure the line today. 
• Along the northern perimeter, firefighters made good work securing Anderson Creek. It will take several more shifts to establish containment on that side of the fire. The western perimeter is cold and suppression repair resources are moving north. 
• An Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) was used along the fire’s southeastern edge to identify heat sources using InfraRed surveillance to assist ground-based efforts. UAS will continued to be used around the fire. 

Weather: Today a dry cold front is expected to pass through the fire area in the late afternoon. Southwest winds will bring gusty winds,shifting to the west and then to the northwest after the frontal passage. No overnight inversion is expected, impeding humidity recovery. Expect elevated burning conditions into Monday.  

Evacuations: A Level 1 “READY” notice remains for residents south of South Grays Creek, along Little Weiser River Road in Indian Valley, North of South Grays Creek Road to Highway 95, and the Mesa Area. Valley County Sheriff’s Office has removed Zones 2 & 3 from LEVEL 1 “READY” status. Zones 4 – 6 remain in a LEVEL 1 “READY” Evacuation notice.  

Closures: Closures: The Boise and Payette National Forests implemented a joint Lava Fire Area, Road, and Trail Closure for public and firefighter safety. For more closure information see the Payette National Forest website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/payette/alerts-notices or the Boise National Forest website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/boise/alerts-notices. 

Gem County Road and Bridge issued the following road closures: Third Fork Road at Nesbitt Lane, Second Fork Road at Nesbitt Lane, and Nesbitt Lane. The Sweet-Ola Highway is closed at the High Valley intersection in Ola.   

Temporary Flight Restrictions: A temporary flight restriction (TFR) has been updated. View a map of the TFR and details at https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_8199.html. Fire aviation response is halted or delayed if an unauthorized aircraft enters the TFR. Temporary flight restrictions also apply to unmanned aircraft systems or drones. If you fly, we can’t!

Summary 

The reallocation and repositioning of resources to maximize impact and efficiency on these fires is netting positive results. Though there have been slight increases in smoldering acreage, the fires remain well within established containment perimeters. Firefighters continue their focus on monitoring and suppression efforts. The forecast for the beginning of the week calls for a slight rebound of humidity levels before they trend down late Sunday into Monday. Crews continue repairing McKinley Creek dozer lines and clearing ditches in the Coffee Pot area. Repair work along the 2129 Road is ongoing. The Chalk, Coffee Pot, McKinley Creek and Tire Mountain fires are 100% contained. Any hot spots are well inside the perimeter, and the seeding of the Red Fire shaded fuel breaks is complete.  

Red Fire (1,961 acres, 11% containment) 

The Red Fire, which continues to creep slowly toward Crescent Lake, will remain on the landscape and won’t be completely extinguished until a season-ending event. The assessment of 11% containment of the Red Fire is based on cold sections of the fireline running north on the Pacific Crest Trail. As the fire moves to the south toward Crescent Lake and meets the shaded fuel break built along Forest Service Road 60, this percentage will increase. Percentage of fire contained is based on how much of the current fire perimeter has a directly positioned control-line that is stopping fire spread. This number -- a percentage of the total fire perimeter -- may fluctuate as the fire grows and an additional surrounding control line is secured. 

The strategic firing operations tentatively planned for yesterday along the shaded fuel break were paused as wind shift resulted in unfavorable conditions. The intent is to clean up potential fuels ahead of the active fire where the fire’s edge will meet the fuel break and intersect FSR 60. As they have done for weeks, fire managers continue to update and review that plan regularly to ensure firefighter safety while protecting the community and critical resources.

An emergency fire closure remains in place for the Red Fire. Fire managers and Deschutes National Forest leadership are continually reevaluating the closure based on factors such as current and expected fire behavior and weather conditions. The Deschutes National Forest will reduce the closure as soon as it is safe to do so.

NOTE: This will be the last daily written update for the Red Fire. The Eastern Area Team will transition the Red Fire back to the Deschutes National Forest at 6pm today, September 29. There will also no longer be a dedicated incident email or Public Information phone line for the Red Fire. Significant fire updates will continue to be posted on the Red Fire Facebook page and Inciweb. Written updates will be produced as needed.

208 Fire (9,045 acres, 4% containment) 

Chipping operations and mop-up continues on indirect lines surrounding the fire as crews near completion of this work. Much of that is happening on the west side near the Sierra Pacific Industries timberland and along the 2149 Road. Firefighters also continue frequent monitoring of the northwest corner of the fire in the Swift Creek area, and erosion prevention water bars are being constructed along the 6010 Road.  

Moss Mountain Fire (2,186 acres, 10% containment) 

Fuel reduction operations near the Wolf Mountain Communications site are nearing completion. Heavy equipment continues working in that critical area. The 23 Road remains closed to accommodate the removal of slash and brush. Air operations will be conducted as necessary. The weather forecast means favorable flight conditions for the next several days.

Weather and Fire Behavior 

Mild, fall-like conditions will continue for the next several days. Temperatures are predicted to reach the upper-60s to low-70s. The air will give way to increasingly dry air by Sunday evening, and the relative humidity will likely drop to 20% or less in the early part of next week. This lower relative humidity could result in a change in fire behavior.

Jackson Wyo., September 29, 2024 – The Fish Creek Fire and the Pack Trail Fire were extremely visible on Saturday, September 28, putting large smoke columns into the air. The Fish Creek Fire acreage is 25,069 acres and the Pack Trail fire, just 3 miles south of the southern edge of the Fish Creek Fire, grew to over 9,000 acres. Both fires are burning in heavy timber. The lightning-caused Fish Creek Fire was discovered on August 16, 2024, while the lightning caused Pack Trail Fire was discovered on September 15, 2024. There is an emergency closure in effect around both fires. 

An Incident Management Team has been suppressing these fires. While both fires have been active and creating smoke columns, the Pack Trail Fire growth was significant yesterday. “The fire is in remote terrain with very difficult access,” said Jackson District Ranger Todd Stiles. “Tree density and heavy dead and snag tree components make it very dangerous to put firefighters on the ground,” he said. Firefighter safety has remained the number one priority throughout this incident. “After initial attempts to access the Pack Trail Fire by our local helitack firefighters, it was determined that attempts to put a larger force on the ground would likely be unsuccessful, and could result in high likelihood of injury,” he said. Early attempts to tamp the Pack Trail Fire down with air resources and water drops had no effect. The weather that day was extremely windy, contributing to the overall ineffectiveness of aerial attack. 

A confinement and point protection strategy was orchestrated by the Incident Management Team and firefighters to utilize the surrounding terrain and changes in fuel type to act as potential containment features. “Weather and forecasted precipitation have not materialized over the fire,” Stiles continued. "Substantial air resources have been applied by the Incident Management Team, and with yesterday’s dry and warm conditions, air attack efforts had little effect. “The fire started to spotting ahead of itself, passing over and even burning through the terrain and more favorable grass and sage fuel type confinement features,” Stiles said. “The fire displayed behavior much more indicative of mid to late August prime summer fire season,” he noted.

Additional resources are on order and this fire is now the priority fire in the region.

Due to increased wildfire threats in the area, Fremont County Wyoming, in coordination with the Incident Management Team has issued "SET" (Level 2) and "READY" (Level 1) evacuation alerts. This is part of the Ready, Set, Go alert system that helps residents to know how to prepare and when to act in the face of an impending wildfire. 

READY status is the earliest in the warning levels, and also known as Level 1. This is when residents should sign up for local emergency alerts, and put together your personal or family emergency plan and emergency supply kit for each person in your household.  Residents should also gather financial and critical personal, household, and medical information. Give your household the best chance of surviving a wildfire by being ready to go and evacuating early. Being ready to go also means knowing when to evacuate and what to do if you become trapped.

If you are placed into the SET status, or Level 2, there are things you should do both inside and outside your home, as well as preparations for your animals. 

Inside the house, residents should pack a ‘Go Bag’ or have the Emergency Kit, ready to grab by the door. All residents should know your community’s emergency plan, evacuation routes, and destinations as signs may be obscured by smoke or darkness or unpassable due to fallen trees and debris. 

Close all windows and doors but leave them unlocked. Take down flammable window treatments like shades and curtains, and close metal shutters. Clear away light curtains. Move anything that burns easily to the middle of rooms, away from windows and doors. Homeowners should turn off the gas at the meter and all pilot lights. You should leave lights on for firefighters to see your house in smoke.

Outside the house, homeowners should bring in flammable items from outside, like patio furniture, toys, doormats, and trash bins. 

Shut off propane tanks, move grills and other propane BBQ appliances away from the house and attach garden hoses to the spigots for firefighters to use.  Don’t leave sprinklers or water running as it can lower critical water pressure. Keep exterior lights on to make your home visible in smoky or dark conditions. Put your emergency kit in your car and park your car in the driveway, facing outwards, loaded and ready, with all doors and windows shut. Have a ladder handy for firefighter roof access, and seal attic and ground vents with plywood or commercial seals. Keep an eye on the fire situation and don’t wait for an evacuation order if you feel at risk. Check with neighbors to ensure they’re also prepared.

Also, you need to make preparations for the animals. Keep pets close and ready to go, and plan for farm animal evacuation early, arranging transport and safe locations.

If the GO status, or Level 3 alert is activated, act early!.

By leaving early you give your family the best chance of surviving the incident at hand. This also allows emergency personnel to respond to the incident more effectively and bring it to a resolution more quickly.

Leave early to avoid being caught in the approaching incident or road congestion. Don't wait to be told by officials to leave. IF YOU FEEL YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! If you are advised to leave, don't hesitate. Head to your predetermined location or as directed by officials. Have several routes planned in case one route is blocked. Choose an escape route away from the incident.  Stay informed on current road status, closures and hazards.  Take your emergency supply kit containing your family's & pet's medications & necessary items.

Homestead/Diamond Complexes and Lane 1 Fires

Sept. 29, 2024

Fire Information: 541-208-7100, 8 AM - 8 PM

InciWeb-Homestead: https://t.ly/syeHa and InciWeb-Diamond: https://bit.ly/4gCfLsp

Seven fires within the Homestead Complex, Lane 1, and Diamond Complex remain under active management by Northwest Team 12. Firefighting resources from the Homestead Complex remain available for initial attack response to new fire starts in the area as needed.

Homestead Complex: 10,024 acres, 35% contained │ Lane 1: 25,951 acres, 99% contained │ Diamond Complex: 11,141 acres, 90% contained │ Total personnel: 503

Warm and dry conditions contributed to backing fire and visible smoke yesterday. Infrared heat signatures still show scattered heat with smoldering and creeping in available fuels, but this predominantly interior activity poses no threat to the containment of the fires. 

Fire managers observed minimal surface spread on the northwest portion of the Horse Heaven Fire, and fire crews are continuing to patrol and mop up as needed. Chipping and mastication were completed along Forest Service Roads (FSR) 3180 and the 100 spur. Tomorrow chipping will begin along FSR 3829 and engine crews will continue to patrol and backhaul hose from areas where it’s no longer needed.

The Fuller Lake Fire continues to produce visible smoke as it backs and creeps into the Boulder Creek Wilderness. Fire managers estimate a few more days to complete chipping of slash along FSR 3810 as well as multiple days of hazardous tree removal work for sawyers. On the Bullpup Fire, numerous roads are still being graded and crews continue to chip piles of woody debris along roads.

The No Man Fire remains in patrol and monitor status presenting no signs of smoke or fire activity. On the Lane 1 Fire, excavators are completing fire suppression repair work in the Fairview area. 

Two fires remain uncontained on the Diamond Complex. Chipping continues on the Potter Fire along FSR 100, with chips being hauled away and utilized for ground cover in the Diamond Lake area. Tomorrow, radio technicians will fly in via helicopter to remove radio transmission equipment that is no longer needed from a remote site on Potter Peak. The Pine Bench Fire is wrapping up and showed no visible smoke.  

Closures: The Umpqua National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have revised closure orders. Two closure orders impact the Umpqua National Forest https://t.ly/Mvn6G. A BLM Roseburg District closure order remain also remains in place https://t.ly/uWX6l. A Temporary Flight Restriction remains in effect https://bit.ly/3XJL0cD. 

Weather: Winds will shift to westerly, which will result in a little more cloud cover, cooler temperatures, and gusty northwest winds. Very warm and dry conditions will return to the region Monday and Tuesday, with Tuesday being the warmest day. Temperatures in the valleys are forecasted to be 65-70 today.

The Line Fire burned actively in the Santa Ana river drainage and produced most of the smoke yesterday.  Firefighters are directing the fire down to the Santa Ana river.  Burning material is rolling downhill to the drainage and burning back upslope to the black area.  Crews and aircraft are focused on this area.

The second area with active fire is the Bear and Siberia creek drainages.  Crews have been able to put in line in a critical portion of this area.  This area has been a challenge due to the extremely steep terrain.  A heli-spot is being built which will allow firefighters to be inserted to build line and access the fire when possible.

The above-average temperatures in the fire area will drop 1 to 3 degrees compared to yesterday but still remain above average.  Humidity continues to decrease.  The weather in the fire area will continue to become warmer and drier, however no significant wind events are expected into the middle of next week.
