Incident Management
IMT3 Nevada Team 4 has reached the end of its 14-day rotation. After shadowing the incident management in place yesterday, California Team 10 took command of both fires today at 6:00 a.m.  

Public Meeting
A public meeting to discuss the current fire situation is scheduled for Friday, October 4 at 6:00 p.m. The public meeting will be held at the National Museum of Military Vehicles, 6419 US 26, Dubois, WY.

Weather
Expect dry, cooler conditions with lighter winds today. The National Weather Service in Riverton has issued a Fire Weather Watch for Friday afternoon through Friday evening due to possible high winds and low humidity. 

Operations
Despite red flag conditions yesterday, firefighters were able to hold the fire to within its same footprint. Ground crews were supported by aerial resources throughout the day without strong winds grounding air operations. Air support helped address two areas of concern in the southeast and northwest corners of the Fish Creek Fire. The fire burned into the Purdy fire scar of 2006 but was largely checked by aviation. 

Firefighters will continue to confine the fire to the south of Highway 26 and north of the FS 532 road and provide structure protection for subdivisions along the highway. Crews will develop confinement lines along the FS540 road, extending north from the Lava Mountain burn scar. They will connect the lines to natural features on Lava Mountain and the Fish Creek Fire farther north. 

Safety
An air quality alert for wildfire smoke was issued on Wednesday morning at 11:00 a.m. for portions of Central WY, including Dubois. The alert will remain in effect until 1:00 p.m. today. The WY Department of Health recommends that the elderly, young children, and individuals with respiratory problems avoid physical exertion and minimize outdoor activities during this time.  

Due to current conditions and expected weather, residents and visitors are urged to exercise extreme caution with fire or possible ignition sources, including campfires, as well as stay out of posted closed areas and avoid areas around fire impacted zones. 

Closures
Closure Order #04-03-24-314 is in effect from October 1 through October 15, 2024 at 6:00 a.m. unless rescinded. This order supersedes previous orders, including #04-03-24-313, prohibiting the same or similar acts in the same described area. Click here to access the closure order and map.

Evacuations
Evacuations and evacuation alerts for several subdivisions and ranches in Fremont County WY remain in place. See the Fremont County Emergency Management Facebook page for immediate alerts.

In the fire's interior where heat remains, it will continue to smolder and creep within the fire perimeter with minimal intensity. Smoke will be present until winter snows fully extinguish remaining heat.  

Current Situation:  

• The Lava Fire is 88% contained at 97,615 acres, with 501 personnel assigned. A notable increase in containment is expected over the next several days near God’s Acres and Willow Creek on the northeastern and eastern side of the fire.  
• In these areas, over 100 firefighters are working in steep terrain, directly along the fire perimeter, to secure hotspots.  
• Interior pockets of unburned fuel are slowly being consumed by fire, creating visible smoke columns on the slopes above Lake Cascade. These smokes are not a threat to containment nor to adjacent communities. 
• It is not safe for firefighters to enter deep into the interior of the fire perimeter due to frequent hazard trees and steep slopes.  
• Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is helping ground crews to target any remaining heat that could escape containment lines. 

Weather: Although the temperature is cooling, dry conditions persist. The low relative humidity will reach a near critical level. Nevertheless, fire behavior will remain minimal, and the fire will continue to smolder. The area still retains moisture from the rain event two weeks ago. With shorter daylight hours as fall progresses, there is less available solar radiation to preheat and dry fuels, which would make them receptive to fire. 

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. Learn more at Gem County Sheriff's Office. 

Valley County Sheriff’s Office has removed Zones 2 & 3 from LEVEL 1 “READY” status. Zones 4 – 6 remain in a LEVEL 1 “READY” status. Learn more at Valley County Sheriff's Office. 

Closures: The Boise and Payette National Forests have adjusted the Lava Fire area closure yesterday, increasing access for the public to select areas north and south of the fire perimeter. For updated map and closure information visit Closure areas | Boise National Forest | Facebook. 

Road Closures: Third Fork Road at Nesbitt Lane, Second Fork Road at Nesbitt Lane, and Nesbitt Lane. Check out updated Gem County closure information at Gem County Sheriff's Office. 

Temporary Flight Restrictions: A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in effect. View a map of the TFR and details at https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_8199.html.

Line Fire Community Meeting

Saturday October 5, 2024, at 1:00 P.M.

Fire Management Staff with the Line Fire will hold a community meeting at the Big Bear Performing Arts Center, 39707 Big Bear Blvd in Big Bear Lake, CA. 92315

This meeting will also be live-streamed on the U.S. Forest Service - San Bernardino National Forest Facebook page.

Topics to be covered: A Line Fire Update, an Update on the Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER), Status of Fire Fuels Projects, and a Cal Trans Update, plus a Q and A at the end of the Meeting,

Hood River, Ore. (October 2, 2024) – The Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH) State Trail from Hood River to Mosier will reopen, Thursday, October 3, 2024. This section of the state trail has been closed since late July due to the Microwave Tower Fire. In recent days, carefully planned fire suppression activities successfully put out an old disposal site hotspot that burned close to the trail and emitted noxious smoke into the area.

This section of the HCRH state trail between East and West Hatfield Trailheads will open to the public. However, other area closures associated with the Microwave Tower Fire remains in effect on all National Forest System (NFS) lands within the fire perimeter. Public entry to areas outside the trail (U.S. Forest Service closure area) is still prohibited, including entering the disposal site. 

“We are excited to reopen the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail between Hood River and Mosier. Our staff are out there now preparing for reopening, but we still want to warn people that this was a very recently burned area and they should still exercise caution,” said Oregon Parks and Recreation Department Park Manager David Spangler. “We’re very grateful to our partners for all of their diligence and attention to help us reopen this critical recreation and community corridor safely.” 

To ensure the safety of local communities and recreationists, firefighters from the Scenic Area and Mosier Fire District worked together to excavate and extinguish hotspots within the burning disposal site. The disposal site is no longer emitting smoke or heat. The Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area also implemented air monitoring contracts and consulted with Federal and state air quality experts during and after the mitigation work. Recently conducted air monitoring results showed metals with known inhalation health risks were below the limit of detection, and particulate matter levels, which is typical for wildfire smoke, remained low.  Low levels of volatile organic compounds associated with the site, along with localized water and soil contamination will remain an ongoing concern, so local, state, and Federal partners continue to collaborate on further hazard mitigation. 

“We want to thank our partners and local resources for their commitment to helping extinguish the remaining burning fuels within the disposal site” said Nicolas Granum, Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. “We ask that visitors do not enter the disposal site and respect the barriers put in place to keep individuals safe while recreating on the nearby trail.” 

People intending to hike near the fire area, or any recently burned area, should always remain alert and be aware of increased hazards, particularly snags (which are recently burned or dead trees). Dead or dying trees that remain standing after a fire are unstable, especially in high winds. Loose rocks and logs can be present in a burned area and are unpredictable, creating a falling hazard. Additionally, burned vegetation can also contribute to landslides, mudslides and erosion when rain occurs. The ground in a burned area can also be unstable, due to burned-out roots beneath the surface. After soils and vegetation have been charred, rainfall that would normally be absorbed could run off extremely quickly. 

A detailed map and description of the Microwave Tower Fire closure area is available at the end of this News Release, on the Scenic Area website and at the US Forest Service office. Closure barriers and signs have been posted at the location. The HCRH State Trail, managed by Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and Oregon Department of Transportation, may have other advisories in place.

HOOD RIVER, Ore. (el 19 de septiembre de 2024) — El cierre del área asociado con el incendio Microwave Tower continúa vigente en todas las tierras del Sistema Forestal Nacional (NFS por sus siglas en inglés) dentro del perímetro del incendio en el Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (Scenic Area). Las actividades de mitigación de riesgos continúan, especialmente en el sitio del vertedero de residuos ubicado a lo largo del Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, entre Hood River y Moiser. Aunque el perímetro del incendio está contenido, el cierre del área deberá permanecer vigente hasta que sea seguro para el público recuperar el acceso al área.

El objetivo del cierre es proteger de manera proactiva la seguridad pública y de los bomberos, ya que el Scenic Area trabaja activamente para abordar un vertedero de desechos abandonado que está ardiendo y que ha estado emitiendo gases y humo nocivos a medida que el contenido continúa quemando. El vertedero alguna vez se utilizó como lugar para desechos de huertos, automóviles y otros desechos antes de que el terreno se convirtiera en tierras federales.

Debido a la característica excepcionalmente tóxica de estos combustibles en combustión, el Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area implementó un contrato de monitoreo del aire y continúa consultando con expertos federales y estatales en calidad del aire, para garantizar la seguridad de las comunidades locales y los bomberos que están trabajando en el sitio de disposición. Los resultados iniciales revelaron un nivel elevado de material particulado, que es típico del humo de los incendios forestales; sin embargo, también se detectaron niveles elevados de compuestos orgánicos volátiles (VOC por sus siglas en inglés) en el área, que se concentraron directamente en el vertedero. Como resultado, los bomberos están usando equipo de protección personal (EPP), que incluye protección respiratoria y equipo especializado, mientras trabajan en el área. El monitoreo del aire continúa mientras los bomberos trabajan para apagarlo.

“Los bomberos siguen trabajando a diario para extinguir el vertedero que esta ardiendo lo antes posible, manteniendo la seguridad del personal y de nuestras comunidades como máxima prioridad”, dijo Nicolas Granum, el director general adjunto del Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. “Por favor, respete el cierre del incendio para permitir que el trabajo continúe y evite el área mientras el humo tóxico continúe afectando el sendero”.

Es posible que se vea humo en la autopista interestatal I-84 mientras continúan los trabajos de excavación. Tenga en cuenta que la exposición al humo peligroso puede tener efectos adversos para la salud, especialmente para las personas con problemas respiratorios conocidos. Pedimos que el público evite el área y esta sección del Historic Columbia River Highway Trail mientras continúan los trabajos de mitigación.

Se encuentra un mapa detallado y una descripción del área de cierre del incendio Microwave Tower en el sitio web del Scenic Area y en nuestra oficina. Se han colocado barreras y señales de cierre en el área.

HOOD RIVER, Ore. (September 19, 2024) — The area closure associated with the Microwave Tower fire remains in effect on all National Forest System (NFS) lands within the fire perimeter on the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. Ongoing hazard mitigation activities continue, especially at the waste disposal site located along the Historic Columbia River Highway State Trail, between Hood River and Moiser. Although the fire perimeter is contained, the area closure will need to remain in place until it is safe for the public to regain access to the area. 

The objective of the closure is to proactively protect public and firefighter safety as the Scenic Area actively works at a smoldering abandoned waste disposal site, that has been issuing noxious gases and smoke as the contents continue to consume. The disposal site was once used as a place for orchard waste, automobiles, and other debris prior to the land becoming Federal lands. 

Because of the uniquely toxic nature of these burning fuels, the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area implemented an air monitoring contract and continue to consult with Federal and state air quality experts, to ensure the safety of local communities and firefighters who are working the disposal site. Initial results revealed elevated particulate matter, which is the typical for wildfire smoke, however, elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were also detected in the area, and concentrated directly in the burning pit. As a result, firefighters are using personal protective equipment (PPE), including breathing protection and specialized equipment, while working in the area. Air monitoring continues while firefighters work to put it out. 

“Firefighters continue to work daily to extinguish the smoldering disposal site as soon as possible, while keeping the safety of personnel and our communities the top priority” said Nicolas Granum, Deputy Forest Supervisor for the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. “Please respect the fire closure to allow work to continue and avoid the area while toxic smoke continues to impact the trail.”

Smoke may be visible on Interstate 84 as excavating work continues. Please be aware that exposure to hazardous smoke can have adverse health effects, especially for individuals with known respiratory issues. We ask that the public avoid the area and this section of the Historic Columbia River Highway Trail while ongoing mitigation work continues. 

A detailed map and description of the Microwave Tower closure area is available on the Scenic Area website and at our office. Closure barriers and signs have been posted on the ground.

KEY ELEMENTS OF THE BAER ASSESSMENT
Forest Service BAER assessment teams are established by Forest Supervisors before wildfires are fully contained.

The teams coordinate and work with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), National Weather Service (NWS), local counties, State Department of Transportation, and other federal, state, and local agencies to strategically assess potential post-fire impacts to the watersheds burned from wildland fires.

The BAER assessment teams are evaluating watershed conditions to determine the level of potential risks to human life, safety, property, critical natural and cultural-heritage resources, and determine if there are appropriate and effective emergency stabilization measures that can be implemented on federal lands in a timely manner to reduce unacceptable risks from potential flooding and debris flow threats.

The BAER assessment team conducts field surveys and uses science-based models to rapidly evaluate and assess the burned area.BAER assessment teams are staffed by specially trained professionals that may include: hydrologists, soil scientists, engineers, geologists, biologists, botanists, archeologists, geographic information system mapping specialists, recreation and trails specialists, and others who evaluate the burned area and prescribe emergency response actions to protect the land quickly and effectively.BAER assessments usually begin before a wildfire has been fully contained.

The BAER assessment team generates a “Soil Burn Severity” map by using satellite imagery which is then validated and adjusted by BAER team field surveys to assess watershed conditions and watershed response to the wildfire. The map identifies areas of soil burn severity by categories of low/unburned, moderate, and high which corresponds to a projected increase in watershed response.

The BAER team presents these findings and treatment recommendations to the Forest Supervisor in an assessment report that identifies immediate and emergency stabilization actions needed to address potential post-fire risks to human life and safety, property, cultural-heritage and critical natural resources on National Forest System lands.

The BAER report describes watershed pre- and post-fire response information, areas of concern for human life, safety and property, and recommended short-term emergency stabilization actions for federal lands that burned. In most cases, only a portion of the burned area is actually treated. 

If the BAER assessment team determines there may be potential emergency situations, the short-term goal is to have flood and erosion control protection measures completed before the first large, damaging rain events occur.

Timely implementation is critical if BAER emergency response actions are to be effective.The BAER assessment team coordinates with other federal and local agencies, and counties that assist private landowners in preparing for increased run-off and potential flooding.

Federal assistance to private landowners regarding post-fire potential impacts is the primary responsibility of the NRCS through the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program (https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/landscape/ewpp/).

NRCS in coordination with additional state, local and federal agencies conduct damage survey reports for the private land adjacent to and downstream from the burned areas. NRCS uses these reports, along with the BAER team’s assessment report, to develop recommended emergency measures for businesses and private home and landowners to reduce the impacts to their property from potential increased water and debris flows.

Fire Size: 2,402 

Cause: lightning 

Location: approximately two (2) miles southwest of the confluence of Panther Creek and the Main Salmon River on the North Fork Ranger District in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. 

Fuels: grass, brush, dead and down fuels, and timber

InciWeb: https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/idscf-garden-fire  

Fire situation:  Firefighter and public safety is the number one priority for the Garden Fire.  The fire is backing with moderate to active fire behavior with smoke continuing to be visible in lower Panther Creek and along the Main Salmon River. Firefighters currently are not observing long range spotting and potential for crown fire is low due to the fire burning in the 2000 Clear Creek Fire and adjacent to the 2007 Clear Sage Fire. However, fire managers have observed fire growth anywhere from 500 to 1,200 acres in a single day.  Smoke continues to drift into the North Fork and Salmon areas from the Garden Fire and other fires to the west. 

The fire is growing mainly to the south into Clear Creek and is flanking to the east and west on those sides of the fires.  Infrared flights are currently planned every other night, acreage will be updated at that time.  Fire managers are using a point protection strategy (a wildfire response strategy, which protects specific assets or highly valued resources from the wildfire without directly halting the continued spread of the wildfire) to minimize exposure to fire personnel while protecting identified values, including private property and Forest Service infrastructure. Firefighters will continue to be on the ground patrolling the Panther Creek and Salmon River areas and will use aerial reconnaissance as necessary.  Visitors using the Garden Creek or Clear Creek trails are encouraged to #KnowBeforeYouGo and to be aware of the fire activity in the area.  Trailheads are posted with fire information.  The fire will be updated every Monday in the weekly Salmon-Challis National Forest Fire Summary or if there is significant change in fire activity. 

Weather:  A dry cold front will arrive this afternoon. Expect near red flag conditions today with humidities in the teens and winds gusting 20 to 25 mph this afternoon. Lighter winds are expected for Thursday. But another cold front will arrive for Friday and wind gusts could fall in the 25 to 35 mph range.

Fire Name: Nugget Fire

Fire Size: 297

Cause: lightning

Location: approximately 40 miles west of Salmon on the North Fork Ranger District in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, west of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.

Fuels: grass and brush with scattered timber.

Fire situation:  Firefighter and public safety is the number one priority for the Nugget Fire.  The fire is primarily burning in the grass and brush and is hung up in the cliffs above the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.  The fire is surrounded by and in fire scars from 2005, 2013, and 2015.  Fire managers are recommending the public do not enter the Nugget and Cradle Creek drainages.  The fire will be updated every Monday in the weekly Salmon-Challis National Forest Fire Summary or if there is significant change in fire activity. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fire Name: Garden Fire

Fire Size: 234

Cause: lightning

Location: approximately two (2) miles southwest of the confluence of Panther Creek and the Main Salmon River on the North Fork Ranger District in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.

Fuels: grass, brush, and timber

Fire situation:  Firefighter and public safety is the number one priority for the Garden Fire.  Fire activity is minimal to moderate with smoke continuing to be visible in lower Panther Creek and along the Main Salmon River.  Visitors using the Garden Creek or Clear Creek trails are encouraged to #KnowBeforeYouGo and to be aware of the fire activity in the area.  Trailheads will be posted with fire information.  The fire will be updated every Monday in the weekly Salmon-Challis National Forest Fire Summary or if there is significant change in fire activity.

Weather:  The lack of rainfall will extend another seven days at least as high pressure continues to dominate the Great Basin weather pattern.  Expect warming and drying for the next two days. This ridge does pull back for a low that passes to the north on Saturday night.  Afternoon highs on Saturday at low elevations will once again approach 90 degrees, which will put afternoon humidity readings close to the 15 percent critical threshold.
