Current Status
Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 5, led by Incident Commander Joe Sampson, assumed command of the Johnson Fire at 6 a.m. this morning.
Crews will continue patrolling the fire’s western edge, searching for any areas of remaining heat along the fire’s perimeter. To the south, crews will search for areas of remaining heat along the containment line firefighters used for strategic burning operations over the last few days. Along the fire’s northern edge, firefighters will improve existing containment lines, monitor the fire’s movement and cool areas of residual heat.
Weather and Fire Behavior
Thunderstorms passed through the fire area last night, bringing wind gusts up to about 30 mph. However, the fire area did not receive measurable precipitation. Today, hot and dry conditions are expected with southwest wind gusts up to 20 mph along ridgetops. Temperatures in the fire area will likely remain in the mid 70s, with relative humidities in the mid 20s. The majority of the fire’s movement will be in the upper slopes where dry, subalpine fir has the potential to torch and cause short-range spotting up to ½ mile.
In the coming days, precipitation is expected with up to 1 inch of rain possible. This wetting rain will likely hinder the fire’s ability to move substantially for a week or so or until fuels along the fire’s perimeter dry out.

Northern Rockies Team 2, Incident Commander Scott Schuster
Location: 7 miles SW of Togwotee Pass
Start Date: Friday, August 16, 2024
Cause: Lightning
Size: 23,911 acres
Percent complete: 69%
Resources: 460 Total Personnel: 7 Hand Crews; 20 Engines; 20 Heavy Equipment; 4 Helicopters
KEY MESSAGES:
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a RED FLAG WARNING for the fire area from noon until 8:00 p.m. today. A red flag warning indicates that conditions are conducive for wildland fire growth and rapid spread.
As of Sunday evening, U.S. Highway 26/287 is open for free-flowing traffic in both directions. Since this remains a high priority area, there will be a continued large presence of fire personnel and fire vehicles in that corridor and the maximum speed has been reduced to 45 mph. For everyone’s safety, we ask all motorists to please slow down, stay alert and proceed with caution through the fire area.
CURRENT STATUS:
The western edge of the fire is burning towards and into some meadows which is slowing the growth of the fire on that side. On other sections of the fire perimeter, the fire is burning into the footprint of prior fires where there is less fuel, which is also limiting the growth of the fire in those areas. The most active part of the fire is in the Cottonwood Creek area. The fire is burning in standing, beetle-killed conifers and downed, dry trees and logs. This active fire behavior is creating the large columns of smoke that can be viewed from miles away.
Overnight, resources monitored the fire activity and patrolled the Highway 26 corridor and the 537 road. Today’s resources will further monitor and secure the Highway 26 corridor, and structure-protection resources will continue to test sprinkler systems and hose around the Brooks Lake Lodge and Pinnacle residences. Air resources will monitor the fire activity particularly in the southern portion of the fire and provide bucket work and air support.
WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR:
The combination of warmer temperatures, lower humidities, and stronger winds have prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Red Flag Warning for today. Those same conditions are expected to increase the amount of visible smoke and fire behavior, especially single tree torching and spot fires. Wind gusts of 25 to 35 mph are expected throughout the afternoon and into the early evening hours.
AIR QUALITY AND SMOKE:
Increased fire activity often correlates to an increase in smoke and a decrease in air quality. This is of special concern for older adults, individuals with respiratory issues and young children. Residents should monitor the Air Quality Index (AQI) for their specific area and take mitigating actions to reduce or limit their exposure to smokey air when the AQI is elevated.
Air quality alerts, current and predicted smoke conditions and helpful FAQ’s can be found on the AirNow website at https://www.airnow.gov/.
CLOSURES AND EVACUATIONS:
The joint Closure Order issued by both the Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forests for the fire area, remains in effect. Please do not enter the closure area or use any Forest Roads that are closed. For specific details regarding this closure, please reference the Fish Creek Area, Roads, and Trails Closure Order (map) and the Forest website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/btnf/alerts-notices.
Under the jurisdiction of Fremont County, the areas of Brooks Lake, Pinnacle Drive and Breccia Drive remain under a Level 3 Evacuation notice (Indicated by red blocks on the PIO Incident Map). A Level 3 Evacuation means “Go” to evacuate. Residents must remain evacuated until advised otherwise by Fremont County. See the alert notice on the Fremont County Fire Protection District Facebook page.
The Teton County Division of Emergency Management utilizes a Ready, Set, Go system for evacuation messaging, visit their website for additional details at www.tetoncountywy.gov/1846/Ready-Set-GO. (Indicated by green blocks on the PIO Incident Map.) They advise all residents to be in a “Ready” status by preparing for evacuations and becoming fire adapted.
US HWY 26/287 continues to experience smoke and sometimes limited visibility. Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) is working closely with Fremont County Emergency Management and fire officials for the safety of motorists and firefighters. Drivers are encouraged to visit https://www.wyoroad.info/ prior to traveling on US HWY 26/287 for road status and information, or download the Wyoming 511 app at https://www.wyoroad.info/511/WY511Mobile.html to monitor for any changes due to fire activity.
West and Preacher Fires Update 09 09 2024
Related Incident: 2024 - West Fire - TNF2024 - Preacher Fire - TNF
Publication Type: News
Ignitions planned to begin today
Highlights/Operations: Ignitions began yesterday on both the West and Preacher Fires. On the West Fire, south-facing slopes and areas exposed to sun and wind were receptive to ignitions, which began in the West Webber Creek drainage. Mastication of fuels along the Control Road just north of Geronimo Estates continued. On Preacher, the Control Road near Tonto Village was still not dry enough to carry fire, so crews began lighting from the active fire’s edge along the Diamond Point Road and headed south towards Diamond Point. Engines worked across all the communities to finish installing hoses and testing them as part of the structure protection plan.
Today on the West Fire, aerial and hand ignitions will continue where they left off yesterday in East Webber Creek Drainage and begin on the top of the Rim off the 300 road. On Preacher, the area south of Tonto Village will be reassessed for ignitions. If it still isn’t dry enough, crews will move back over to the Diamond Point Road to pick up where they left off yesterday.
Across the rest of the area on both fires crews, engines and equipment are improving containment lines, testing structure protection equipment like hoses and sprinklers and removing any remaining fuels necessary. A night shift is patrolling in communities to ensure private property and structures are protected around the clock.
Weather: A few showers may develop on the Mogollon Rim Monday afternoon but are not expected to reach the Preacher fire. Otherwise, the week will be seasonably warm, dry and rain-free. Southwest winds will increase by mid-week with frequent afternoon gusts over 25 mph.
Safety: Two Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) are now in place over the area, which includes uncrewed aircraft systems or drones. Reminder that if you fly we can’t, unauthorized drone flights pose serious risks to firefighter and public safety and the effectiveness of wildfire suppression operations.
Closure: The Tonto National Forest has issued a closure for land surrounding the West Fire, this includes Pine Trailhead. https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-publication/aztnf-2024-west-fire-tnf/us-forest-service-closure-order-for-west-fire-09-04-2024
Evacuations: Some residents east of Payson near the Preacher Fire have been moved to the SET level. An interactive map is available to stay up to date with evacuation levels related to both the West and Preacher Fires.

Bear Fire Incident Update 09 09 2024
Related Incident: Bear Fire, Tahoe National Forest
Publication Type: News
Location: South of Sierra Brooks off Bear Valley Rd., Tahoe National Forest
Personnel: 516
Start Date: 9/2/2024 @ 2:00 PM
Cause: Undetermined
Size: 3,325 acres
Percent contained: 45%
Yesterday evening, the incident transitioned out of unified command. Crews continued to focus on gaining additional depth in their mop-up efforts. With wind gusts reaching up to 29 mph, crews worked through the night to maintain containment and successfully maintained the current footprint of the fire.
Today, crews will be working on gaining depth and mop-up efforts, around the southeast area of Smithneck Road and the 56 Road. Other resources have been redirected to suppression repair, which involves restoring areas impacted by wildfire suppression activities to a more natural or stable condition. Currently, the tasks include approximately 60 miles of dozer lines, 11 miles of road lines, and 12 miles of hand lines requiring suppression repair. Overall, suppression repair aims to minimize long-term environmental impacts and facilitate the recovery of the affected landscape.
As the containment of the fire is improving, it is important to remember there are Forest Closures and Evacuation Orders that remain in effect for public and crew safety. Any public entry to these areas are prohibited. The closure area boundary travels north along State Highway 89 until it reaches end of National Forest System Lands south of Sierraville. The closure continues generally east and then north along the forest boundary to the Antelope Valley State Wildlife Area. At the eastern most boundary with the Antelope Valley State Wildlife Area the closure boundary then travels generally east along the forest boundary to its junction to the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest. At that junction the closure boundary travels generally south along the Tahoe National Forest boundary to the junction of the Truckee Ranger District where the closure boundary travels west along County Road 860 (Smithneck Creek Road) until it becomes County Road 450 (Henness Pass Road) and back to Little Truckee Summit.
WEATHER:
Winds are expected to decrease in speed from the previous days, with a cold front approaching on Wednesday. Wind gusts of 25 mph with cooler temperatures are expected with a 20% chance of showers forecasted for Wednesday.

Prescribed burns planned for the Dolores Ranger District 09 06 2024
Related Incident: 2025 San Juan National Forest Prescribed Fire Program
Publication Type: News
DOLORES, Colo., Sept. 5, 2024—The San Juan National Forest’s Dolores Ranger District is planning to conduct several prescribed burns starting in September. Operations will take place over multiple days when weather and fuel conditions are favorable and may continue throughout the fall based on conditions. Both hand and aerial ignition methods may be utilized, following the weather, fuel and smoke parameters stated in the prescribed fire plan. Burning operations will be conducted by U.S. Forest Service personnel assisted by fire resources from cooperating agencies.
Project areas identified for burn implementation are:
- Haycamp Mesa: 2,500 acres located 10 miles east of Dolores, along the Haycamp Mesa Road, National Foreset Service Road (NFSR) 557, 395 and 393- Haycamp Mesa Units 10,11,13
- Boggy Draw: 2,775 acres located 15 miles northeast of Dolores, along (NFSR) 526 and (NFSR) 249- Boggy Draw Unit 45
- Salter: 1,280 acres located 15 miles east of Cahone,near Salter Y along (NFSR) 510
This effort will reduce hazardous ground fuels, lessen the risk of unplanned large-scale wildfire, help restore ponderosa pine ecosystems, and improve wildlife habitat. Prescribed fire also reduces the ladder fuels that can carry fire into the canopy, killing mature trees.
During burning operations, smoke may be visible around Mancos, Dolores, Dove Creek, Cortez, and Highway 491 between Dove Creek and Pleasant View. Smoke may settle into low lying valleys and the Dolores River Canyon overnight. Smoke monitoring will be conducted, and ignitions will be scheduled to minimize smoke impacts to communities. Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health. More information can be found online: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/wood-smoke-and-health

Operational Update
The fire was less active last night due to higher humidity recovery and more stable weather conditions. The priority for firefighters overnight was to continue strengthening lines to the southwest of the community of Dayville. A firing operation was initiated but not completed as conditions became unfavorable for burning.
Yesterday, Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) task forces worked to harden structures. Crews placed mobile water sources and installed sprinkler systems around multiple structures threatened by the fire. During the afternoon fire activity increased and crews moved into position around structures in the Dayville and Fields Creek areas, as well as on the southern edge of the fire. With a total of nine OSFM task forces now assigned to the fire, structural protection is in place around the clock.
Today, crews will remain in position at structures directly adjacent to the fire line and in areas that may become impacted. There will be a heavy structural task force presence in the Dayville and South Fork area, as well as at the critical infrastructure at Aldridge lookout. Wildland crews will work to construct and improve containment lines southeast into Guyson Basin and along the South Fork Road to cut off the fires northern and eastern progression.
Crews made access to the spot fire from yesterday in the South Fork John Day River (east of Little Baldy). That spot grew considerably with westerly winds yesterday evening and is now estimated to be at about 100 acres. Crews are working to contain that spot but are also working on constructing and improving secondary lines along Indian Creek.
Firing operations on the western side of the fire held well yesterday and overnight.
Weather A period of cooler, dryer weather is anticipated to pas through the fire area today into tomorrow, preceding a wetter system which is predicted to enter the area on Wednesday with a chance of rain on Thursday.

Prescribed burns planned for Pagosa Ranger District 09 06 2024
Related Incident: 2025 San Juan National Forest Prescribed Fire Program
Publication Type: News
PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo., August 27, 2024— The San Juan National Forest’s Pagosa Ranger District is planning to conduct prescribed burns starting in September. Burning operations may take place over multiple days when weather and fuel conditions are favorable for meeting objectives described in the prescribed fire plan.
Burning operations will utilize both hand and aerial ignitions and will be conducted by Forest Service personnel and cooperating agencies. Burns will take place in the following locations:
- Fawn Gulch (1,100 acres) adjacent to Fawn Gulch Road (FSR 666) northeast of Pagosa Springs.
- Mill Creek (300 acres) adjacent to Nipple Mountain Road (FSR 665) east of Pagosa Springs.
- Turkey Springs northwest of town between Newt Jack Road (FSR 923) and the Catamount Trail (650 acres).
- Additionally, multiple pile burns will take place at various locations later in the year when snow is present. These areas include Eight Mile Mesa, Turkey Springs, Fawn Gulch, Buckles Lake Road, East Monument Road, Quartz Meadow Road and the upper Piedra area near Williams Creek Campground.
The forests in Southwest Colorado are part of a fire-adapted ecosystem, which has historically experienced frequent, low-intensity fires on a large scale. Prescribed fire replicates that fire regime under controlled conditions. These burn units are part of mechanical fuels reduction projects designed to reduce hazardous ground fuels and long-term risk of catastrophic wildfire, as well as restoring ponderosa pine ecosystems, and improving wildlife habitat. Smoke will be visible from U.S Highways 160 and 84 and the town of Pagosa Springs.
Smoke from wildfires and prescribed fires may affect your health. More information on smoke.
Maps of the prescribed burn units and additional information can be found on Inciweb. For more information, please contact Fred Ellis, Assistant Fire Management Officer (Fuels), Pagosa Ranger District at fred.ellis@usda.gov.

Williams Mine Fire Update 09 09 2024
Related Incident: Williams Mine Fire-GPNF
Publication Type: News
Williams Mine Fire Update for Monday, September 9, 2024
The Williams Mine Fire continued to be affected by smoke from multiple fires Sunday morning. As the smoke began to clear out mid-day, fire activity increased. Some previously quiet areas showed an increase in visible smokes. Fire personnel checked these areas plus other hot spots identified by infrared. They extinguished a few spots near the edge of the fire, and will continue to monitor hot areas on the interior of the fire. Interior heat rarely poses a threat to the containment lines, but accessing many areas on the fire’s interior is highly dangerous due to falling snags.
The area of greatest concern continues to be the fire edge in the Morrison Creek drainage, west and northwest of the South Climb Trailhead. The relative humidity dropped below the forecasted level Sunday, hitting a very dry 24% and making fuels much easier to ignite and burn. Winds from the west gusted up to 20 mph, pushing the fire toward the toe of a steep slope about ¼ mile west of the trailhead.
A Type 1 Chinook helicopter and a smaller Type 2 helicopter dropped thousands of gallons of water on this area, slowing the rate of spread but not able to extinguish the many burning logs, snags, and stump holes. Fire managers hope to stall the progression of the fire toward the South Climb Trail until weather conditions turn cooler and possibly rainy Tuesday night and Wednesday. If the fire pushes up this slope too quickly before the weather changes, strategic firing may be used on the South Climb Trail to reduce fuels along it and the likelihood of embers crossing the trail, creating spot fires to the east of it.
This morning, skies were much clearer in the vicinity of the Williams Mine Fire. A haze of smoke hung over the slopes from the pockets of fuel that continue to burn. Westerly winds are pushing much of the smoke from other fires out of this area. This clearer air is likely to allow the fire to become more active earlier in the day, especially when the winds blow. Firefighters are preparing for a busy day, especially near the South Climb Trailhead.
SAFETY AND CLOSURES:
Fire traffic, school buses, hunters, tourists, motorcyclists, bicyclists, commercial vehicles, and locals are all sharing the roads. Please slow down, drive attentively, and watch out for other traffic.
The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation, Tract D Recreation Area is currently closed, please see Yakama Tract D Road Closure for more information. FS Rd 23 south of FS Rd 90 is still CLOSED to the public due to fire suppression activity. Takhlakh Lake is still closed. The revised closure for the Mt. Adams Wilderness and FS Rd 23 closure can be found at Williams Mine Fire: Area and Road Closure. The Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) is closed from the PCT's intersection with FS Rd 23 to Potato Hill. The current area closure spans the entire Mt. Adams Wilderness.
Park Fire Update Monday 09 09 2024
Related Incident: Park Fire

Park Fire Update: Monday, September 9, 2024
Southwest Complex Incident Management Team 2
Incident Commander John Truett
Size: 429,603 acres
Start Date: July 24, 2024
Containment: 99 percent
Total Personnel: 563
Resources: 1 helicopter, 7 crews, 8 engines, 4 dozers, 17 water tenders, 3 chippers, 10 excavators, 3 feller bunchers, 4 skidders, 2 log loaders, 1 backhoe, 5 road graders
CURRENT SITUATION: The hazard tree group is continuing to clean up dead hazard trees that were felled along Ponderosa Way. The roads group will finish Pearl Lake Loop today and Bear Wallow Road in a couple days. While repair activity progresses on the Park Fire, the need for fire-suppression personnel and equipment across the western United States remains high. Some Park Fire resources are being reassigned to other incidents and others are being sent home for crew rest. Community members might notice a decrease in personnel, equipment, and activity; however, fire-suppression repair work and fire patrols will continue, just at a smaller scale.
One type of machine being used by the hazard-tree group is a feller buncher. They are extraordinary machines capable of grabbing one or more full-sized trees, cutting them off near the base and stacking or even throwing them whole onto a pile. They operate on tracks or wheels. Tracked units tend to disrupt the soil less than wheeled units, so they are being used on the Park Fire. There are three types of head used on feller bunchers: felling heads, which fell single trees; bunching heads, which fell multiple trees at a time; and processing heads, which fell a tree and process it by removing all the branches and cutting the trunk into sections.
WEATHER & FIRE SAFETY: Hazy, smoky skies are the result of fires in other states. Get air-quality information for your area and view a smoke map here: tinyurl.com/ypkfbkyn. While temperatures will gradually moderate throughout the week, relative humidity levels remain very low and winds remain gusty, increasing the potential for new fires to spread quickly. Be particularly cautious while recreating and using equipment outdoors, and be aware of applicable fire restrictions.
FOREST CLOSURE: Some Lassen National Forest lands, roads, and trails near the fire area are temporarily closed for the safety of the public and firefighters during the repair phase of the fire. Prior to recreating on your public lands, view Forest Order No. 06-24-07 and the map here: fs.usda.gov/alerts/lassen/alerts-notices. It is your responsibility to know where you are in relation to the closure order.
FIRE RESTRICTIONS: Fire restrictions remain in effect throughout the area. For details, view Forest Order No. 06-24-04 here: fs.usda.gov/alerts/lassen/alerts-notices. Find links to other land management agencies’ restrictions in the Park Fire Information Linktree (URL and QR code below).

Actualización Sobre Incendio Park: Lunes, 9 de Septiembre de 2024
Administración De Incidentes Complejos Del Área Suroeste - Equipo 2
John Truett - Comandante Del Incidente
Tamaño: 429,603 acres
Fecha de Inicio: 24 de Julio de 2024
Contencion: 99%
Personal Total: 563
Recursos: 1 helicóptero, 7 cuadrillas, 8 camiones de bomberos, 4 topadoras, 17 camiones de agua, 3 astilladoras, 10 excavadoras, 3 máquinas para talar árboles, 4 minicargadoras, 2 apiladoras, 1 retroexcavadora, 5 motoniveladoras
SITUACIÓN ACTUAL: El equipo de árboles peligrosos continúa limpiando los árboles muertos que fueron talados a lo largo de Ponderosa Way. El equipo de carreteras terminará Pearl Lake Loop hoy y Bear Wallow Road en un par de días. Mientras avanza la actividad de reparación en el incendio Park, la necesidad de personal y equipos de extinción de incendios en todo el oeste de los Estados Unidos sigue siendo alta. Algunos recursos del incendio Park están siendo reasignados a otros incidentes y otros están siendo enviados a casa para que el equipo descanse. Los miembros de la comunidad podrían notar una disminución en el personal, el equipo y la actividad; sin embargo, continuarán los trabajos de reparación de extinción de incendios y las patrullas contra incendios, aunque a menor escala.
Un tipo de máquina que utiliza el equipo de árboles peligrosos es el talador apilador. Son máquinas extraordinarias capaces de agarrar uno o más árboles de tamaño natural, cortarlos cerca de la base y apilarlos o incluso apilarlos enteros. Operan sobre orugas o ruedas. Las unidades con orugas tienden a perturbar menos el suelo que las unidades con ruedas, por lo que se están utilizando en el incendio Park. Hay tres tipos de cabezas utilizados en los taladores apiladores: cabezas de tala, que talan árboles individuales; cabezas agrupadas, que derribaron varios árboles a la vez; y cabezas procesadores, que derriban un árbol y lo procesan quitando todas las ramas y cortando el tronco en secciones.
CLIMA Y SEGURIDAD CONTRA INCENDIOS: Los cielos brumosos y llenos de humo son el resultado de incendios en otros estados. Obtenga información sobre la calidad del aire en su área y vea un mapa de humo aquí: tinyurl.com/ypkfbkyn. Si bien las temperaturas se moderarán gradualmente a lo largo de la semana, los niveles de humedad relativa seguirán siendo muy bajos y los vientos seguirán siendo racheados, lo que aumentará la posibilidad de que nuevos incendios se propaguen rápidamente. Tenga especial cuidado al recrear y utilizar maquinaria al aire libre, y tenga en cuenta las restricciones contra incendios aplicables.
CIERRE DE BOSQUES: Algunos terrenos, caminos y senderos del Bosque Nacional Lassen cerca del área del incendio están cerrados temporalmente por la seguridad del público y de los bomberos durante la fase de reparación del incendio. Antes de recrear en sus tierras públicas, consulte la Orden Forestal No. 06-24-07 y el mapa aquí: fs.usda.gov/alerts/lassen/alerts-notices. Es su responsabilidad saber dónde se encuentra en relación con la orden de cierre.
RESTRICCIONES DE INCENDIO: Las restricciones contra incendios siguen vigentes en toda el área.
