Social Media, Evacuation and Closure Information: https://linktr.ee/RailRidgeFire
Acres: 176,619  ~  Containment: 92%  ~  Start Date: 09/02/24  ~  Cause: Lightning  ~  Personnel: 437

Special Notes: As fire behavior continues to moderate and seasonal weather patterns shift, Rail Ridge Fire resources are making good progress to complete suppression repair. As a result of this progress, fire information daily updates will transition to distribution every other day, unless fire behavior warrants otherwise. Additionally, as of today, the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the fire area has been lifted, though aircraft remain available in the area to respond to shifts in fire behavior as needed.

Fire closures remain in place for both firefighter and public safety, and public cooperation is appreciated as teams complete their work. For more information on closures as well as Wheeler County and Grant County evacuation information, visit https://linktr.ee/RailRidgeFire.

Are you a private land owner or contractor with projects within the fire perimeter or Malheur National Forest Rail Ridge #2 Fire Closure (06-04-01-24-30)? Contact our fire information line at 541-208-7111, or email us at: 2024.railridge.liaison@firenet.gov with questions about land access, fire suppression activities, or suppression repair efforts in your area. 

Weather and Fire Behavior: A cold front will bring cloudy skies and light rain today along with breezy southwest winds. Showers will end in the morning with a chance for hit or miss showers in the afternoon. Clearing skies and a drier air mass tonight will lead to chilly morning lows for Tuesday with temperatures near freezing. Valley temperatures will likely be around the mid 50s both in valleys and on ridgetops. Primary fire behavior characteristics continue to follow recent patterns of smoldering ground fuels and limited surface fire creeping. Heavy fuels such as stump holes and log ends will continue to burn and consume due to long-term seasonal drying.

Operations: Firefighters continue to focus efforts on building an indirect containment line in the northwest corner of the fire, in addition to mop up and repair work. Resources are continuously working to locate and repair areas impacted by dozer operations over the course of the fire. These efforts include using excavators to pull side berms back to natural contours, constructing water bars on sloped terrain, and naturally arrange duff, branches, and logs over fire lines in forested stands. Crews are hauling logs and materials from roads and shaded fuel break areas. Much of the operational work in the west, south and east has been completed as of yesterday evening.

Yellow Lake Fire 
Incident Update October 21, 2024

Size at time of update: 33,041 Acres
Containment: 37%
Personnel: 395
Start: Saturday, September 28, 2024
Cause: Human Caused (Under Investigation)
Location: 10 miles southeast of Francis, Utah

Management of the Yellow Lake Fire transitions from California Interagency Incident Management Team 2 to the Ashley and Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forests at 7 a.m. Tuesday. The local team is primarily comprised of professional fire managers and support personnel with expert knowledge of the area. The team will maintain the same focus on ensuring public and firefighter safety while continuing work on the Yellow Lake Fire.

Intermittent rain continued to subdue the Yellow Lake Fire on Sunday but also challenged suppression repair efforts and containment line reinforcement. Despite the weather delay, 4 miles of suppression repair have been completed. 

Hotspots remain south of Iron Mine Mountain. Firefighters reported seeing isolated single-tree torching along Wolf Creek Pass, SR35. Smoke remains visible above the North Fork of the Duchesne Road. However, the fire is no expected to move. 

With the predicted warmer weather, more of the perimeter will be evaluated, and containment is expected to increase. Road assessment and hazard tree removal will continue in conjunction with suppression repair.

Forest Closures: 

• Updated October 18, 2024, the Yellow Lake Fire closure area has been reduced on the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. This Order shall remain in effect until November 25, 2024, unless rescinded.
  https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1208350.pdf
• Updated October 19, 2024, the Yellow Lake Fire closure area has been reduced on the Ashley National Forest. This closure will remain in place through December 31, 2024, or until rescinded.

Transition begins with incoming Great Basin CIM Team 7

Red Rock Fire

Operations: Resources are working to mop up remaining heat along the 115 Road. Mop up is part of overall suppression efforts to ensure no heat remains in any debris that may pose a threat to containment lines. Over along the 113 road, crews continue with snag mitigation to clear any debris that could also pose a hazard. Engine crews checked and tested hose lays within the Panther Creek area. On the east and southeast sides of the fire, crews are monitoring along Ridge Road to detect potential hotspots. On the south side of the fire, crews continue checking the fire’s edge and the Moyer Creek-area for any potential remaining heat. The heat found in those areas has been isolated and is not a threat to the containment line. Over near Yellow Jacket, engines are patrolling the road and monitoring for any lingering heat.

On the Napias spot fire, resources have mopped up 100 feet in with no heat to report. An excavator was ordered for Monday to start repair work.

Garden Fire

Operations: Resources continue to patrol and monitor along the north and northeast sides of the fire, including along the Panther Creek/Morgan Creek Roads, checking for any remaining heat or smokes.

Additional Information

Weather: A very dry cold front is forecast to bring moderate to strong wind, very little precipitation, and colder temperatures. Wind gusting to neat 40 mph from the southwest on the ridges by tonight, with gusts to near 30 mph in the mid-slopes and valleys by Monday. Temperatures will warm slightly as the front approaches. The front will cross through during the overnight hours, with a 35% chance of precipitation, with any snow staying above 6500 feet. 

Smoke: For smoke information, please go to: https://www.airnow.gov/education/what-you-can-do/, or  https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/ded7837a 

Closures: The Salmon‐Challis National Forest has implemented a separate and reduced Red Rock and Garden Fire Closure, Order Number: 04‐13‐24‐027 and Order Number 04-13-24-028, effective as of 8:00 pm, Wednesday, October 16, 2024. https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/scnf/alerts-notices 

Safety: A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in place over the Red Rock and Garden fire areas, which includes uncrewed aircraft systems or drones.

Additional personnel continue to arrive to provide support, incoming hotshot crews are set to perform planned tactical firing operations alongside aerial ignition teams. The fire is expanding in the Sulanharas and Beartrap creeks. Given that the fire has reached areas that are inaccessible to ground crews, aircraft will prioritize operations in the creeks to mitigate further fire growth. Crews will work to reinforce and strengthen control lines on the western side of the fire, which has experienced a significant reduction in heat. Structure assessment teams will remain deployed for the remainder of the day to evaluate risks to residences in areas of concern.

WEATHER: Atmospheric conditions are anticipated to improve today, characterized by a gradual increase in moisture levels each day leading into early next week, accompanied by generally light winds. Temperatures are projected to be near or slightly above the seasonal average, indicating a warming and drying trend. Wind gusts are expected to reach speeds of 10 to 12 mph, with occasional gusts potentially reaching 15 mph.

EVACUATIONS:  Mandatory evacuations remain in place for zone LKH-1448-B. Residents who have not evacuated are encouraged to do so. Evacuation information and alerts can be found by visiting protect.genasys.com

Incident Activity: Containment has reached 95%. There may still be smoke visible from inside the fire perimeter in areas of timber but this is to be expected. These smokes are isolated and not a threat to fire growth or containment. Suppression repair work Saturday covered a lot of ground with 90% of the 33 miles of dozer and handline created to contain the Valley Fire now repaired to a more natural state ready for regrowth. The seeding of these areas will be the focus of today’s work by firefighters. Repair and seeding work should be near completion Monday. The process of turning back the remaining fire management work to the Idaho Department of Lands is underway. Equipment is being removed from the fire area and crews are being released from the Valley Fire as work by Nevada Team 2/Type 3 Incident Management Team nears completion.

Trail Closures in Valley Fire Area: A big thanks goes to the public for honoring trail closure signs. Please remember that the Idaho Department of Fish and Game has closed all roads and trails on the Boise Front segment of the Boise River Wildlife Management Area west of Highway 21 and north of Warm Springs Avenue. This closure covers all entry until further notice and extends to all travel off roads and trails. 

Weather: High temperatures are about 5 degrees warmer than normal in the Valley Fire area with a high of about 60 degrees on average with sun, some clouds and dry conditions.

Valley Fire Overview: The fire was reported Friday, October 4, 2024, about 1 mile east of Boise on the north side of Idaho State Highway 21. The fire was very visible from East Boise as it burned in mostly grassy fuels in the Boise Foothills. Quick work on initial attack stopped the fire from reaching nearby homes. The current fire cost estimate is $4.5 million. The fire is under the jurisdiction of the Idaho Department of Lands with a full suppression management strategy. 
 

Firewood is still available in Iron Creek . The area is open to firewood gatherer's with a valid U.S. Forest Service-Sawtooth National Forest firewood permit AND an exemption letter.

For questions on firewood collection on the Sawtooth National Forest, please contact the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, 208.727.5000 or Stanley Ranger Station 208.774.3000. 

Elk Fire Update

Sunday, October 20, 2024 - 9:00 a.m.

Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team 1

Dan Dallas, Incident Commander

Special Notes: Evacuations and closures will continue to evolve on the Elk Fire as additional progress is made. Please continue checking the evacuation and closure links below for current information. 

As the weather begins to warm back up, pockets of smoke will become visible inside the fire area. Fire managers are aware of these hotspots and will take action as needed. The public can expect to see smoke and should not become alarmed. 

Fire managers subdivide the fire perimeter on large fires like the Elk into branches and divisions to ensure effective management and safer operations. These daily updates will describe the fire’s activities and our suppression actions within these divisions, which are displayed on the accompanying fire maps. Note that branch numbers and division letters don’t always run sequentially to allow for expansion of additional branches/divisions if the fire grows.  

Current Situation: The weather system that passed over the Elk Fire on Thursday and Friday dropped about an inch of precipitation, which significantly slowed fire behavior. Fire personnel scouted the fire area yesterday and were not able to access many areas due to the snow and mud.   

Division A: Fire managers are developing a structure protection plan should it be needed in the future near Road 120. The Division was unstaffed yesterday due to limited fire behavior and difficult access.  

Division Z: Crews checked that all pumps are operational for the Little Horn drainage. They also did some reconnaissance work in Red Canyon. Crews were able to start suppression repair work on dozer lines in the state wildlife area. 

Divisions P, M, K: New personnel arrived and scouted these Divisions for suppression repair work on dozer lines. It was too wet yesterday to begin that work, but the work will begin as soon as conditions allow.  

Divisions I, H, F: Dozer lines on the SE corner of the fire were too wet to begin repair work yesterday, so fire personnel will reassess when conditions are improved. Crews are focusing on the 26 Road, prepping it to use as an indirect fireline, to its junction with the 16 Road, and will prep that road to its junction with Highway 14. This work includes removing brush and other fuels by limbing trees and removing understory vegetation to eliminate small ladder fuels, which will assist with defending firelines in the event fire activity increases as the drying trend continues. 

Division D: Numerous pumps were pulled and staged for potential future use. Fire supervisors are assessing a potential indirect fireline north of Burgess Junction to protect the WY DOT compound and the Forest Service Visitor Center and Work Center. Work continues to prep the 15 Road north to Division A. 

Liaison officers will be reaching out to private landowners over the next few days to discuss suppression repair activities. A warming and drying trend is expected to reestablish next week, and smoke could again become visible in the fire area. Firefighting crews will remain alert and ready for any suppression actions that may need to be taken.  

Weather, Fuels, and Fire Behavior:  Today will transition back to terrain driven winds with warmer temperatures. Drainage winds will change to easterly upslope flows mid- to late-morning with gusts in the mid-teens. The temperatures will warm a few degrees with highs in the mid-50s at 7,500 feet, which is about 15 degrees above normal. Monday through Tuesday will bring more of a southwest wind flow, with stronger overnight winds, but nothing extreme. There are additional chances for light precipitation Tuesday.  

Fire behavior specialists indicated the precipitation was a significant season slowing event, but not necessarily a season ending event. While the precipitation was very beneficial; heavy fuels are still burning within the fire perimeter. An infrared flight last night indicated pockets of heat on the western side of the fire from dead trees on the ground continuing to burn. Smoke may be visible from Sheridan and Story.

Fire Information: 218-432-0953, 8 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
Email: 2024.evergreenforest@firenet.gov

Fire Quick Facts
Size: 167 acres 

Location: Pine City, MN 

Resources: 3 engines, 2 dozers, and 3 tracked vehicles

Containment: 5% 

Cause: Under investigation 

Start Date: 10/17/2024 

Total Personnel: 40

Current Status: Yesterday, the fire received light precipitation that temporarily moderated fire behavior for that day. Fire behavior was observed as smoldering and creeping and fire crews were able to take advantage of the conditions to secure a line around most of the fire perimeter. Firefighter and public safety remain the main priorities for the incident. Available aerial resources may be utilized if fire activity increases. Fire reburn and spotting is a concern due to continue leaf drop inside and outside of the fire perimeter.

Closures: The DNR issued an Emergency Closure Order for public safety due to the fire. The closure area consists of the Chengwatana State Forest Road on the north, the St. Croix River National Scenic Riverway boundary to the east, the Snake River on the south and the full extent of the state forest west boundary. The area is closed to the public until further notice, including dispersed camping, hunting, recreational trail riding, hiking and other activities. The Snake River Campground, south of the Snake River, is unaffected by the fire and is open. Additional closure information is available on the Inciweb page and the Minnesota Incident Command System (MNICS) website: https://mnics.org/wpress/dnr-temporarily-closing-a- portion-of-chengwatana-state-forest-due-to-wildfire/

Planned Actions: With warmer and drier weather expected, crews will continue to hold and improve the perimeter of the fire. Though terrain and access to the fire has been challenging, tracked equipment is being used to traverse the difficult terrain. A 15-person module from New Mexico arrived on the fire today and additional resources are on order.

Background: The Evergreen Forest Fire was reported on October 17, 2024, on the Chengwatana State Forest, 10 miles east of Pine City, MN. The fire is burning actively in hardwood timber with leaf litter, on Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) managed land.

National Weather Service Forecast & Smoke: Today-Sunny. High of 78. Relative humidity around 38. Southwest wind 5-10 mph, with gusts to 20 mph. Tonight-Mostly clear. Low of 52. Southwest winds 5 mph, becoming light. Monday-Mostly sunny. High of 77. Southern winds, 5-10 mph in the morning. Winds could gust up to 15 mph later in the day. Air quality is forecasted for “good” for Sunday and Monday. https://www.pca.state.mn.us/air- water-land-climate/air-quality-forecast

PACK TRAIL FIRE

Sunday, October 20, 2024 Update
Fire Information Phone: 307-395-2351 | Email: 2024.Packtrail @firenet.gov

Total Acres: 89,215         Confined: 62%     Total Personnel: 541     

Operations – On the southern edge, crews work to create a fuel break along the 532 Road and will cool and secure the fire’s edge behind Cowboy Camp. On the west flank, most of the remaining heat is in the southwest corner near Bacon Creek. Crews continue to connect containment lines in rough terrain above Elk Track Ranch and prepare for a possible small tactical burnout operation to reduce fuels along Bacon Creek Pack Trail and keep the fire east of the trail. On the east side, crews cooled down hotspots within 100 feet of the fire’s perimeter, connected containment lines from the 540 to 645 road, and checked sprinklers and pumps to ensure they were still operational after the cold weather.  Crews will work to validate containment features above the 635 road and chip the debris along the 540 Road. On the north side, crews continue to mop up hotspots and cold trail the fire’s edge. 

Safety – Despite the recent precipitation, Teton Interagency Fire Managers are maintaining the Very High Fire Danger Rating for Grand Teton National Park, the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the Shoshone National Forest, and the National Elk Refuge. This precipitation was not a fire season ending event. Due to wind, fuels will begin to rapidly dry out when the snow melts. Any spark can ignite fire which can grow rapidly into a major incident. Residents and visitors are urged to exercise extreme caution with fires or other possible ignition sources. Never leave your campfire unattended, even for a moment. Always ensure someone is watching it or extinguish it completely before leaving. Drown the fire with water, stir the ashes, and feel with the back of your hand to confirm it is cool. 

Please use caution while driving these areas, especially on narrow secondary roads. Always expect to encounter fire vehicles and heavy equipment in and around the fire area. Check with WY-DOT for possible closures due to fire activity, especially if you are planning to travel on US-26 across the Continental Divide. Closures are not expected, but with active fire in the area checking status before travel is recommended.

“If you fly, we can’t.” Remember that flying a personal drone over a fire area during a temporary flight restriction is illegal and can be an extremely dangerous threat to both our aviators and firefighters on the ground.

Weather – Today will be sunny and warm with temperatures of 45-59 degrees with a minimum relative humidity’s between 23% - 37%.  Winds from the southwest will be 5-10 MPH with gusts up to 15. Warmer and drier weather will return over the week. To learn more about air quality, visit Fire.AirNow.Gov.

Evacuations – Lava Mountain Lodge, Roaring River Subdivision, Buckboard Subdivision, Double Bar J Ranch, Lava Creek Ranch, Triangle C Ranch, Pelham Lake, Sheridan Creek Camp Areas, Old Mackenzie Ranch, Upper Gros Ventre, Darwin Ranch have been reduced to Level 2 “Set” status. Brooks Lake Lodge, Pinnacle, Breccia, and Long Creek, and Dunior areas have been reduced to a Level 1 “Ready” status. Union Pass subdivision remains in a Level 2 “Set” status. See the Fremont County Emergency Management Facebook Page for alerts and updates. See the Teton County Emergency Management website updates and to sign up for emergency alerts through Everbridge.

Road Closures – The Union Pass Road is closed on the Pinedale Ranger District (BTNF) from Mosquito Lake to the Moon Lake Road on the Wind River District (SHO). Moon Lake Road is also closed. 

Forest Closures - Closure Order #04-03-24-317 is in effect from October 14, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. through November 15, 2024 at 12:00 a.m. unless rescinded. This order supersedes previous orders, including #04-03-24-316, prohibiting the same or similar acts in the same described area.
