Shoe Fly Fire Evening Update 09 09 2024

Related Incident: Shoe Fly Fire
Publication Type: News

Mop up continues across the Shoe Fly Fire

MITCHELL, Ore. – Firefighters on the Shoe Fly Fire are continuing to push forward on progress across the incident, mopping up around the entire perimeter of the fire and focusing in on one final challenging location. The 24/7 efforts put in by resources, including firefighters, landowners and agencies over the past couple of shifts have paid off and lines have been able to withstand today’s warm and windy conditions.

This afternoon, clearer air allowed for aircraft to fly on the fire, and helicopters assisted resources on the ground with mop-up operations, dropping water on smoldering hot spots. This joint effort helps to speed up the mop-up process and will ultimately add to overall containment on the incident. 

The northeast corner remains the last area that is challenging firefighters. Spot fires in timber from a few days ago created pockets of unburned fuel between them. While all of the spot fires are lined, these unburned areas have the potential to carry fire in hot, windy conditions. A number of tactics are under consideration, including strategic firing operations to fill in those gaps or creating additional lines. Resources will determine which path will be most effective out in the field, with temperature, fuels, humidity and topography all taken into consideration tonight. 

Evacuation notices for residents around the fire remain unchanged and continue to be evaluated by the Wheeler County Sheriff, Wheeler County Fire Defense Board Chief, and Team 1 Operations personnel. More information on current evacuations is available at https://tinyurl.com/RAPTOR-Evacuation-Info

Structural task forces from Oregon State Fire Marshall are available to return should additional structure protection be needed.

Pedro Mine Fire Update 09 09 2024

Related Incident: Pedro Mine
Publication Type: News

Incident Commander: Chris Hericks
Location: Southwest of Branham Lakes Campground 
Start Date: 09/04/2024
Cause: Lightning
Size: estimated at 45 acres
Resources on Site: 3 Initial Attack Modules 
Total Personnel: 14

The Pedro Mine Fire, located nine miles east of Sheridan in the Mill Creek area, is burning in steep, rocky terrain with little to no access for firefighters. The area contains a large concentration of standing dead trees (“snags”) that pose challenges to ensuring firefighter safety and in responding to potential medical emergencies, jeopardizing the well-being of firefighters and other responders. 


Fire managers from the Forest, working in collaboration with local Madison County officials have identified and prioritized critical values at risk in the fire area. Firefighting efforts will focus available resources on the protection of structures on private inholdings, active mining claims, and Branham Lakes Campground. All these values are approximately .1-.6 miles from the fire.

There are several factors involved in making wildfire management decisions. These factors include, firefighter safety, resource availability and threats to public safety and property. As well as, terrain, fire behavior, fire season outlook and modeling, and past prescribed fire units and vegetation management projects in the area. Fire managers are strategic in their approach and continually reassess conditions and alter management strategies to protect critical values.

CURRENT STATUS/PLANNED ACTIONS: 
The fire was relatively calm most of today. A new spot fire has established further to the north, and slightly closer to Lower Branham Lake. Fire managers were focused on point protection for the cabin closest to the fire and operated the sprinkler system today. A helicopter was used for a short time in the morning, and again in the afternoon, to drop water on the fire to slow fire movement into an un-favorable area that would pose a threat to fire personnel and certain values. Barricades were placed at the intersection of Mill Creek Road (FS RD 111) and the Middle Fork Mill Creek Road (FS RD 7313) to limit public access into the fire area and Branham Lakes Campground. As the fire moves north fire personnel continue to assess the other identified values at risk in and around Branham Lakes Campground for protection needs, order the appropriate resources and equipment, and identify timely implementation of the protection measures. One permitted-claim owner arrived to secure belongings from the claim. An overnight mapping mission using infrared has been ordered for tonight.

Tomorrow’s actions will continue with structure protection of the cabin closest to the fire by patrolling for spot fires and operating the sprinkler system. Fire personnel will also assess, and potentially initiate, pro-active burning around Branham Lakes Campground. These actions will reduce the amount of fuel available to burn. Reducing these fuels will help protect the infrastructure and vegetation in the campground, as well as lessen the intensity of a future wildfire and the threat that would pose to recreationists and first responders. The main fire will continue to be monitored for fire spread and threat to identified values.

These actions are designed to allow fire personnel to protect the identified values at risk while operating in areas that have much better access and egress to safety.

Agency representatives continue to compile contact information for affected landowners immediately adjacent to the fire area.


WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR:
The fire received a very small amount of rain last night. That moisture, combined with the very heavy smoke, helped limit fire activity today. Tomorrow is forecasted for another dry, warm, and windy day. The low-pressure system arriving Wednesday has approximately 0.5” of rain forecasted through Friday, while conditions return to a cooler, more fall-like weather pattern.

CLOSURES AND RESTRICTIONS:
The Forest is in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. Campfires are allowed only in a permanent metal fire grate/ring provided by the Forest Service in a designated, developed recreation site. Smoking is restricted to vehicles, in buildings, or in an area clear of flammable materials. Devices with an on/off switch that use LPG fuels are allowed in an area clear of flammable materials within 3 feet of the device.

 


Big Hollow Fire Final Update 09 09 2024

Related Incident:

Location: 13 miles west of Grant, MT      Start Date: August 23, 2024

Cause: Undetermined, suspected lightning      Size: 3450 acres     Containment: 100%

This is the final update for the Big Hollow Fire.

CURRENT STATUS:

Fire managers called the Big Hollow fire contained on September 3rd, 2024. The fire has transitioned down to a Type 5 incident command structure and is currently not being actively staffed due to very minimal fire activity and secure containment lines. Firefighters from the Montana DNRC- Dillon Unit will continue to patrol the fire area to monitor for increased fire behavior. The interior pockets of timber far from control lines or features, are expected to continue to smolder where there is residual heat within ground fuels.

CLOSURES

There are no closures in place and firefighters are not currently staffing the area.  If recreating in the area we ask the public to exercise caution due to fire weakened trees and pockets of residual heat.

The Temporary Flight Restriction over the area has also been lifted.

Copperfield Fire Daily Update 992024 09 09 2024

Related Incident: Copperfield Fire
Publication Type: News

Chiloquin, Ore. – Crews continued their progress in mop up and building containment. Work around structures continues, bringing the depth to 200 feet around homes and structures. With the difficult terrain on Corbell Butte making for slower work, there is still some heat near the fire lines. The rest of the cool fire line is at 75 to 100 feet deep. With this continued success, containment increased to 77%.


Today’s weather will continue the cooling temperatures, higher relative humidity and lighter winds. These conditions help crews to continue their mop up efforts and push deeper into the black areas around the fire perimeter. With the shifting winds, smoke has moved into the fire area.


Level 1, 2 and 3 evacuations remain around the Copperfield Fire. Evacuation levels are determined by the Klamath County Sheriff's Office in conjunction with fire officials and agency administrators.
