Incident Publication

Fire activity is expected to remain minimal today throughout all fires as high humidity and cooler temperatures remain. A warm, drying trend is expected this weekend and into next week. Firefighters continue to work diligently as they strengthen control lines to combat drier weather. Throughout all fires, larger fuels and needle cast from fire weakened trees will continue to be consumed, producing smoldering, and creeping within fire perimeters. Needle cast is when fire weakened trees drop their needles, creating a duff layer on the ground. If the needles are not consumed by fire, they play an important role in reducing soil erosion. 

The Middle Fork Complex is 61,482 acres with 35% completion. Today firefighters continue masticating and chipping on the Bulldog and Nellie Fires along the Forest Service Roads 678, 671, and northern section of the 555 road to finish clearing debris within the fuel breaks started by previous teams. These shaded fuel breaks are intended to stop the fire from spreading regardless of the direction it came from. On the Nellie Fire, crews continue strengthening fire line on the Southwest side of Deadwood Reservoir and are beginning repair work around the historic structures.

The Snag Fire is 33,300 acres with 33% completion. Firefighters are using Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to determine the amount of heat remaining in the northern portion of the Snag Fire along Warm Lake Highway. This information will help determine future tactics to prevent further spread. A UAS flight will also take place on the eastern side of the fire out of Stolle Meadows to verify any remaining heat, as that area has shown no movement in several weeks. Fire managers do not expect much movement on the eastern sides of the Snag and Goat Fires due to the rocky terrain creating a natural barrier.

The Goat Fire is 26,456 acres with 0% contained. Firefighters are tying in direct line from old forest roads on the western and southern portion of the Goat Fire to protect values at risk. Fire managers are using multiple techniques to protect the Boiling Springs and Silver Creek area by continuing clearing low to ground fuels around the values at risk as well as placing direct line on the southern edge of the goat fire. 

A new closure order for the Middle Fork Complex Fire is in place opening several areas within the Boise National Forest. An interactive forest closure map is available on the Boise National Forest Alerts & Closures website, https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/boise/alerts-notices.

Hunters are not allowed access to closed areas. The Boise National Forest is re-evaluating closure orders across the forest due to firefighting progress and recent precipitation. The public can expect to see further changes later this week. 

In the meantime, we ask the public to adhere to the closures as they currently exist; in particular, Trail Creek Hot Springs is currently within the closure area for the West Mountain Complex and is closed.

Evening Update Summary for September 18, 2024. The Airport Fire remains at 23,519 acres with 39% containment.

Reports from the fireline continue to be positive, with few smokes seen and firefighters actively engaged on almost all areas of the perimeter. The incident objectives remain the same as yesterday, our crews will continue to extend & tie in the various firebreaks, eventually surrounding the fire completely. Some fire crews continue to be airlifted by helicopter into the most difficult terrain, in order to achieve these goals. Some crews will be initiating fireline rehabilitation efforts, which help to reduce the impact of the firefighting operations on the land.

A low pressure system is predicted to pass to the north of the incident, bringing continued mild temperatures and possibly some drizzle. This will continue to benefit our personnel on the incident.

A reminder to the public that a temporary flight restriction (TFR) is still in effect through September 25th over the incident and the immediate area. This TFR could be extended. Drones or other non-incident related aircraft are not permitted to operate in the area. Flying a drone near a wildfire is dangerous and can cost lives. When people fly drones near wildfires, fire response agencies have to ground their aircraft to avoid the potential for a midair collision. Delaying airborne response poses a threat to firefighters on the ground, residents and property in nearby communities. Updates on the locations and status of TFRs can be accessed at https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html.

CURRENT SITUATION: Today, firefighters continued strengthening containment lines and validating their progress, while also attacking the most active northwest and southeast flanks with ground and air resources.

On the northwest flank, firefighters brought the fire’s edge down to tie into road systems today, helping secure containment where rollout of burning material posed a threat to the line. Favorable weather conditions are still allowing firefighters to go direct along the fires edge to prevent further spread toward the Mile High and Paradise Springs communities.

Falling modules and other firefighting personnel are working on the northeast side of the fire, and throughout the Big Pines and Wrightwood communities falling hazardous trees, mopping up, and patrolling both areas.

On the northeast flank, crews are holding containment lines south of Wright Mountain, preventing the fire from progressing into the drainages north of Lytle Creek.

Thanks to the great work of firefighters, public safety personnel and utility companies, an evacuation order was downgraded to a Warning from Icehouse Canyon up to Manker Flats and the Mt. Baldy Ski Resort. Firefighters will still maintain a presence in this area to patrol, monitor, and mop-up.

On the south and west flanks, crews continue holding containment lines and validating that hotspots have been extinguished. Hotshot crews inserted by helicopter earlier this week continue constructing indirect line in the rugged terrain of the Sheep Mountain Wilderness to create secondary containment lines.

Damage inspection teams continue to update interactive maps for residents affected by the Bridge Fire.

Estimated size: 369 acres

Containment: 42%

Start Date/Time: 9/8/2024 at 3:54 PM

Area of Origin: Adjacent to Highway 97, 14 miles east of Cle Elum, WA

Cause: Human                                                      

Structures Damaged: 0

Update: Yesterday, crews completed firing operations along the fire's northern flank. Crews are continuing to let the fire burn on the interior to allow unburned fuels to be consumed.

There was a single spot fire yesterday that was less than a half-acre. Spot fires are common when doing firing operations. During this time, crews were standing by ready to respond and contain any additional fires quickly. Upon detection of the spot fire, firefighters were able to line and take action and it is 100% controlled.

In other divisions of the fire, crews continue to patrol, improve containment lines, mop-up around the burnt areas, and will continue these actions into the coming days.

Smoke will remain visible to citizens and travelers in local communities and along Highway 97 as the burn area finishes consuming the fuels. The fire continues to be fully staffed to monitor and maintain control lines on the northern flank.

Tamaño de Whisky Creek: 3,145 acres | Fecha de inicio: 20 de julio |Causa: De orígen humano |Contención 25% 

Total de recursos: 98 | Equipos de obreros: 3 | Camiones de bomberos: 3 | Camiones de agua: 2 |Maquinarias pesadas: 1  

El incendio Whisky Creek se encuentra en un terreno escarpado y escabroso dentro del área de naturaleza Mark O. Hatfield en el Bosque Nacional Mt. Hood. Permanece dentro de las líneas de control a lo largo de los extremos sur y este. La huellas del incendio Eagle Creek continúan como barrera a lo largo de los extremos oeste y norte del incendio. 

El incendio ha crecido por 46 acres en los últimos dos días. Este crecimiento se ha visto a lo largo del extremo sur del incendio y no representa una amenaza para las líneas de control. Sigue ardiendo entre troncos pesados y continuará produciendo humo ligero. No se espera que empeore la intensidad del fuego aunque el clima se ponga más soleado y cálido. 

Ayer, los bomberos comenzaron a desmantelar y remover el sistema de mangueras que alimenta la línea manual principal. El trabajo se enfocó en remover los tanques de agua, bombas y mangueras de los alrededores de Rainy Lake. Hoy, las cuadrillas comenzarán a quitar la manguera de sendero Gorton Creek Trail # 408 cerca de Green Point Mountain. Si el clima lo permite, se utilizará un helicóptero para retirar la manguera del área, ya que solo se puede entrar a pie. 

El Bosque Nacional Mt. Hood, el Área Escénica Nacional Columbia River Gorge y el Bosque Nacional Gifford Pinchot han levantado sus restricciones contra incendios. Aunque se han removido las restricciones contra incendios en estos tres bosques, recuerde que los bomberos todavía están luchando contra los incendios forestales en Oregón y Washington. Si hace una fogata, asegúrese de que esté fría al tocar antes de irse. Información de seguridad responsable para fogatas está disponible en: www.smokeybear.com. 

Clima: Hoy, una alta presión débil se desplazará al área que resultará en cielos soleados y temperaturas más cálidas. La recuperación de humedad será alta por la noche con una disminución mínima durante el día. Este patrón de clima debe continuar hasta el viernes. 

Para saber el pronóstico de humo y seguridad, consulte: oregonsmoke.org. 

Cierres: Los cierres de áreas permanecerán en el Bosque Nacional Mt. Hood, el Área Escénica Nacional Columbia River Gorge y el Condado de Hood River. Se establecen cierres para la seguridad del público y de los bomberos; La intrusión en un área de cierre puede interrumpir las actividades de extinción y reparación de incendios, poner en peligro vidas y propiedades, y puede resultar en multas. La información de cierre se encuentra en: https://linktr.ee/whisky_creek.2024. 

Seguridad: El público juega un papel importante en la prevención del próximo incendio forestal; tenga cuidado con cualquier posible fuente de incendio.

Whisky Creek Size: 3,145 acres | Start Date: July 20 | Cause: Human | Containment: 25% 

Total Resources: 98 | Hand Crews: 3 | Engines: 3 | Water Tenders: 2 |Heavy Equipment: 1  

The Whisky Creek Fire is in steep and rugged terrain within the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness in the Mt. Hood National Forest. The fire remains within the control lines along the southern and eastern edge. The Eagle Creek Fire scar continues to be a barrier along the western and northern edges of the fire.  

The fire grew 46 acres in the last two days. All fire growth has been along the southern edge of the fire and poses no threat to control lines. The fire is still smoldering in heavy logs and will continue to produce light smoke. Fire behavior is not expected to increase even with sunnier, warmer weather moving into the area.  

Yesterday, firefighters started deconstructing and removing the hose lay system feeding the primary handline. Efforts focused on removing water tanks, pumps, and hoses from around Rainy Lake. Today, crews will start removing hose from Gorton Creek Trail #408 near Green Point Mountain. If weather allows, a helicopter will be used to fly the hose from the area since access is hike-in only.  

The Mt. Hood National Forest, the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest have all lifted their fire restrictions. While fire restrictions have been lifted in these three forests, please remember firefighters are still fighting wildfires across Oregon and Washington. If you do have a campfire, make sure it is out cold to the touch before leaving. Responsible campfire safety information is available at: www.smokeybear.com.  

Weather: A weak high pressure moves into the area today bringing sunny skies and warmer temperatures. Humidity recoveries will be high overnight with minimal decline during the day. This weather pattern should continue through Friday. 

For smoke forecasts and safety, visit: oregonsmoke.org. 

Closures: Area closures remain in the Mt. Hood National Forest, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, and Hood River County. Closures are put into place for the safety of the public and fire crews; intrusion into a closure area can disrupt fire suppression and repair activities, endanger lives and property, and can result in fines. Closure information is at: https://linktr.ee/whisky_creek.2024.  

Safety: The public plays an important role in preventing the next wildfire; please use caution with all potential ignition sources. For prevention tips see: https://keeporegongreen.org. The Temporary Flight Restriction remains in effect for the Whisky Fire: https://tinyurl.com/2s49yrj4.
