Trail Ridge Fire

Fire Summary

Approx. 5 miles SE Sula, MT

Approx. 11 miles NW of Big Hole National Battlefield

Size: 18,138 acres Completion: 80%

Personnel: 37

 

 

 

 


CURRENT STATUS

The Trail Ridge Fire is burning on the Wisdom District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and the Darby-Sula District of the Bitterroot National Forest.  A Type 4 team assumed command of the fire October 19, 2022.  The incoming Incident Commander is Cache Gibbons with Incident Commander (t) Cody Hoover.  Both are from Bitterroot National Forest, Darby Ranger District.

 

Currently the fire is 18,138 acres.  On Saturday, October 22, the fire received a wetting rain with snow starting around 3,800 feet.  This moisture has considerately dampened fire activity.  With more moisture expected over the fire in the coming days the fire will likely continue to smolder and put up very little smoke.  Today fire officials will reassess conditions and begin repair work where needed.

 

The main objective for this fire continues to be firefighter and public safety.  Other primary objectives include keeping the fire    from impacting private lands and values along Highway 93 and East Fork of the Bitterroot corridors utilizing point protection and indirect lines where needed. Suppression repair work will continue if needed.

 

 

FIRE WEATHER AND BEHAVIOR
Today will be mostly sunny with a chance of a rain snow mix this afternoon. Highs will be in the 40’s with winds south southeast 5-10 mph.  Gusts could be as high as 21 mph.  Tonight will have a low of around 21, with winds gusts as high as 21 mph.  Chance of precipitation will be 90%. Moisture will continue throughout this week.

Fire Update – Elkhorn Fire, August 25, 2023

\n\n

McCall, Idaho – The Elkhorn Fire is 26,048 acres and 88% complete. Minimal smoldering fire activity has been observed. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today. Warmer drier weather is expected early next week. While recent precipitation has helped to substantially limit fire activity and growth, some heat may remain in the heavy dead and down vegetation on the forest floor until the area receives significant, repeated rain or snow. Fire activity within the remote wilderness may increase during periods of hotter, drier weather but is not expected to threaten values at risk.

\n\n

Structure defense equipment on values in the Salmon River canyon above Arctic Lodge has been removed by helicopter and boat. Firefighters and heavy equipment will continue suppression repair on mechanical line, handlines, and roads.

\n\n

Boaters passing through and camping in the area of the Elkhorn Fire should be aware that fire activity has significantly altered the landscape on both sides of the river in the area. Please use caution when floating through the fire area, and be especially on the lookout for falling rocks, logs, and other debris. Heavy rains on burned areas may create new river hazards and rapids. Camping, recreating (e.g., picnics, bathroom breaks, beach walking) and stopping through the area of Elkhorn Fire activity is allowed with some exceptions. Once past Hancock Camp (River Mile 26.1) there is no stopping until boaters pass Magpie Creek Camp (River Mile 29.6). After passing Magpie Creek Camp, boaters will be allowed to camp and recreate on a First Come, First Served basis everywhere except Upper Allison, Allison, Lower Allison, and Whitewater Camp. After passing Whitewater Ranch (River Mile 39) there are no restrictions connected to the Elkhorn Fire. For additional information on rafting, contact the river desk at 208-756-5587 or 208-481-2625.

\n\n

Effective August 25, 2023 at 0001 hours, the U.S. Forest Service Nez Perce-Clearwater and Payette National Forests Elkhorn Fire area, roads and trails closure order #01-17-05-23-003, https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/nezperceclearwater/alerts-notices/?aid=82169, which spanned both sides of the Salmon River but excludes the Salmon River Wild and Scenic Corridor below the high-water line has been rescinded.

\n\n

The Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in place for a two-mile buffer around the fire perimeter will be rescinded at 9:00 p.m. tonight. All aircraft (including drones) not assigned to the fire are required to remain out of the TFR area between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

\n\n

The National Incident Management Organization Team 4 will be transitioning command of the fire to a local Type 4 organization on Saturday, August 26. This will be the final update unless significant events occur.

On June 24th, 2024 the High Sierra Ranger District of the Sierra National Forest, was in the path of a lightning storm that created 18 fires. An additional fire, and by far the largest, is the Basin Fire which was detected, June 26th, 2024. The fire traveled in a northeast direction toward Black Rock at a rapid rate.

Air resources from the surrounding 18 fires on the High Sierra Ranger District were reassigned to the Basin Fire. Aircraft was utilized to slow the rate of spread. The cause of the Basin Fire is currently under investigation. 
Over a hundred firefighters responded to the Basin Fire. Hot Shots, hand crews, dozers, and engines focused on point protection for structures in the Balch Camp area. Resource orders were placed to mobilize more forces, to not only focus on the initial attack of the Basin Fire, but to also continue suppressing the 18 other fires that are on the district. 

The fire is at 2000-4500 feet elevation, northeast of Pine Flat Lake, west of the Spanish Mountain, south of Black Rock Rd (11S012) and north of the South Fork of the Kings River.

Today the Central West Zone Type 3 Incident Management team transferred command of the fire back to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management. An engine crew continues to mop up and suppress any remaining heat along the southeast flank of the fire and in and around the structures. All resources with the exception of one engine and overhead have been released from the incident. 

The Boulder View Fire began Thursday, June 27 east of Carefree, AZ in the Sonoran Desert. Fire crews are taking full suppression actions on the wildfire.

The Sheering Fire, located between Duckwall & Bell Mountain near Cherry Lake, started on June 24, 2024, at approximately 7:19 pm. It was one of several fires that resulted from an unusual lightning event that moved through the area that day. In addition to the Sheering Fire, two fires were ignited in the Clavey River drainage, where the 2013 Rim Fire started. Because of their location and the known potential for those fires to become large quickly, they were the top priority for fire resources, including air support. They were fully contained, and then additional resources moved to the Sheering Fire which has burned with low to moderate intensity and a slow rate of spread. 

Since the beginning of the Sheering Fire, fire managers have maintained a full suppression strategy and public and firefighter safety remain the highest priority. It is located within the 2013 Rim Fire footprint and has excessive snags, hazard trees, and dead and down fuel, making it a higher risk for firefighter safety when performing suppression activities. Due to the fire’s location, its slow rate of spread, and its mostly low-intensity fire behavior, fire managers have been able to utilize existing roads and natural features for containment lines in several locations around the fire perimeter, protecting both firefighters and resources in the area. Burn scars from the Quarry Fire (2023), Bone Fire (2023), and Rosasco Fire (2019) provide secondary barriers to East, West, and South.

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Incident Management Team 1 will transition the fire to a local Type 3 organization as of 7:00 a.m. Thursday July 18th.  The fire is 100% lined at 4,102 acres and is 84% contained as of July 17th. 

 

The Salt Creek Fire, located 10 miles east of Eagle Point, began on Sunday, July 7. The Oregon Department of Forestry's Incident Management Team 1 took command of the fire on July 8. 

Background: The Salt Creek Fire was first reported Sunday afternoon just after 4 p.m. on July 7. Both ODF Southwest Oregon District and Lake Creek Fire District initially responded. When firefighters arrived on scene, it was estimated to be 2-5 acres and growing quickly in the hot, dry and windy conditions. Numerous resources were ordered, including engines, bulldozers, water tenders and multiple types of aircraft. The fire grew to an estimated 10 acres within the half hour, and 200 acres an hour and a half into initial attack. Six helicopters, two Large Air Tankers (LATs) and a Very Large Air Tanker (VLAT) were ordered, and numerous retardant drops helped to box in the fire by creating temporary retardant lines around the majority of the incident. By the afternoon of July 8, the fire had grown to approximately 1,500 - 2,000 acres and local crews had lined 40% of the fire.

The Falls Fire started on July 10, 2024, approximately 25 miles northwest of Burns, Oregon, on the Emigrant Creek Ranger District of the Malheur National Forest. The Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, and Oregon State Fire Marshal are working in partnership with Incident Management Teams. 

Initial attack resources attempted direct tactics early on but were challenged by the terrain and accessibility to the eastern side of the fire. Full suppression efforts are being implemented utilizing a combination of direct, indirect, and point protection where the highest probability of success can be safely achieved.

A full-suppression strategy is being used for the fire, while insuring to minimize risks to responders and the public. The fire was human-caused and remains under investigation.

 

Evacuation Information

All evacuations for Harney and Grant Counties have been lifted as of 8/20/2024.

Operations Update (video)

Fire behavior has moderated and primarily is driven by weather conditions with mixed hardwood-conifer timber at lower elevations. Upper elevations are dominated by light brush and litter under a conifer overstory. The northern edge of the fire has burned into the footprint of 2022’s Ammon Fire where reduced fuel loads have led to reduced fire activity.

Early on, the fire grew rapidly and prompted evacuations as well as the use of significant air resources. Because the fire is burning on both state and federal lands, two incident management teams were called in to share in suppression efforts, one federal team and one CAL FIRE team. As of 8/15/2024, Hill Fire is 100% contained and now managed by local staff from the Lower Trinity Ranger District.

The Lone Rock Fire began July 13, 2024, and is currently being managed under a full suppression strategy. Local ranchers and landowners along with local Rural Fire Protection Districts initially responded to the wildfire protecting structures and private property. Multiple Incident Management Teams have been working to contain the fire, protect structures, and other values at risk. 

Firefighters continue to work on building containment lines and have begun mop-up operations in some locations of the fire. The fire footprint is within the following counties: Gilliam, Wheeler, Morrow and Grant. Hot, dry and windy weather initially hampered firefighter's ability to contain and control this wildfire as it grew to more than 130,000 acres. Wetter conditions allowed firefighters to gain containment and secured the northern end of the fire. Many structures were saved during this wildfire, though unfortunately some were lost.

Crews stayed on the fire overnight but weeks of extreme temperatures, record dry conditions, and dangerous terrain with no road access hampered initial response efforts.  

Natural features on the north and south are being used to limit fire spread on the Easy Fire. Fire managers are using a combination of ground crews to put in containment lines where possible and air resources to cool off hotspots with water. Steep drainages and ridgelines limit the ability of ground crews to access the fire directly and air tanker pilots to safely fly the fire area. Recent weather has elevated fuel moisture content and reduced the intensity of what active fire remains. Incident management will continue to monitor the fire to ensure that any heat stays within the current fire footprint.

The Miners Ridge lookout reported several potential wildfires on the evening of July 17th following a large dry lightning storm that moved through the Pacific Northwest. In total, nearly 1,000 lighting strikes hit Oregon and Washington in the period between July 17th and 18th, 2024. Fire managers began reconnaissance flights to determine the severity of the lightning storm including three new potential wildfire starts reported on July 18th. Smokejumpers were ordered and began immediate work on one of the numerous fires. Additional new lightning starts may continue to be found as winds and record-breaking dry timber fuel fire growth.  

The Miners Complex consists of eight wildfires caused by lightning strikes in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The fires included in the complex are Miners Fire, Vista Ridge Fire, Dolly Creek Fire, Sulphur Three Fire, Sulphur Four Fire, Sulphur Thirty-Four Fire, Plummer, and Middle Ridge Fire.

The Telephone Fire started on July 22, 2024, approximately 15 miles north of Burns, Oregon, in the King Mountain area on the Emigrant Creek Ranger District of the Malheur National Forest. The Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, and Oregon State Fire Marshal are working in partnership with fire managers. A full-suppression strategy is being used for the fire, while insuring to minimize risks to responders and the public. 

Initial attack resources attempted direct tactics early on but were challenged by the terrain and accessibility to the eastern side of the fire. Full suppression efforts are being implemented utilizing a combination of direct, indirect, and point protection where the highest probability of success can be safely achieved. 

 

Evacuation Information

All evacuations for Harney and Grant Counties have been lifted as of 8/20/2024.

 

Closures

The Malheur National Forest has a closure order in place. To protect public health and safety, fire managers have closed the area around the fire due to fire activity and fire suppression operations.

FOREST ORDERS / RESTRICTIONS: No open fires, campfires or charcoal fires will be permitted outside of developed recreation sites or designated Campfire Use Sites, even with a valid California Campfire Permit. Lanterns and portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel will be permitted, but only with a valid California Campfire Permit, which can be obtained free-of-charge at this website. Forest visitors must clear all flammable material for five feet in all directions from their camp stove, have a shovel available, and ensure that a responsible person always attends the stove during use.

ABOUT THE FOREST: Encompassing almost two million acres, Los Padres National Forest spans some of the most ruggedly beautiful landscapes to be found anywhere in California.  Los Padres National Forest has ten designated wilderness areas comprising 875,000 acres.  

Ecosystems in Los Padres National Forest range from semi-desert in interior areas to redwood forest on the coast. Forest vegetation is classified into two major types: chaparral (68%) and forested lands (30%). Forested land includes mixed evergreen forests, oak woodland, pinyon-juniper woodland, and conifer forest. Management of chaparral vegetation consists essentially of prescribed burning and wildfire suppression. Forested lands are managed primarily to maintain health and vigor.

The Limepoint Fire is 100% contained.  The Oxbow and Cliff Mountain Fires were managed as a part of the Limepoint fire.  All three of these fires are 100% contained with no threat of continued fire spread.  Until the snow covers the interior area of these fires there is a chance that isolated hotspots may flair up.  Fire managers are monitoring for these hotspots and will, as necessary send firefighting resources to suppress hotspots if necessary.

Burned Area Emergency Recover (BAER) work continues to take place in areas of the fires that need work done to prevent sediment runoff into stream.  BAER work centers on emergency measures that may need to be taken to stabilize the fire area before winter comes, and potential work that may need to be done over several months with a focus on prevention on erosion due to vegetation having been burned off the landscape.  A fire intensity map has been developed and shows that approximately 7% of the total burned area burned with high fire intensity - these are the areas where BAER work is focused on.

The fire closure for the entirety of the Limepoint Fire has been rescinded.  There are no closures in relation to this fire.  Please note that the fire closure for the Lava Fire remains in effect on the east side of the council Ranger district in the Indian Valley area.

Be safe while in a burned area. A burned landscape presents a number of safety hazards that either did not exist prior to the fire or have been exacerbated by the effects of the fire. In some cases, these hazardous conditions may persist for several years after a fire. Be very aware of your surroundings, follow warning signs and directions from agency personnel, and pay particular attention to these potential safety hazards:

*Abandoned hunter warming fires are being found across the landscape with another one reported just yesterday.  These human-caused fires require our firefighting resources to respond and takes them away from work being done within the Limepoint Fire area.

The lightning caused fire was discovered on July 24, 2024 at approximately 8pm The fire was burning in grass and brush approximately 15 miles northwest of Congress.

FINAL Update 7/31 at 1pm:  The fire is now 100% contained and the remaining resources have been made available for new fires.

Update 7/29 at 7pm:  This will be the final update unless significant activity occurs.  The fire remained at 3,059 acres today while containment was increased to 50% due to the hard work of crews that secured and mopped up along the fire's edge.  Minimal heat and smoke were observed, and no use of aircraft was required today.  Tomorrow, the incident will transition to a type 4 organization and release many of its resources to be available for initial attack.  

Update 7/28 at 8pm:  Fire is estimated at 3,059 acres with 35% containment.  Today, crews constructed direct fireline and utilized helicopter bucket drops and retardant drops from SEATs after fire activity increased on the North and West sides of the fire.  The two dozers worked to construct contingency lines on the North and South sides of the fire to connect the fireline to an existing road.  The dozers also constructed a helispot that can be utilized for helicopters conducting recon and mapping flights.

Update 7/27 at 9pm: Yesterday, the fire activity was minimal with light smoke near the ridge line. This activity was well away from the containment lines and posed no threat for further spread. A morning recon flight took place and crews worked most of the day to secure the fireline on the east and south sides. Firefighters worked to scout out future containment lines for the western portion of the fire.

Today, crews continued to secure the fireline and activity picked up in the late afternoon due to weather. A helicopter was utilized for water bucket drops to cool hot spots on the western edge. With weather becoming more conduce to active fire behavior, air attack and two SEATs with retardant were ordered to assist ground resources in slowing the fire spread. At this time, the fire is estimated at 2,954 acres and 10% containment.

Update 7/26 at 7am: Fire is estimated at 1,618 with 0% containment.  A recon flight has been ordered for this morning to map the fire area.  Crews were on the fire late into the evening yesterday, completing firing operations and securing the fireline. Firefighters have been briefed on today’s plan and are heading to the fireline. An additional crew and two dozers will join the Type 3 Organization today in suppression efforts. Aircraft remain available to assist and a TFR is in place.

Update 7/25 at 9pm: Fire estimated at 1,618 acres and crews are continuing with firing operations to secure fireline.

Update 7/25 at 5:30pm: Fire is estimated at 300 acres with 0% containment.

Crews assigned to the fire include engines, handcrews, a water tender, and miscellaneous overhead. The crews are working on full supression with multiple firing operations taking place to prevent the fire from crossing various roads.  Thunderstorms in the area are producing erratic, outflow winds that have changed the wind direction multiple times. Aircraft was over the fire in the morning with an original estimate of 17 acres. Multiple retardant drops were made with SEATs but were ineffective due to winds.  Aircraft was available in the afternoon due to weather.

A burned landscape presents several safety hazards that either did not exist prior to the fire or have been exacerbated by the effects of the fire. These hazards include unstable soils that allow rocks to dislodge and roll down steep hillsides; fire-weakened trees and snags that can fall over or large limbs breaking away in windy conditions; and stump holes where fire has burned through a tree root system and created cavities that can collapse under your feet. Always remember to be aware of your surroundings and aware of the hazards in a burned area.  We are asking recreationists and hunters to please stay out of the fire area for firefighter and public safety.

The Currant Creek Fire is located approximately 5 miles east/northeast of Cedaredge, CO near Redlands Mesa in the upper Currant Creek drainage. It was first reported on July 27th at 2 PM, at which time it was growing rapidly and aggressively. By the time local VFD resources arrived on scene, it was approximately 80 acres in size, consuming juniper, sage, oak brush, and grasses. Shortly after resources arrived, a localized thunderstorm dropped heavy rain and hail over the fire area. The precipitation reduced fire behavior and allowed firefighters to engage the fire more directly. Aerial resources arrived on scene by 4:30 PM, dropping water and retardant. The CO MMA estimated the size of the fire at 182 acres at around 7:30 PM.

 

This fire was declared contained by fire managers on Saturday, Aug 3, 2024 at approximately 5:00 p.m. Command was transferred to Type 4 local agency personnel for continued monitoring and suppression repair. There will be no further updates to this incident unless a change in conditions warrants the release of additional information.

The Pentagon Fire is not currently impacting the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) but is located near a popular alternative CDT route along trail 83 (Spotted Bear River trail) north of Spotted Bear Pass and trail 173 (Pentagon Creek trail) toward Switchback Pass. A closure order may be issued if conditions change and fire activity increases.

A recon flight on August 3, 2024 confirmed reported observations of a fire on the south side of Spotted Bear River between Lime Creek and Wall Creek. The fire is currently estimated at 62 acres, burning in steep, rocky, and rugged terrain approximately 0.5 miles south of the Pentagon Cabin Administrative Site. Both Spotted Bear and Beartop Lookouts reported visible smoke late on August 2, enabling detection and triangulation of the fire. The fire was started by lightning from a dry thunderstorm on July 24 and while multiple detection flights have flown the area, fire activity was not visible until August 2. 

Fire managers have developed a strategy with the highest probability of success to manage this fire. They have based their strategy on protecting critical values at risk and prioritizing the safety of the public and responders, while preserving landscape characteristics in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

At 8 p.m. PST on Sept. 11, a local type 4 team took command of the Sandstone Fire. See the Mt. Hood National Forest website and Facebook page for future information on this fire.

The Sandstone Fire ignited from a lightning strike on Monday, August 5, after a lightning storm event. The fire is located on the south side of Thunder Mountain several miles north of Forest Road 70 on the Clackamas River Ranger District and 9 miles southwest of Ripplebrook OR, on the Mt. Hood National Forest.

At 6 a.m. on August 17, Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 took command of the fire, which also includes the Blister Creek Fire. The fire is currently burning in the 2006 Blister Fire burn scar, where there is dead and down fuel and remote, steep, rugged terrain. 

While much of the fire area is remote, if the fire were to spread significantly, it could affect nearby population centers in Clackamas County. Fire managers are using a full-suppression strategy to protect private property, public infrastructure, and natural and recreation resources while minimizing risks to responders and the public.  Firefighters continue to establish firelines and hose lays, working in conjunction with water-dropping aircraft.

The Mt. Hood National Forest has a closure order in place for the area around the Sandstone Fire. Closed trails include Skookum Lake Trail (#542) and Thunder Mountain Trail (#543). Closed Recreation Sites within the Closure Area include Kingfisher Campground and Pegleg Falls. Please see the 'Closures' tab for more information.

Current Status as of Sept. 30 - The Northwest Corner of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire has been active since Sept. 26. There is no impact to the Salmon River Corridor. Lookout observers are updating BNF West Fork District officials.

The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team started assessments to address the immediate risks to human life and safety, Forest Service property, and critical natural and cultural resources in the post-fire environment.

------------------

Current Status as of Sept. 18: The Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Fires have received enough precipitation combined with cooler temperatures to slow any perimeter growth. There is interior smoldering. These fires are not currently posing a threat to values. Firefighters are demobilizing equipment off of these fires. 

Current Status as of Sept. 12: The Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Fires located in the West Fork Ranger District of the Bitterroot National Forest, is 16 miles southwest of Alta in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness and on the Salmon River (lightning caused). 

Because of the fire's proximity, information is posted on both fires. 

Elkhorn Ridge is currently 3,125 acres and Prospect is 2,934 acres.

 

Current Status as of Sept. 9: The fire is exhibiting minimal fire activity. There are no updates at this time. 

Current Status as of Sept. 6: No new changes to report.

Elkhorn Ridge is at 3,125 acres and Prospect is at 2,934 acres.

Current Status as of Sept. 3: There has been little growth on the Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Fires. More info to come.

Current Status as of Sept. 2: The Elkhorn Ridge Fire is currently at 3,125 acres and the Prospect Fire is at 2,934 acres.  Both fires only grew a few acres in the last couple of days.  The Elkhorn Ridge growth was in the interior of the total perimeter.  Prospect grew on the northwest side of the fire.  Minimal fire activity was observed.  Personnel continue to track fire growth and are ready to protect values at risk.

Status as of Aug. 26: After an Infrared flight, the Elkhorn Ridge was sized up to be at 3,047 acres and the Prospect Fire at 2,236 acres.

Current Status as of Aug. 22: The Prospect Fire, west of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire is seeing fire activity moving to the west. These fires are being closely monitored and point protection has already been done on the cabins along the Salmon River. More information to come.

Current Status as of Aug. 21: The Prospect Fire, west of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire, continued to burn between Smith Gulch and Harrington Creek along the Salmon River.  It also continues to burn to the west near Corey Bar.  Protection efforts were successful at River of No Return Lodge and Blackie Foster Cabin yesterday.  The suppression module continues to monitor River of No Return Lodge and Blackie Foster Cabin as the fire around it burns out.  They are mopping up (extinguishing and removing burning material) as needed. The Elkhorn Ridge Fire is burning up drainage on the west side of Dwyer Creek.  The suppression module is ready to take point protection action (protecting specific assets or highly valued resources, such as buildings, from the wildfire) at Lantz Bar if needed.

Current Status as of Aug. 20: After an Infrared reconnaissance flight last night, Elkhorn Ridge was measured at 3,037 acres and the Prospect Fire, to the northwest of Elkhorn, was measured at 1,100 acres. The fires haven't received a lot of precipitation over the last couple of days, however, cooler temperatures and higher humidity decreased fire intensity yesterday.  Fire intensity and spread may increase today with another chance of rain showers forecasted for tomorrow. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Current Status as of Aug. 19: The Elkhorn Fire has filled in down to the river to the mouth of Dwyer Creek. The Prospect Fire (now at 791 acres) has burned down to the river between Harrington Creek and Smith Gulch. The Prospect Fire also crossed Smith Gulch farther up drainage.  It has crested the ridge and is backing down towards Cory Bar.  Firefighters secured the River of No Return Lodge and Blackie Foster Cabin overnight.  Personnel will continue those efforts as the fire backs down on the west side of Smith Gulch.  Restrictions for campers and boaters are listed below. 

Current Status as of Aug. 16, 2024: The Elkhorn Ridge Fire received light rain yesterday and therefore the fire had minimal growth with light fire activity in the Dwyer Creek area. 

Current Status as of Aug. 15, 2024: There has been no significant fire growth in the last 24 hours.  There was very little smoke in the river corridor this morning.

Current Status as of Aug. 14, 2024:

The fire is approximately 2,050 acres in size and has backed away from the Salmon River. Rain has decreased fire behavior on the #ElkhornRidgeFire located 16 miles SW of Alta in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness. Firefighters reported this morning that there is minimal smoke along the Salmon River. Significant fire behavior isn't expected to pick up until after this week when drier conditions are forecasted.

Crews are maintaining point protection equipment and monitoring the Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Ridge Fires by jet boat and lookout positions along the river.

General Wildfire Information:

Wildfires play an important role in shaping the landscape along the river corridor.  They may also alter your itinerary while on the river. 

What you need to know to be prepared during fire season. 

 

Current Status as of Aug. 13, 2024:

#ElkhornRidgeFire on the West Fork Ranger District is located 16 miles SW of Alta in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness (lightning caused) and is estimated at 2,482 acres in size. Since last night, the fire has exhibited minimal activity based off imagery from an Infrared (IR) reconnaissance flight. The area received rain over the past few days which helped cool the fire off.

Another fire called #ProspectRidgeFire was detected 1.10 miles west of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire. It is estimated to be at 200 acres. This fire was showing moderate activity. Because of the fire's proximity to the Elkhorn Ridge Fire, the two fires may grow together. This fire will also have a point protection strategy.

Resources actively working these fires:

- Firefighters put structure protection in place for Lantz Bar and Blackie Foster/River of No Return Lodge.

- Crews are working to put structure protection in place for Arctic Lodge today.

- Personnel will be traveling the river to assess river camps.

- Another reconnaissance flight is scheduled today to get an update on fire perimeter and size.

 

Status Aug. 12: 

The fire did not grow significantly last night and continues to move to the north, east and west but the fire has not crossed the Salmon River to the south. The fire is showing minimal activity near the river’s edge and is primarily growing to the north, away from the river. The western edge of the fire has moved onto Thirsty Ridge and the eastern edge is packing down into Dwyer Creek. Structure protection is in place for Lantz Bar, and Blacky Forest Cabin/River of No Return Lodge. Another request is in for a mapping flight to place tonight. Today, firefighters will set up structure protection at Artic Creek Lodge located in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Future updates on the fire size and perimeter will be provided as resources are available.

The Town Gulch Fire ignited due to lightning and was observed and reported on Monday, August 5 at 9:27 AM PDT along Eagle Creek about eight miles NNW of Richland. Steep terrain and cliffs remain a threat to crews operating inside the fire perimeter. Winding canyon roads pose a hazard for crews traveling near the incident.

Town Gulch is being managed as a full suppression incident. Firefighters, the public and other incident responders' safety remain the top priority; followed by protection of structures, community assets and private property.

A slight decrease in acreage of the fire is due to more accurate mapping.

This Inciweb page is intended to provide a summary of wildfire incidents taking place in the Payette National Forest's part of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  Specific fires that are of large size or are threatening value at risk will have individual Inciweb pages in addition to this summary page - links to those individual Inciweb pages are provided below.

There is a misconception that all wildfires within a wilderness area are what some people term as \"let burn\" fires.  The Forest Service does not have a policy termed as \"let burn,\" and in fact all wildfires whether within a wilderness or outside a wilderness are evaluated by looking at the values at risk, burning indices, and firefighter and public safety to determine the specific strategies that will be taken on every wildfire.

A Forest may utilize all the wildfire tools available when taking actions for an unplanned ignition whether lightning caused, or human caused – there is no one right answer nor requirement for every wildfire to be addressed in a given way as every fire is different and needs to be addressed based on the characteristic of that fire and the values at risk.  We use all available tools and technologies to ensure proactive fire detection, risk assessments, fire response, and post-fire recovery. Every wildfire receives a risk-informed response with effective strategies at the local level.

Standard wildfire strategies are Suppression, Containment/Confinement, Zone-Point Protection and Monitor.  Any combination of these strategies can be and typically are use on every wildfire incident whether within or outside a wilderness area.

Our goal for managing wildfire in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness is: 

The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Incident Management Operating Plan outlines processes and procedures for addressing wildfire is the Wilderness.

The Forest Service Manual and the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Management Plan directs us to “Conduct all fire management activities within wilderness in a manner compatible with overall wilderness management objectives.” We strive to use tactics and equipment that causes the least disturbance to wilderness landscapes and visitor solitude and locate fire camps, heli-spots, and other temporary facilities or improvements outside of the wilderness, whenever feasible. We rehabilitate disturbed areas within wilderness to as natural an appearance as possible.

Active Wildfires within the Payette’s part of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area.

McCall Ranger District

The Fang and Frangelica Fires have been declared as OUT.

Krassel Ranger District

Monumental Fire – 7 acres, detected evening of August 6.  Located approximately 6 miles to the NE of the Stibnite Mining District and under a full suppression strategy. Controlled and declared out. 

These two fires remain active with the Wilderness.

Parks Fire – The fire is at 5,978 acres and located on the west side of lower Chamberlain Creek down to the Salmon River, and up to Mule Creek Point ridge, then southwest into Mule Creek and into Queens Creek.  The cold front that brought strong gusty winds to the area on October 4th fanned the flames on the Parks Fire on the southwest flank into Queens Creek and up to the ridge above McCalla Creek.  There is scattered heat on the north flank along the Mule Creek ridge.  There is currently low to moderate fire activity taking place on the southwest flank of the fire.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  The Chamberlain bridge structure protection measures have been removed and several firefighters hiked into Artic Point Lookout to unwrap the structure and all is well at the site.  No damage was done to the bridge or the lookout facility.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  This fire is using a Zone/Point protection strategy while allowing this lightning caused to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness.

Farrow Fire – The fire is at 3,084 acres.  The fire was detected on August 5th and caused by lightning.  Initially located approximately 5.5 miles east-southeast of Cold Meadows Guard Station.  The cold front that passed over the fire area on October 4th fanned the flames of the Farrow fire with fire spread to the southwest down towards the South Fork of Cottonwood Creek sand into the upper drainage of Iodine Creek.  Scattered heat remains throughout the rest of the fire area. This the fire 2.5 miles from Cold Meadows Guard Station a fire crew is being sent in with structure protection equipment to address values at risk at Cold Meadows.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  This lightning caused fire is being permitted to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness. Zone/Point Protection measures will be taken if necessary and is being monitored by air.

These fires have shown no activity over the last two week but have not been declared out.

Cotton Fire - 104 acres – detected on September 9.  Located approximately 5 miles south, southeast from Cold Meadows Guard Station.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire.

Copper Fire – 2,129 acres and was detected on September 2.  Located approximately 10 miles east of Edwardsburg and 1 mile west of Routon Peak in the Monumental Creek drainage.  The fire has crossed Monumental Creek and is approximately 1.5 miles from Monumental Ranch, but this is not furthering the risk to the ranch.  Ranch operations are continuing to take place by the owner.  Structure protection equipment has been left in place as a protective measure regarding the Logan Fire.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire. 

Coxie Hole Fire – 194 acres.  Detected September 2.  Located approximately 14 miles east of Edwardsburg and just south of Big Creek.  Most of the fire looks to be burned out.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire.

Quartz Fire – 2 acres.  Located on the Krassel Ranger District in upper Fivemile Creek approximately 2.5 miles west, southwest of Sheepeater Lookout.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire.  Nearest value at risk is three air miles away at Fivemile Bar along the Salmon River.

Burnt Creek – The fire is at 2,665 acres as of September 9. It was detected on August 13 and is located in Burnt Creek within the Big Creek drainage. The fire burned to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. No fire activity has been taking place for over a month.  Personal flew into Taylor Ranch to remove and backhaul structure protection equipment, then hike the trail from the Middle Fork up Big Creek to remove fire warning signs.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  A Zone/Point Protection Strategy is being used on this fire and a structure protection plan for values at risk in the area has been implemented.

The Willamette Complex North is located northeast of Blue River and southeast of Oak Ridge. The Complex consists of the Boulder Creek, Linton Creek, and 347 Fires that were reported on July 28, 2024, and the Ore Fire that was reported on July 17, 2024. The Pyramid Fire was transitioned to a Type 4 organization with the Willamette National Forest. 

The three fires in the complex were started by lightning, while the Ore Fire was human-caused. The fires are burning adjacent to old fire scars in fuels that are composed of heavy timber stingers, wet meadows, and rocky areas. The fires are also burning in a mix of conifer timber litter and timber with understory. Large snags and heavy downed fuel loadings are common.

The Farrow Fire is at 3,637 acres as of October 15th.  This page will be updated as information becomes available or as warranted.

The fire was detected on August 5th and caused by lightning.  Initially located approximately 5.5 miles east-southeast of Cold Meadows Guard Station.  The cold front that passed over the fire area on October 4th fanned the flames of the Farrow fire with fire spread to the southwest down towards the South Fork of Cottonwood Creek sand into the upper drainage of Iodine Creek.  Since that fire spread, the fire has only been slowly spreading with low burn intensity, and no expected growth potential.  A weather system over the fire area this weekend is expected to further limit the fires potential.

The fire 2.5 miles from Cold Meadows Guard Station and all structure protection equipment has been removed from the guard station.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  This lightning caused fire is being permitted to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness. Zone/Point Protection measures will be taken if necessary and is being monitored by air.

Given our success with firefighting operations on the Ratio Mountain Fire, fire managers are reporting progress in terms of  % completion of operational objectives.  

Firefighters have successfully achieved 90% completion of operational objectives on the Ratio Mountain Fire. As a measure of progress, percent completion of objectives more accurately captures and reports the specific amount of work accomplished on the ground to manage fire spread and reduce the negative impacts to identified critical values at risk.

Crew have completed firing operations along previously constructed firelines along the eastern flank of the fire, extending from the fire footprint from the State Creek fire on the north and along Hay Canyon Road to its junction with Lower Whitetail Road in the southeast corner. The objectives to keep the fire west and north of these lines, accomplishing a full suppression strategy on this section (accounting for 60% of the perimeter) are 100% complete. 

The objective on the southern flank (accounting for 10% of the perimeter), near identified critical values at risk on private land below the St. Anthony mine site, is to implement structure protection measures. All the structure prep work is 100% complete, and the objective to strategically guide fire around the structure is also 100% complete. Collectively, the point protection objective is 100% complete.

The west and northwest portions of the fire are in remote, rugged terrain with little to no access for firefighting resources. These areas pose challenges in responding to potential medical emergencies, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of firefighters and other responders. Located four miles from the nearest identified critical value at risk, this section of the fire (accounting for 30% of the perimeter) will be monitored until significant weather results in a fire season-ending event.

As of Oct. 16 - Sharrott Creek Fire Update: 

There has been minimal growth on the Sharrott Creek Fire. There are 10 firefighters committed to this fire. Burning is occurring in the southwest corner of the fire. 

Weather for Oct.: Source DEQ Montana

A cool front marches across the Treasure State Oct. 16, scouring out much of the smoke trapped in the valleys of Southwest Montana. It will also produce some beneficial rain and mountain snow for much of the state.

Oct. 16 is the transition day to more typical mid-October weather as a cool front moves across the state. The front will be accompanied by some much-needed precipitation. For much of the area, it’s been nearly 3 weeks without measurable precipitation. The lack of precipitation and unseasonably warm air has allowed numerous regional wildfires to experience tremendous growth. The front and corresponding area of low pressure will bring snow levels down to 4,000 feet and the passes could receive a few slushy inches of snow. Expect smoke production on area wildfires to decrease significantly behind the system.

Precipitation will linger Oct. 17, with the greatest rain and snow totals focused on the higher terrain of Northwest Montana and along the spine of the Bitterroot Mountains. Temperatures will plummet on Oct. 17 as highs will hover in the 40s and low 50s.

The system departs early Friday as the precipitation gradually comes to an end. The precipitation should help moderate fire activity across Idaho and Montana, greatly reducing surface smoke concentrations. A transient ridge of high pressure develops over the weekend. It will provide slightly warmer temperatures and abundant sunshine.

- More information will be posted as it becomes available.

 

As of Sept. 30 -- The Bitterroot National Forest Service, Stevensville Ranger District, assumed command of the Sharrott Creek Fire Sept. 20. This fire has transitioned into a Type 4 team. 

This fire is still active due to warmer and drier weather. Smoke is visible from the west side of the Sharrott Creek Fire along the wilderness boundary. Moisture in fuels is drying out and unburned pockets of fuel are becoming receptive again. 25 people remain committed to the incident completing suppression repair on private property and continuing to ensure any unburned pockets of fuel will not threaten values at risk as the fire moves west. Fire activity currently poses no threat to existing containment lines.

-- Road, trail, and area closures remain in effect for the the St. Mary's Face (Road 1319 and 739) and the St. Mary's Trail (Trail 116). Please refer to the reduced Sharrott Creek Fire Closure map that's posted.

-- Big Creek and Kootenai Creek Trails are open.

The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team started assessments to address the immediate risks to human life and safety, Forest Service property, and critical natural and cultural resources in the post-fire environment.

The Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 5, Incident Commander Joe Sampson, assumed command of the fire at 6:00 AM on Monday, September 9, 2024. 

The fire was started by lightning and grew quickly during a wind event on August 23. 

The primary values at risk are the private properties along the edge of the Bitterroot National Forest on the east side of the fire. This is where firefighting resources have been focused. The western portion of the fire is burning in remote, rugged terrain with little to no access for firefighting resources. West of the fire lies the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.

The West Fire is a lightning-caused wildfire that is burning four miles northeast of Pine, Arizona. The fire is being managed under a confine and contain strategy with the goal of protecting private lands and the communities of Camp Geronimo, Geronimo Estates, Bray Creek Ranch and Pine while reintroducing fire into a fire dependent ecosystem. The intended result is to reduce hazardous fuels, improve watershed conditions and wildlife habitat. This will decrease accumulations of fuels and the potential for future fires to burn with high severity that may be more difficult to suppress. The West Fire is being managed with the Preacher Fire under a local fire management organization led by Incident Commander Tadd Fagerud.

The Preacher Fire is a lightning-caused wildfire that is burning four miles northeast of Pine, Arizona. The fire is being managed under a confine and contain strategy with the goal of protecting private lands and the communities of Tonto Village, Thompson Draw, Diamond Point Summer Homes, and Diamond Point Estates while reintroducing fire into a fire dependent ecosystem. The intended result is to reduce hazardous fuels, improve watershed conditions and wildlife habitat. This will decrease accumulations of fuels and the potential for future fires to burn with high severity that may be more difficult to suppress. The fire is being managed with the West Fire by the Tonto National Forest under Incident Commander, Tadd Fagerud.

The fire is now 100% contained. After September 24, 2024, please contact the Tonto National Forest for information about the Preacher Fire.

Both fires have been active with recent weather conditions and have a combined size of approximately 3,673 acres. 

This incident is using completion metrics as opposed to containment. Completion is calculated based on the amount of work that needs to be done and has been completed to safely manage the fire. Completion is used when fires are managed under fire suppression strategies like Confinement and Point Protection.

Containment is used when full suppression tactics are utilized and fire fighters are working to directly on the fire line. Containment refers to the amount of fires edge that is 'cold' and is no longer threatening forward progression in that area.

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 INFORMATION:

October 23 Update:

Improved weather conditions, primarily a significant reduction in winds, have enabled firefighters and aircraft to make progress at limiting the Bridge Fire's spread and securing the fire in its current footprint. Extensive aerial delivery of fire retardant in the last 48 hours has contributed to this progress. 

If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it. Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time. 

FOREST CLOSURE ORDERS: The Angeles National Forest has issued a Bridge Fire Area Closure Order from October 18, 2024, through December 31, 2025. This closure order covers only National Forest System roads, trails, and other facilities impacted by the Bridge Fire within the Angeles National Forest. This order replaces the previous closure order that started on September 21, 2024, through December 31, 2025.

POST-FIRE RESOURCES FOR NEARBY RESIDENTS:
Damage inspection teams completed their inspections. Residents affected by the Bridge Fire can find information on the following websites:
For San Bernardino County: prepare.sbcounty.gov/bridge-fire/ 
For Los Angeles County: recovery.lacounty.gov/bridgefire/

For emergency alerts, please register here:  


ROAD CLOSURES: 


Additional closures may still be in place on roads managed and maintained by other agencies inside the forest. Most major roads in the Angeles National Forest are not managed or maintained by the Forest Service. We recommend also checking Caltrans (https://roads.dot.ca.gov/), the Los Angeles County Road Closures list (https://dpw.lacounty.gov/roadclosures/) and the San Bernardino County Road Conditions (https://dpw.sbcounty.gov/operations/road-closures/) list for updates.  


EFFECTS OF THE BRIDGE FIRE ON THE ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST:

A team of specialists (called a Burned Area Emergency Response Team) came to study the effects of the Bridge Fire on Angeles National Forest lands. Information has just been released about their findings. Learn more.


IF YOU FLY, WE CAN’T!  

Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. A FAA Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect and any private aircraft or drone that violates the TFR could face serious criminal charges. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at www.KnowBeforeYouFly.org.


BACKGROUND: 

On Sunday, Sept. 8, at 2:40 p.m., Angeles National Forest firefighters responded to a reported wildfire in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in the East Fork area by Cattle Canyon Bridge along Camp Bonita Road. 

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the incident was lowered to a Type 4 incident. This means complexity and needs of this incident are going down. However, unburned pockets of fuel (grasses, brush, trees, etc.) within the perimeter of the burned area of the Bridge Fire may flare up and smoke/flames could be visible.

Weather:  Last week the Logan Fire area received about 0.5 inches of rain with a trace of snow across the fire area.  This weather event helped to slow and moderate fire spread to a point that the fire is now being managed as a Type 4 Incident with a focus on fire line suppression repair in the Edwardsburg area.  There is very limited potential for additional fire growth and only in the northeastern and east flanks of the fire.  Another weather system is expected to provide moisture to the fire over this coming weekend that will further reduce the potential for fire spread and the need for fire suppression activities.

Current Situation:   A hand crew and one engine remain assigned to the fire with a focus on fire line suppression repair and patrolling for potential hotspots and removing fallen trees on the roadways in the Edwardsburg area.  Chipping and burning of piles of woody materials continues to take place.

Evacuations:  Valley County Sheriff's Office has lifted the evacuation level and opened the county roads - the Warren-Profile Gap Road (referred to locally as the Big Creek Road and the Elk Summitt Road) are open.  If traveling the roadways use caution and watch for rolling debris and fallen trees throughout the burned area.

Closures:  The Logan Fire has a Forest Service road and trail closure in effect - these are only for Forest Service roads and trails. The map and description are located at  https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/payette/alerts-notices.

The Buck Creek Fire started in heavy timber within the Yamsay Mountain Semi-Primitive Area on the Fremont-Winema National Forest, about 13 miles southwest of Silver Lake, Ore. The fire spread north and east into managed timber stands with brush and grass understory and is now about 11 miles from the community of Silver Lake. The fire has burned 5,758 acres and 98% contained.

Smoke from burning fuels well inside the secure containment lines will be visible from surrounding areas, but fire managers remain confident fire will not reach secured containment lines at this time. An aerial reconnaissance flew several laps over the fire yesterday afternoon and no smoke or burning debris was seen outside of the containment lines.

On Friday at 6:00 a.m., command of the incident will transition to the local unit from the Fremont-Winema National Forest. A dedicated group of fire managers will continue to monitor and patrol the fire area once the incident management team demobilizes. For Fire information on the Buck Creek Fire, contact the Silver Lake Ranger District at: (541) 576-2107.

In coordination with fire managers, the Lake County Sheriff has established evacuations for the Buck Creek Fire. Go to https://www.fs.usda.gov/fremont-winema for details about evacuation levels.

CURRENT SITUATION:  We have now reached 100% containment on the Peak Fire. Firefighters are transitioning into suppression repair, while remaining diligent on patrol looking for any hot spots. Crews will continue mopping up on the interior of the burned area, adding water on any smoldering stump holes, and down trees whenever it is safe to do so.  Weakened trees and snags continue to be a concern for firefighter safety. We greatly appreciate the public’s help and understanding by abiding by the Forest Order Closure.

On October 11th the Forest Order went into effect restricting access into the Herring Creek, Hammill Canyon Loop. Active fire and hazardous standing trees, and their proximity to roads and trails are clear indicators that the fire area is dangerous. Our number one priority is for firefighter and public safety. 

FIRE RESTRICTIONS: Forest Order No. STF-16-2024-11, Stanislaus National Forest, Peak Fire Closure. This Order is effective from October 11, 2024, through December 5, 2024, within the National Forest System lands, roads, and trails. The Order is necessary to ensure that firefighting efforts continue unimpeded and to protect the public from the hazards associated with actively burning fire behavior, or until replaced or rescinded.

Summary: 

The Elkhorn Fire started on October 5, 2024, approximately 8 miles south and 5 miles east of Watford City, ND. The fire rapidly spread in a south easterly direction driven by strong northwest winds. Local, state, and federal, resources responded to the incident. Because of the strong winds and rugged badlands terrain, suppression efforts were difficult. The fire has burned approximately 10,000 acres in a mix of private, state, and federal land. 

This is a full suppression fire. Local, state, and federal resources are working together to meet suppression objectives.

WEATHER DISCUSSION: General westerly flow aloft will continue over the area with upper level ridging
to the south beginning to strengthen this afternoon & evening. Winds will be mainly terrain driven today
with N to NE down-canyon breezes through late morning and up-canyon S-SW winds this afternoon
through early evening. Temps will warm into the mid-70s with Min RHs 25-30%. The N to NE down
canyon winds will redevelop tonight with a drier air mass settling over slopes and ridges and returning
poor overnight RH recoveries to the fire area.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Currently the Shoe Fire is at 5,127 acres with 45% containment.  Resources assigned include 10 helicopters, 29 crews, 56 engines, 18 bulldozers, 21 water tenders, 16 masticator, 1 feller-buncher and 1 excavator.   Crews continue to make significant improvement with securing control lines.  

Firefighters are actively engaged in reinforcing containment lines, with an emphasis on advancing further into the interior to effectively extinguish any residual heat detected by infrared systems. Reports indicate that heat persists in the northern section of the fire, primarily along Beartrap and Bills Creeks. A mobile retardant base remains operational in Big Bend, which will continue to be utilized by aircraft as they prioritize support for divisions involved in suppression efforts. As ground crews proceed with their mop-up operations, sawyer teams will also focus on the removal of hazardous trees to ensure that all factors contributing to the fire's heat are fully suppressed or mitigated. Minimal smoke impact to local communities is forecasted. Planned prescribed burns by Cal Fire in the vicinity of Igo and Red Bluff may contribute additional smoke into the area.

UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) took flight alongside crews to complete a firing operation that was instrumental in completing line around the Shoe Fire....  but what is a UAS you ask?

A UAS, or Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is the totality of everything that makes a Drone work including its GPS module, ground control module, transmission systems, camera, all the software, attached devices (specialty cameras, firing devices, etc.) and the person on the ground controlling the drone. To put it simply, a drone, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is simply a component of a Unmanned Aerial System.

PSD’s – or Plastic Spherical Dispenser are a specialized device that releases plastic ping-pong balls filled with potassium permanganate.  The device then injects the balls with glycol which causes the ball to ignite within 20 to 40 seconds, depending on temperature and relative humidities.  PSD’s can be used from helicopters or Drones

FOREST CLOSURE ORDER:  The Shasta-Trinity National Forest has issued an Emergency Forest Closure Order for lands surrounding the Shoe Fire.  This Forest Order is effective immediately, and can be adjusted as the fire progresses.  See the details by clicking on the Forest Closure Order, Forest Closure Order Map, and Forest Closure Order Map for the Shasta Lake.

HUNTERS:  This fire is within California Deer Hunting Zone C-2.  Hunters and OHV riders in the area need to be cognizant of evacuation orders and road closures.  Please stay safe and far away from this area, as fire conditions can change rapidly.

SMOKE IMPACTS: View the interactive map at https://www.airnow.gov/wildfires/ to see real time air quality levels in your area.  If you are healthy, you're usually not at a major risk from short-term exposures to smoke. Still, it's a good idea to avoid breathing smoke if you can help it. Everyone should take the steps below when wildfires are present.  See Reduce Your Smoke Exposure for helpful suggestions when it’s smoky outside.

STATE-WIDE FUELS ADVISORY: Elevated to extreme ERC (Energy Release Component) values, low fuel moistures, and above average herbaceous (Grass) fuel loads across the state could result in a fire environment that is far more flammable heading into October than is typical for the time of year.  (View Fuels Advisory PDF). 

DRONE SAFETY - KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FLY:  Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at Home - Know Before You Fly . “If you fly, we can’t!” 

Fire Aircraft operate inside of a Temporary Flight Restriction, a cleared and safe environment where firefight aircraft can focus more on the fire, and less on other aircraft.   A map and additional information for the Shoe Fire’s TFR can be found at https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_7697.html

Several firefighting aircraft have been and will be continuously working the Shoe Fire including night operations.   The public is advised to stay out of the area of as this is an active and ongoing incident.

CONTROL OBJECTIVES: 

ABOUT THE FOREST:  The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is the largest National Forest in California, encompassing 2.2 million acres with over 6,278 miles of streams and rivers. It ranges from 1,000 in elevation (Shasta Lake and its general area) to the spectacular Mt. Shasta with its impressive elevation of 14,179 feet.

The Shasta-Trinity National Forest area is one of the most culturally complex regions in California encompassing a varied and rich Native American cultural heritage. Cultural resources distributed throughout the forest, range from archaeological remains of past life ways to sacred sites utilized by contemporary Native American peoples. The forest works with eleven federally recognized tribes include the Redding Rancheria, Resighini Rancheria, Pit River Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe, The Klamath Tribes, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation, Round Valley Reservation, Yurok Tribe, the Karuk Tribe, Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, and Moduc Nation of Oklahoma; and with eight non-federally recognized tribes include Winnemem Wintu Tribe, Tsnungwe Tribe, Nor-Rel-Muk Wintu Nation, Wintu Tribe of Northern California and Toyon-Wintu Center, Wintu of Hayfork, The Moduc Nation, The Shasta Nation Inc., and Shasta Indian Nation. 

The STNF includes portions of five designated Wilderness Areas: Castle Crags, Chanchellulla, Mount Shasta, Trinity Alps and Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel. The main branch of the Trinity River is a designated Wild and Scenic River which runs through the forest. A 154 mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail runs in an east - west direction across the STNF. The Trinity Heritage and the Trinity River Scenic Byways are two scenic drives in the area.

The Evergreen Forest Fire was detected late in the afternoon on Thursday, October 17, in the vicinity of the Chengwatana State Forest, east of Pine City, Minnesota. The fire is estimated to be 140 acres burning in a remote are of the State Forest mainly in lowland swamp and heavy timber. There are no known threats to structures or infrastructure. 

The Minnesota DNR is leading the response, and initially received mutual aid support from the Pine City Fire Department. Multiple aircraft capable of dropping water and fire retardant have been utilized to help cool and slow down the active fire along the edges, which helps support the firefighters, engines and other heavy equipment working to control the fire on the ground.  

After Thursday’s extreme fire weather event, conditions have improved slightly with humidity recovering above 25% and calmer winds, but near-critical fire weather remains a concern. The area is experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions, and wildfires that develop in these conditions are requiring more effort to control and extinguish.

CURRENT INFORMATION: 


October 19, 2024, P.M., today firefighters worked to engage and contain fire in the Iron Fork Canyon area via aircraft and on the ground. Throughout the day there was minimal growth of acreage within the fire contingency line. Fire continues to burn in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness within extremely steep rugged terrain. Tonight aircraft will continue to drop water on hot spots.

State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Rd) remains temporarily closed until further notice (only residents/property owners with proof are allowed in).

 

As of October 19, 2024, A.M, approximately 250 additional acres have burned since yesterday’s strong Santa Ana winds. The fire is 99% contained but not controlled or fully out. Some of the unconfined portions are in extremely difficult terrain, difficult to access. With strong winds and pockets of fuel still smoldering for days, a flare up near the containment line spread to unburned fuel in the Iron Fork Canyon area. This is in the remote area in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.  Firefighters are working with aircraft and on the ground to engage and contain fire in this area. The fire may continue to grow until containment efforts are successful.  There are no evacuation orders in place. There are no new or recent injuries. 

Due to strong Santa Ana winds (high winds up to 50 mph), State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Road) in the Angeles National Forest is closed until further notice. (Only residents/property owners with proof are being allowed in.) California Highway Patrol officers are onsite diverting traffic. Due to this closure, there is no access to Crystal Lake Campground, Coldbrook Campground, San Gabriel Canyon Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area, the San Gabriel River or other sites in this area. 

If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it. Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time.

BACKGROUND: 

On Sunday, Sept. 8, at 2:40 p.m., Angeles National Forest firefighters responded to a reported wildfire in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in the East Fork area by Cattle Canyon Bridge along Camp Bonita Road. 

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the incident was lowered to a Type 4 incident. This means complexity and needs of this incident are going down. However, unburned pockets of fuel (grasses, brush, trees, etc.) within the perimeter of the burned area of the Bridge Fire may flare up and smoke/flames could be visible.

Oct. 23, 2024.  No new fire growth was observed for the Summit Lake Fire in the last 24 hours.  The fire has received approximately 4/10ths of an inch of precipitation, substantially moderating fire behavior.  Cloud cover and cool temperatures also served to moderate fire behavior. 

Current actions: To the north and east, the fire has been stalled by wetlands and lakes, allowing firefighters to prioritize the southwest flank of the fire in the vicinity of private lands. Protecting private lands in the vicinity of the fire has been identified as a primary objective for fire suppression. Firefighters will be working to construct and reinforce firelines along the southwest flank of the fire, extending from Summit Lake to the heel of the fire southward. 

Fire activity: Within the perimeter, the pattern of burning is frequently patchy with areas of consumed leaf litter and pockets of smoldering dead and down heavy woody debris.  Previous fire activity and growth has occurred primarily to the south and southwest, driven primarily by terrain and wind. 

Discovery date: October 18, 2024.  Cause remains under investigation.

Location: Northwest corner of the McCormick Wilderness between Summit Lake and Evergreen Lake. The McCormick Wilderness is located in Baraga County, 12.5 miles north of Michigamme, MI.  

Estimated size:  225 acres.  This estimate of acreage will change, reflecting previous growth of the fire, pending the availability of a flight to map the fire perimeter.

Resources: Total staffing of 45 individuals.  Two single engine air tankers and one Type III helicopter are assigned to the fire.

CURRENT INFORMATION:
October 20 - P.M. Update: 

Firefighters continue to work in difficult conditions primarily focused in the Iron Fork Canyon area. Due to improved weather with less wind, as of October 20, 2024, 8:00 p.m. State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Rd) is now open to the public.


October 20 - A.M. Update: 
The Bridge Fire has grown by 346 acres since Friday. However, with a contingency line around the fire, it is still 99% contained. 

Last night, aircraft worked through the night dropping water on hot spots with success.

Firefighters working the Bridge Fire continue their work to contain and secure a flare up in Iron Fork Canyon in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness. There are increased threats due to this week's predicted strong Santa Ana winds. This is very difficult and rugged terrain. 

State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Rd) remains temporarily closed until further notice. (Only residents/property owners with proof are allowed in). California Highway Patrol officers are onsite diverting traffic. Due to this closure, there is no access to Crystal Lake Campground, Coldbrook Campground, San Gabriel Canyon Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area, the San Gabriel River, or other sites in this area. 

If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it. Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time. 

No new injuries.

Trail Ridge Fire

Fire Summary

Approx. 5 miles SE Sula, MT

Approx. 11 miles NW of Big Hole National Battlefield

Size: 18,138 acres Completion: 80%

Personnel: 37

 

 

 

 


CURRENT STATUS

The Trail Ridge Fire is burning on the Wisdom District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and the Darby-Sula District of the Bitterroot National Forest.  A Type 4 team assumed command of the fire October 19, 2022.  The incoming Incident Commander is Cache Gibbons with Incident Commander (t) Cody Hoover.  Both are from Bitterroot National Forest, Darby Ranger District.

 

Currently the fire is 18,138 acres.  On Saturday, October 22, the fire received a wetting rain with snow starting around 3,800 feet.  This moisture has considerately dampened fire activity.  With more moisture expected over the fire in the coming days the fire will likely continue to smolder and put up very little smoke.  Today fire officials will reassess conditions and begin repair work where needed.

 

The main objective for this fire continues to be firefighter and public safety.  Other primary objectives include keeping the fire    from impacting private lands and values along Highway 93 and East Fork of the Bitterroot corridors utilizing point protection and indirect lines where needed. Suppression repair work will continue if needed.

 

 

FIRE WEATHER AND BEHAVIOR
Today will be mostly sunny with a chance of a rain snow mix this afternoon. Highs will be in the 40’s with winds south southeast 5-10 mph.  Gusts could be as high as 21 mph.  Tonight will have a low of around 21, with winds gusts as high as 21 mph.  Chance of precipitation will be 90%. Moisture will continue throughout this week.

Fire Update – Elkhorn Fire, August 25, 2023

\n\n

McCall, Idaho – The Elkhorn Fire is 26,048 acres and 88% complete. Minimal smoldering fire activity has been observed. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected today. Warmer drier weather is expected early next week. While recent precipitation has helped to substantially limit fire activity and growth, some heat may remain in the heavy dead and down vegetation on the forest floor until the area receives significant, repeated rain or snow. Fire activity within the remote wilderness may increase during periods of hotter, drier weather but is not expected to threaten values at risk.

\n\n

Structure defense equipment on values in the Salmon River canyon above Arctic Lodge has been removed by helicopter and boat. Firefighters and heavy equipment will continue suppression repair on mechanical line, handlines, and roads.

\n\n

Boaters passing through and camping in the area of the Elkhorn Fire should be aware that fire activity has significantly altered the landscape on both sides of the river in the area. Please use caution when floating through the fire area, and be especially on the lookout for falling rocks, logs, and other debris. Heavy rains on burned areas may create new river hazards and rapids. Camping, recreating (e.g., picnics, bathroom breaks, beach walking) and stopping through the area of Elkhorn Fire activity is allowed with some exceptions. Once past Hancock Camp (River Mile 26.1) there is no stopping until boaters pass Magpie Creek Camp (River Mile 29.6). After passing Magpie Creek Camp, boaters will be allowed to camp and recreate on a First Come, First Served basis everywhere except Upper Allison, Allison, Lower Allison, and Whitewater Camp. After passing Whitewater Ranch (River Mile 39) there are no restrictions connected to the Elkhorn Fire. For additional information on rafting, contact the river desk at 208-756-5587 or 208-481-2625.

On June 24th, 2024 the High Sierra Ranger District of the Sierra National Forest, was in the path of a lightning storm that created 18 fires. An additional fire, and by far the largest, is the Basin Fire which was detected, June 26th, 2024. The fire traveled in a northeast direction toward Black Rock at a rapid rate.

Air resources from the surrounding 18 fires on the High Sierra Ranger District were reassigned to the Basin Fire. Aircraft was utilized to slow the rate of spread. The cause of the Basin Fire is currently under investigation. 
Over a hundred firefighters responded to the Basin Fire. Hot Shots, hand crews, dozers, and engines focused on point protection for structures in the Balch Camp area. Resource orders were placed to mobilize more forces, to not only focus on the initial attack of the Basin Fire, but to also continue suppressing the 18 other fires that are on the district. 

The fire is at 2000-4500 feet elevation, northeast of Pine Flat Lake, west of the Spanish Mountain, south of Black Rock Rd (11S012) and north of the South Fork of the Kings River.

The Sheering Fire, located between Duckwall & Bell Mountain near Cherry Lake, started on June 24, 2024, at approximately 7:19 pm. It was one of several fires that resulted from an unusual lightning event that moved through the area that day. In addition to the Sheering Fire, two fires were ignited in the Clavey River drainage, where the 2013 Rim Fire started. Because of their location and the known potential for those fires to become large quickly, they were the top priority for fire resources, including air support. They were fully contained, and then additional resources moved to the Sheering Fire which has burned with low to moderate intensity and a slow rate of spread. 

Since the beginning of the Sheering Fire, fire managers have maintained a full suppression strategy and public and firefighter safety remain the highest priority. It is located within the 2013 Rim Fire footprint and has excessive snags, hazard trees, and dead and down fuel, making it a higher risk for firefighter safety when performing suppression activities. Due to the fire’s location, its slow rate of spread, and its mostly low-intensity fire behavior, fire managers have been able to utilize existing roads and natural features for containment lines in several locations around the fire perimeter, protecting both firefighters and resources in the area. Burn scars from the Quarry Fire (2023), Bone Fire (2023), and Rosasco Fire (2019) provide secondary barriers to East, West, and South.

SUMMARY:  Crews are continuing with suppression repair efforts in the area of the Lake Fire. Water bars are being constructed on fire lines in the area to reduce the potential of soil erosion and contamination of waterways by potential debris flow. Heavy equipment will be used to push large piles of dirt and vegetation back over the lines. With the goal of restoring the area as close to pre-fire conditions as possible, the project will be underway for several weeks. 

A type 3 incident management team from the Los Padres National Forest assumed command of the Lake Fire.

AREA CLOSURE: The Los Padres National Forest has an area closure for lands affected by the Lake Fire.  View the Closure Order & Closure Order Map.  This will remain in effect until August 18th, 2024, or until revised or rescinded.

ALL EVACUATION ORDERS AND WARNINGS WERE CANCELLED for the Lake Fire area effective Tuesday, July 23 at 4 p.m.

ROAD CLOSURES: Multiple roads within the Los Padres National Forest remain closed. Visit the Santa Barbara Ranger and Santa Lucia Ranger pages for details at Los Padres National Forest - Alerts & Closures (usda.gov). 

LAKE FIRE BACKGROUND: On July 5, 2024, firefighters from the Los Padres National Forest and Santa Barbara County Fire responded to a vegetation fire near Zaca Lake that grew rapidly through grass and brush during a prolonged heat wave across the west coast.

Santa Barbara County has proclaimed a local emergency due to the Lake Fire, which threatened several communities including Santa Ynez and Los Olivos, as well as ranches, farms, homes, campgrounds, and State Routes 154 and 176.     Read the Full Proclamation  Leer la Proclamación Completa.

FOREST ORDERS / RESTRICTIONS: No open fires, campfires or charcoal fires will be permitted outside of developed recreation sites or designated Campfire Use Sites, even with a valid California Campfire Permit. Lanterns and portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel will be permitted, but only with a valid California Campfire Permit, which can be obtained free-of-charge at this website. Forest visitors must clear all flammable material for five feet in all directions from their camp stove, have a shovel available, and ensure that a responsible person always attends the stove during use.

ABOUT THE FOREST: Encompassing almost two million acres, Los Padres National Forest spans some of the most ruggedly beautiful landscapes to be found anywhere in California.  Los Padres National Forest has ten designated wilderness areas comprising 875,000 acres.  

Ecosystems in Los Padres National Forest range from semi-desert in interior areas to redwood forest on the coast. Forest vegetation is classified into two major types: chaparral (68%) and forested lands (30%). Forested land includes mixed evergreen forests, oak woodland, pinyon-juniper woodland, and conifer forest. Management of chaparral vegetation consists essentially of prescribed burning and wildfire suppression. Forested lands are managed primarily to maintain health and vigor.

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Incident Management Team 1 will transition the fire to a local Type 3 organization as of 7:00 a.m. Thursday July 18th.  The fire is 100% lined at 4,102 acres and is 84% contained as of July 17th. 

 

The Salt Creek Fire, located 10 miles east of Eagle Point, began on Sunday, July 7. The Oregon Department of Forestry's Incident Management Team 1 took command of the fire on July 8. 

Background: The Salt Creek Fire was first reported Sunday afternoon just after 4 p.m. on July 7. Both ODF Southwest Oregon District and Lake Creek Fire District initially responded. When firefighters arrived on scene, it was estimated to be 2-5 acres and growing quickly in the hot, dry and windy conditions. Numerous resources were ordered, including engines, bulldozers, water tenders and multiple types of aircraft. The fire grew to an estimated 10 acres within the half hour, and 200 acres an hour and a half into initial attack. Six helicopters, two Large Air Tankers (LATs) and a Very Large Air Tanker (VLAT) were ordered, and numerous retardant drops helped to box in the fire by creating temporary retardant lines around the majority of the incident. By the afternoon of July 8, the fire had grown to approximately 1,500 - 2,000 acres and local crews had lined 40% of the fire.

The Falls Fire started on July 10, 2024, approximately 25 miles northwest of Burns, Oregon, on the Emigrant Creek Ranger District of the Malheur National Forest. The Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, and Oregon State Fire Marshal are working in partnership with Incident Management Teams. 

Initial attack resources attempted direct tactics early on but were challenged by the terrain and accessibility to the eastern side of the fire. Full suppression efforts are being implemented utilizing a combination of direct, indirect, and point protection where the highest probability of success can be safely achieved.

A full-suppression strategy is being used for the fire, while insuring to minimize risks to responders and the public. The fire was human-caused and remains under investigation.

Operations Update (video)

Latest map

Fire behavior has moderated and primarily is driven by weather conditions with mixed hardwood-conifer timber at lower elevations. Upper elevations are dominated by light brush and litter under a conifer overstory. The northern edge of the fire has burned into the footprint of 2022’s Ammon Fire where reduced fuel loads have led to reduced fire activity.

Early on, the fire grew rapidly and prompted evacuations as well as the use of significant air resources. Because the fire is burning on both state and federal lands, two incident management teams were called in to share in suppression efforts, one federal team and one CAL FIRE team. As of 8/15/2024, Hill Fire is 100% contained and now managed by local staff from the Lower Trinity Ranger District.

The Lone Rock Fire began July 13, 2024, and is currently being managed under a full suppression strategy. Local ranchers and landowners along with local Rural Fire Protection Districts initially responded to the wildfire protecting structures and private property. Multiple Incident Management Teams have been working to contain the fire, protect structures, and other values at risk. 

Firefighters continue to work on building containment lines and have begun mop-up operations in some locations of the fire. The fire footprint is within the following counties: Gilliam, Wheeler, Morrow and Grant. Hot, dry and windy weather initially hampered firefighter's ability to contain and control this wildfire as it grew to more than 130,000 acres. Wetter conditions allowed firefighters to gain containment and secured the northern end of the fire. Many structures were saved during this wildfire, though unfortunately some were lost.

The Easy Fire, burning in dense timber in the Methow Valley Ranger District, 17 air miles west of the Mazama community, was sparked by dry lightning storms on the evening of July 17, 2024. Crews responded and immediately reported explosive fire growth and running crown fire into the evening. Crews stayed on the fire overnight but weeks of extreme temperatures, record dry conditions, and dangerous terrain with no road access hampered initial response efforts.  

Natural features on the north and south are being used to limit fire spread on the Easy Fire. Fire managers are using a combination of ground crews to put in containment lines where possible and air resources to cool off hotspots with water. Steep drainages and ridgelines limit the ability of ground crews to access the fire directly and air tanker pilots to safely fly the fire area. Recent weather has elevated fuel moisture content and reduced the intensity of what active fire remains. Incident management will continue to monitor the fire to ensure that any heat stays within the current fire footprint.

The Miners Ridge lookout reported several potential wildfires on the evening of July 17th following a large dry lightning storm that moved through the Pacific Northwest. In total, nearly 1,000 lighting strikes hit Oregon and Washington in the period between July 17th and 18th, 2024. Fire managers began reconnaissance flights to determine the severity of the lightning storm including three new potential wildfire starts reported on July 18th. Smokejumpers were ordered and began immediate work on one of the numerous fires. Additional new lightning starts may continue to be found as winds and record-breaking dry timber fuel fire growth.  

The Miners Complex consists of eight wildfires caused by lightning strikes in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The fires included in the complex are Miners Fire, Vista Ridge Fire, Dolly Creek Fire, Sulphur Three Fire, Sulphur Four Fire, Sulphur Thirty-Four Fire, Plummer, and Middle Ridge Fire.

The Telephone Fire started on July 22, 2024, approximately 15 miles north of Burns, Oregon, in the King Mountain area on the Emigrant Creek Ranger District of the Malheur National Forest. The Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, and Oregon State Fire Marshal are working in partnership with fire managers. A full-suppression strategy is being used for the fire, while insuring to minimize risks to responders and the public. 

Initial attack resources attempted direct tactics early on but were challenged by the terrain and accessibility to the eastern side of the fire. Full suppression efforts are being implemented utilizing a combination of direct, indirect, and point protection where the highest probability of success can be safely achieved. 

 

Evacuation Information

All evacuations for Harney and Grant Counties have been lifted as of 8/20/2024.

 

Closures

The Malheur National Forest has a closure order in place. To protect public health and safety, fire managers have closed the area around the fire due to fire activity and fire suppression operations.

FOREST ORDERS / RESTRICTIONS: No open fires, campfires or charcoal fires will be permitted outside of developed recreation sites or designated Campfire Use Sites, even with a valid California Campfire Permit. Lanterns and portable stoves using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel will be permitted, but only with a valid California Campfire Permit, which can be obtained free-of-charge at this website. Forest visitors must clear all flammable material for five feet in all directions from their camp stove, have a shovel available, and ensure that a responsible person always attends the stove during use.

ABOUT THE FOREST: Encompassing almost two million acres, Los Padres National Forest spans some of the most ruggedly beautiful landscapes to be found anywhere in California.  Los Padres National Forest has ten designated wilderness areas comprising 875,000 acres.  

Ecosystems in Los Padres National Forest range from semi-desert in interior areas to redwood forest on the coast. Forest vegetation is classified into two major types: chaparral (68%) and forested lands (30%). Forested land includes mixed evergreen forests, oak woodland, pinyon-juniper woodland, and conifer forest. Management of chaparral vegetation consists essentially of prescribed burning and wildfire suppression. Forested lands are managed primarily to maintain health and vigor.

The Limepoint Fire is 100% contained.  The Oxbow and Cliff Mountain Fires were managed as a part of the Limepoint fire.  All three of these fires are 100% contained with no threat of continued fire spread.  Until the snow covers the interior area of these fires there is a chance that isolated hotspots may flair up.  Fire managers are monitoring for these hotspots and will, as necessary send firefighting resources to suppress hotspots if necessary.

Burned Area Emergency Recover (BAER) work continues to take place in areas of the fires that need work done to prevent sediment runoff into stream.  BAER work centers on emergency measures that may need to be taken to stabilize the fire area before winter comes, and potential work that may need to be done over several months with a focus on prevention on erosion due to vegetation having been burned off the landscape.  A fire intensity map has been developed and shows that approximately 7% of the total burned area burned with high fire intensity - these are the areas where BAER work is focused on.

The fire closure for the entirety of the Limepoint Fire has been rescinded.  There are no closures in relation to this fire.  Please note that the fire closure for the Lava Fire remains in effect on the east side of the council Ranger district in the Indian Valley area.

Be safe while in a burned area. A burned landscape presents a number of safety hazards that either did not exist prior to the fire or have been exacerbated by the effects of the fire. In some cases, these hazardous conditions may persist for several years after a fire. Be very aware of your surroundings, follow warning signs and directions from agency personnel, and pay particular attention to these potential safety hazards:

*Abandoned hunter warming fires are being found across the landscape with another one reported just yesterday.  These human-caused fires require our firefighting resources to respond and takes them away from work being done within the Limepoint Fire area.

The lightning caused fire was discovered on July 24, 2024 at approximately 8pm The fire was burning in grass and brush approximately 15 miles northwest of Congress.

FINAL Update 7/31 at 1pm:  The fire is now 100% contained and the remaining resources have been made available for new fires.

Update 7/29 at 7pm:  This will be the final update unless significant activity occurs.  The fire remained at 3,059 acres today while containment was increased to 50% due to the hard work of crews that secured and mopped up along the fire's edge.  Minimal heat and smoke were observed, and no use of aircraft was required today.  Tomorrow, the incident will transition to a type 4 organization and release many of its resources to be available for initial attack.  

Update 7/28 at 8pm:  Fire is estimated at 3,059 acres with 35% containment.  Today, crews constructed direct fireline and utilized helicopter bucket drops and retardant drops from SEATs after fire activity increased on the North and West sides of the fire.  The two dozers worked to construct contingency lines on the North and South sides of the fire to connect the fireline to an existing road.  The dozers also constructed a helispot that can be utilized for helicopters conducting recon and mapping flights.

Update 7/27 at 9pm: Yesterday, the fire activity was minimal with light smoke near the ridge line. This activity was well away from the containment lines and posed no threat for further spread. A morning recon flight took place and crews worked most of the day to secure the fireline on the east and south sides. Firefighters worked to scout out future containment lines for the western portion of the fire.

Today, crews continued to secure the fireline and activity picked up in the late afternoon due to weather. A helicopter was utilized for water bucket drops to cool hot spots on the western edge. With weather becoming more conduce to active fire behavior, air attack and two SEATs with retardant were ordered to assist ground resources in slowing the fire spread. At this time, the fire is estimated at 2,954 acres and 10% containment.

Update 7/26 at 7am: Fire is estimated at 1,618 with 0% containment.  A recon flight has been ordered for this morning to map the fire area.  Crews were on the fire late into the evening yesterday, completing firing operations and securing the fireline. Firefighters have been briefed on today’s plan and are heading to the fireline. An additional crew and two dozers will join the Type 3 Organization today in suppression efforts. Aircraft remain available to assist and a TFR is in place.

Update 7/25 at 9pm: Fire estimated at 1,618 acres and crews are continuing with firing operations to secure fireline.

Update 7/25 at 5:30pm: Fire is estimated at 300 acres with 0% containment.

Crews assigned to the fire include engines, handcrews, a water tender, and miscellaneous overhead. The crews are working on full supression with multiple firing operations taking place to prevent the fire from crossing various roads.  Thunderstorms in the area are producing erratic, outflow winds that have changed the wind direction multiple times. Aircraft was over the fire in the morning with an original estimate of 17 acres. Multiple retardant drops were made with SEATs but were ineffective due to winds.  Aircraft was available in the afternoon due to weather.

A burned landscape presents several safety hazards that either did not exist prior to the fire or have been exacerbated by the effects of the fire. These hazards include unstable soils that allow rocks to dislodge and roll down steep hillsides; fire-weakened trees and snags that can fall over or large limbs breaking away in windy conditions; and stump holes where fire has burned through a tree root system and created cavities that can collapse under your feet. Always remember to be aware of your surroundings and aware of the hazards in a burned area.  We are asking recreationists and hunters to please stay out of the fire area for firefighter and public safety.

The Currant Creek Fire is located approximately 5 miles east/northeast of Cedaredge, CO near Redlands Mesa in the upper Currant Creek drainage. It was first reported on July 27th at 2 PM, at which time it was growing rapidly and aggressively. By the time local VFD resources arrived on scene, it was approximately 80 acres in size, consuming juniper, sage, oak brush, and grasses. Shortly after resources arrived, a localized thunderstorm dropped heavy rain and hail over the fire area. The precipitation reduced fire behavior and allowed firefighters to engage the fire more directly. Aerial resources arrived on scene by 4:30 PM, dropping water and retardant. The CO MMA estimated the size of the fire at 182 acres at around 7:30 PM.

 

This fire was declared contained by fire managers on Saturday, Aug 3, 2024 at approximately 5:00 p.m. Command was transferred to Type 4 local agency personnel for continued monitoring and suppression repair. There will be no further updates to this incident unless a change in conditions warrants the release of additional information.

The Pentagon Fire is not currently impacting the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) but is located near a popular alternative CDT route along trail 83 (Spotted Bear River trail) north of Spotted Bear Pass and trail 173 (Pentagon Creek trail) toward Switchback Pass. A closure order may be issued if conditions change and fire activity increases.

A recon flight on August 3, 2024 confirmed reported observations of a fire on the south side of Spotted Bear River between Lime Creek and Wall Creek. The fire is currently estimated at 62 acres, burning in steep, rocky, and rugged terrain approximately 0.5 miles south of the Pentagon Cabin Administrative Site. Both Spotted Bear and Beartop Lookouts reported visible smoke late on August 2, enabling detection and triangulation of the fire. The fire was started by lightning from a dry thunderstorm on July 24 and while multiple detection flights have flown the area, fire activity was not visible until August 2. 

Fire managers have developed a strategy with the highest probability of success to manage this fire. They have based their strategy on protecting critical values at risk and prioritizing the safety of the public and responders, while preserving landscape characteristics in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

At 8 p.m. PST on Sept. 11, a local type 4 team took command of the Sandstone Fire. See the Mt. Hood National Forest website and Facebook page for future information on this fire.

The Sandstone Fire ignited from a lightning strike on Monday, August 5, after a lightning storm event. The fire is located on the south side of Thunder Mountain several miles north of Forest Road 70 on the Clackamas River Ranger District and 9 miles southwest of Ripplebrook OR, on the Mt. Hood National Forest.

At 6 a.m. on August 17, Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 took command of the fire, which also includes the Blister Creek Fire. The fire is currently burning in the 2006 Blister Fire burn scar, where there is dead and down fuel and remote, steep, rugged terrain. 

While much of the fire area is remote, if the fire were to spread significantly, it could affect nearby population centers in Clackamas County. Fire managers are using a full-suppression strategy to protect private property, public infrastructure, and natural and recreation resources while minimizing risks to responders and the public.  Firefighters continue to establish firelines and hose lays, working in conjunction with water-dropping aircraft.

The Mt. Hood National Forest has a closure order in place for the area around the Sandstone Fire. Closed trails include Skookum Lake Trail (#542) and Thunder Mountain Trail (#543). Closed Recreation Sites within the Closure Area include Kingfisher Campground and Pegleg Falls. Please see the 'Closures' tab for more information.

Current Status as of Sept. 30 - The Northwest Corner of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire has been active since Sept. 26. There is no impact to the Salmon River Corridor. Lookout observers are updating BNF West Fork District officials.

The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team started assessments to address the immediate risks to human life and safety, Forest Service property, and critical natural and cultural resources in the post-fire environment.

------------------

Current Status as of Sept. 18: The Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Fires have received enough precipitation combined with cooler temperatures to slow any perimeter growth. There is interior smoldering. These fires are not currently posing a threat to values. Firefighters are demobilizing equipment off of these fires. 

Current Status as of Sept. 12: The Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Fires located in the West Fork Ranger District of the Bitterroot National Forest, is 16 miles southwest of Alta in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness and on the Salmon River (lightning caused). 

Because of the fire's proximity, information is posted on both fires. 

Elkhorn Ridge is currently 3,125 acres and Prospect is 2,934 acres.

 

Current Status as of Sept. 9: The fire is exhibiting minimal fire activity. There are no updates at this time. 

Current Status as of Sept. 6: No new changes to report.

Elkhorn Ridge is at 3,125 acres and Prospect is at 2,934 acres.

Current Status as of Sept. 3: There has been little growth on the Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Fires. More info to come.

Current Status as of Sept. 2: The Elkhorn Ridge Fire is currently at 3,125 acres and the Prospect Fire is at 2,934 acres.  Both fires only grew a few acres in the last couple of days.  The Elkhorn Ridge growth was in the interior of the total perimeter.  Prospect grew on the northwest side of the fire.  Minimal fire activity was observed.  Personnel continue to track fire growth and are ready to protect values at risk.

Status as of Aug. 26: After an Infrared flight, the Elkhorn Ridge was sized up to be at 3,047 acres and the Prospect Fire at 2,236 acres.

Current Status as of Aug. 22: The Prospect Fire, west of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire is seeing fire activity moving to the west. These fires are being closely monitored and point protection has already been done on the cabins along the Salmon River. More information to come.

Current Status as of Aug. 21: The Prospect Fire, west of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire, continued to burn between Smith Gulch and Harrington Creek along the Salmon River.  It also continues to burn to the west near Corey Bar.  Protection efforts were successful at River of No Return Lodge and Blackie Foster Cabin yesterday.  The suppression module continues to monitor River of No Return Lodge and Blackie Foster Cabin as the fire around it burns out.  They are mopping up (extinguishing and removing burning material) as needed. The Elkhorn Ridge Fire is burning up drainage on the west side of Dwyer Creek.  The suppression module is ready to take point protection action (protecting specific assets or highly valued resources, such as buildings, from the wildfire) at Lantz Bar if needed.

Current Status as of Aug. 20: After an Infrared reconnaissance flight last night, Elkhorn Ridge was measured at 3,037 acres and the Prospect Fire, to the northwest of Elkhorn, was measured at 1,100 acres. The fires haven't received a lot of precipitation over the last couple of days, however, cooler temperatures and higher humidity decreased fire intensity yesterday.  Fire intensity and spread may increase today with another chance of rain showers forecasted for tomorrow. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

Current Status as of Aug. 19: The Elkhorn Fire has filled in down to the river to the mouth of Dwyer Creek. The Prospect Fire (now at 791 acres) has burned down to the river between Harrington Creek and Smith Gulch. The Prospect Fire also crossed Smith Gulch farther up drainage.  It has crested the ridge and is backing down towards Cory Bar.  Firefighters secured the River of No Return Lodge and Blackie Foster Cabin overnight.  Personnel will continue those efforts as the fire backs down on the west side of Smith Gulch.  Restrictions for campers and boaters are listed below. 

Current Status as of Aug. 16, 2024: The Elkhorn Ridge Fire received light rain yesterday and therefore the fire had minimal growth with light fire activity in the Dwyer Creek area. 

Current Status as of Aug. 15, 2024: There has been no significant fire growth in the last 24 hours.  There was very little smoke in the river corridor this morning.

Current Status as of Aug. 14, 2024:

The fire is approximately 2,050 acres in size and has backed away from the Salmon River. Rain has decreased fire behavior on the #ElkhornRidgeFire located 16 miles SW of Alta in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness. Firefighters reported this morning that there is minimal smoke along the Salmon River. Significant fire behavior isn't expected to pick up until after this week when drier conditions are forecasted.

Crews are maintaining point protection equipment and monitoring the Elkhorn Ridge and Prospect Ridge Fires by jet boat and lookout positions along the river.

General Wildfire Information:

Wildfires play an important role in shaping the landscape along the river corridor.  They may also alter your itinerary while on the river. 

What you need to know to be prepared during fire season. 

 

Current Status as of Aug. 13, 2024:

#ElkhornRidgeFire on the West Fork Ranger District is located 16 miles SW of Alta in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness (lightning caused) and is estimated at 2,482 acres in size. Since last night, the fire has exhibited minimal activity based off imagery from an Infrared (IR) reconnaissance flight. The area received rain over the past few days which helped cool the fire off.

Another fire called #ProspectRidgeFire was detected 1.10 miles west of the Elkhorn Ridge Fire. It is estimated to be at 200 acres. This fire was showing moderate activity. Because of the fire's proximity to the Elkhorn Ridge Fire, the two fires may grow together. This fire will also have a point protection strategy.

Resources actively working these fires:

- Firefighters put structure protection in place for Lantz Bar and Blackie Foster/River of No Return Lodge.

- Crews are working to put structure protection in place for Arctic Lodge today.

- Personnel will be traveling the river to assess river camps.

- Another reconnaissance flight is scheduled today to get an update on fire perimeter and size.

 

Status Aug. 12: 

The fire did not grow significantly last night and continues to move to the north, east and west but the fire has not crossed the Salmon River to the south. The fire is showing minimal activity near the river’s edge and is primarily growing to the north, away from the river. The western edge of the fire has moved onto Thirsty Ridge and the eastern edge is packing down into Dwyer Creek. Structure protection is in place for Lantz Bar, and Blacky Forest Cabin/River of No Return Lodge. Another request is in for a mapping flight to place tonight. Today, firefighters will set up structure protection at Artic Creek Lodge located in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness. Future updates on the fire size and perimeter will be provided as resources are available.

The Town Gulch Fire ignited due to lightning and was observed and reported on Monday, August 5 at 9:27 AM PDT along Eagle Creek about eight miles NNW of Richland. Steep terrain and cliffs remain a threat to crews operating inside the fire perimeter. Winding canyon roads pose a hazard for crews traveling near the incident.

Town Gulch is being managed as a full suppression incident. Firefighters, the public and other incident responders' safety remain the top priority; followed by protection of structures, community assets and private property.

A slight decrease in acreage of the fire is due to more accurate mapping.

This Inciweb page is intended to provide a summary of wildfire incidents taking place in the Payette National Forest's part of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  Specific fires that are of large size or are threatening value at risk will have individual Inciweb pages in addition to this summary page - links to those individual Inciweb pages are provided below.

There is a misconception that all wildfires within a wilderness area are what some people term as \"let burn\" fires.  The Forest Service does not have a policy termed as \"let burn,\" and in fact all wildfires whether within a wilderness or outside a wilderness are evaluated by looking at the values at risk, burning indices, and firefighter and public safety to determine the specific strategies that will be taken on every wildfire.

A Forest may utilize all the wildfire tools available when taking actions for an unplanned ignition whether lightning caused, or human caused – there is no one right answer nor requirement for every wildfire to be addressed in a given way as every fire is different and needs to be addressed based on the characteristic of that fire and the values at risk.  We use all available tools and technologies to ensure proactive fire detection, risk assessments, fire response, and post-fire recovery. Every wildfire receives a risk-informed response with effective strategies at the local level.

Standard wildfire strategies are Suppression, Containment/Confinement, Zone-Point Protection and Monitor.  Any combination of these strategies can be and typically are use on every wildfire incident whether within or outside a wilderness area.

Our goal for managing wildfire in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness is: 

The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Incident Management Operating Plan outlines processes and procedures for addressing wildfire is the Wilderness.

The Forest Service Manual and the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Management Plan directs us to “Conduct all fire management activities within wilderness in a manner compatible with overall wilderness management objectives.” We strive to use tactics and equipment that causes the least disturbance to wilderness landscapes and visitor solitude and locate fire camps, heli-spots, and other temporary facilities or improvements outside of the wilderness, whenever feasible. We rehabilitate disturbed areas within wilderness to as natural an appearance as possible.

Active Wildfires within the Payette’s part of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area.

McCall Ranger District

The Fang and Frangelica Fires have been declared as OUT.

Krassel Ranger District

Monumental Fire – 7 acres, detected evening of August 6.  Located approximately 6 miles to the NE of the Stibnite Mining District and under a full suppression strategy. Controlled and declared out. 

These two fires remain active with the Wilderness.

Parks Fire – The fire is at 5,978 acres and located on the west side of lower Chamberlain Creek down to the Salmon River, and up to Mule Creek Point ridge, then southwest into Mule Creek and into Queens Creek.  The cold front that brought strong gusty winds to the area on October 4th fanned the flames on the Parks Fire on the southwest flank into Queens Creek and up to the ridge above McCalla Creek.  There is scattered heat on the north flank along the Mule Creek ridge.  There is currently low to moderate fire activity taking place on the southwest flank of the fire.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  The Chamberlain bridge structure protection measures have been removed and several firefighters hiked into Artic Point Lookout to unwrap the structure and all is well at the site.  No damage was done to the bridge or the lookout facility.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  This fire is using a Zone/Point protection strategy while allowing this lightning caused to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness.

Farrow Fire – The fire is at 3,084 acres.  The fire was detected on August 5th and caused by lightning.  Initially located approximately 5.5 miles east-southeast of Cold Meadows Guard Station.  The cold front that passed over the fire area on October 4th fanned the flames of the Farrow fire with fire spread to the southwest down towards the South Fork of Cottonwood Creek sand into the upper drainage of Iodine Creek.  Scattered heat remains throughout the rest of the fire area. This the fire 2.5 miles from Cold Meadows Guard Station a fire crew is being sent in with structure protection equipment to address values at risk at Cold Meadows.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  This lightning caused fire is being permitted to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness. Zone/Point Protection measures will be taken if necessary and is being monitored by air.

These fires have shown no activity over the last two week but have not been declared out.

Cotton Fire - 104 acres – detected on September 9.  Located approximately 5 miles south, southeast from Cold Meadows Guard Station.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire.

Copper Fire – 2,129 acres and was detected on September 2.  Located approximately 10 miles east of Edwardsburg and 1 mile west of Routon Peak in the Monumental Creek drainage.  The fire has crossed Monumental Creek and is approximately 1.5 miles from Monumental Ranch, but this is not furthering the risk to the ranch.  Ranch operations are continuing to take place by the owner.  Structure protection equipment has been left in place as a protective measure regarding the Logan Fire.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire. 

Coxie Hole Fire – 194 acres.  Detected September 2.  Located approximately 14 miles east of Edwardsburg and just south of Big Creek.  Most of the fire looks to be burned out.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire.

Quartz Fire – 2 acres.  Located on the Krassel Ranger District in upper Fivemile Creek approximately 2.5 miles west, southwest of Sheepeater Lookout.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and a Monitor and Zone/Point Protection strategy is being used on this fire.  Nearest value at risk is three air miles away at Fivemile Bar along the Salmon River.

Burnt Creek – The fire is at 2,665 acres as of September 9. It was detected on August 13 and is located in Burnt Creek within the Big Creek drainage. The fire burned to the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. No fire activity has been taking place for over a month.  Personal flew into Taylor Ranch to remove and backhaul structure protection equipment, then hike the trail from the Middle Fork up Big Creek to remove fire warning signs.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  A Zone/Point Protection Strategy is being used on this fire and a structure protection plan for values at risk in the area has been implemented.

The Willamette Complex North is located northeast of Blue River and southeast of Oak Ridge. The Complex consists of the Boulder Creek, Linton Creek, and 347 Fires that were reported on July 28, 2024, and the Ore Fire that was reported on July 17, 2024. The Pyramid Fire was transitioned to a Type 4 organization with the Willamette National Forest. 

The three fires in the complex were started by lightning, while the Ore Fire was human-caused. The fires are burning adjacent to old fire scars in fuels that are composed of heavy timber stingers, wet meadows, and rocky areas. The fires are also burning in a mix of conifer timber litter and timber with understory. Large snags and heavy downed fuel loadings are common.

The Farrow Fire is at 3,637 acres as of October 15th.  This page will be updated as information becomes available or as warranted.

The fire was detected on August 5th and caused by lightning.  Initially located approximately 5.5 miles east-southeast of Cold Meadows Guard Station.  The cold front that passed over the fire area on October 4th fanned the flames of the Farrow fire with fire spread to the southwest down towards the South Fork of Cottonwood Creek sand into the upper drainage of Iodine Creek.  Since that fire spread, the fire has only been slowly spreading with low burn intensity, and no expected growth potential.  A weather system over the fire area this weekend is expected to further limit the fires potential.

The fire 2.5 miles from Cold Meadows Guard Station and all structure protection equipment has been removed from the guard station.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  This lightning caused fire is being permitted to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness. Zone/Point Protection measures will be taken if necessary and is being monitored by air.

On August 8, 2024, the Canyon Fire started near Buchanan Road about a mile from Tuolumne City, California. The fire is within steep and rocky terrain in the North Fork of the Tuolumne River Canyon. Fire crews attacked the fire aggressively and utilized defensive burning to keep the fire from burning nearby homes. In the morning, air support helped keep the fire in check and after some initial growth, it has remained at about 85 acres for the past 36 hours. 

The Canyon Fire is under unified command. CAL FIRE and the Stanislaus National Forest, have been fully engaged and coordinated to ensure firefighter and public safety. After all evacuation orders and warnings were lifted, the Tuolumne County Sheriff's Office left the unified command on 8/11/2024.

The Parks Fire is at 5,978 acres and located on the west side of lower Chamberlain Creek down to the Salmon River, and up to Mule Creek Point ridge, then southwest into Mule Creek and into Queens Creek.  The cold front that brought strong gusty winds to the area on October 4th fanned the flames on the Parks Fire on the southwest flank.  Since that time the fire has shown little to no growth on a regular basis.  A weather system is moving over the fire this weekend that is expected to further reduce the potential for the fire to continue to grow.

Monitoring of this fire has shown that favorable effects are taking place across the burn area.  The Chamberlain bridge structure protection measures have been removed and several firefighters hiked into Artic Point Lookout to unwrap the structure and all is well at the site.  No damage was done to the bridge or the lookout facility.  This fire is within the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.  This fire is using a Zone/Point protection strategy while allowing this lightning caused to play, as nearly as possible, its natural ecological role within the Wilderness.

Given our success with firefighting operations on the Ratio Mountain Fire, fire managers are reporting progress in terms of  % completion of operational objectives.  

Firefighters have successfully achieved 92% completion of operational objectives on the Ratio Mountain Fire. As a measure of progress, percent completion of objectives more accurately captures and reports the specific amount of work accomplished on the ground to manage fire spread and reduce the negative impacts to identified critical values at risk.

Crew have completed firing operations along previously constructed firelines along the eastern flank of the fire, extending from the fire footprint from the State Creek fire on the north and along Hay Canyon Road to its junction with Lower Whitetail Road in the southeast corner. The objectives to keep the fire west and north of these lines, accomplishing a full suppression strategy on this section (accounting for 60% of the perimeter) are 100% complete. 

The objective on the southern flank (accounting for 10% of the perimeter), near identified critical values at risk on private land below the St. Anthony mine site, is to implement structure protection measures. All the structure prep work is 100% complete, and the objective to strategically guide fire around the structure is also 100% complete. Collectively, the point protection objective is 100% complete.

The west and northwest portions of the fire are in remote, rugged terrain with little to no access for firefighting resources. These areas pose challenges in responding to potential medical emergencies, jeopardizing the safety and well-being of firefighters and other responders. Located four miles from the nearest identified critical value at risk, this section of the fire (accounting for 30% of the perimeter) will be monitored until significant weather results in a fire season-ending event.

As of Oct. 16 - Sharrott Creek Fire Update: 

There has been minimal growth on the Sharrott Creek Fire. There are 10 firefighters committed to this fire. Burning is occurring in the southwest corner of the fire. 

Weather for Oct.: Source DEQ Montana

A cool front marches across the Treasure State Oct. 16, scouring out much of the smoke trapped in the valleys of Southwest Montana. It will also produce some beneficial rain and mountain snow for much of the state.

Oct. 16 is the transition day to more typical mid-October weather as a cool front moves across the state. The front will be accompanied by some much-needed precipitation. For much of the area, it’s been nearly 3 weeks without measurable precipitation. The lack of precipitation and unseasonably warm air has allowed numerous regional wildfires to experience tremendous growth. The front and corresponding area of low pressure will bring snow levels down to 4,000 feet and the passes could receive a few slushy inches of snow. Expect smoke production on area wildfires to decrease significantly behind the system.

Precipitation will linger Oct. 17, with the greatest rain and snow totals focused on the higher terrain of Northwest Montana and along the spine of the Bitterroot Mountains. Temperatures will plummet on Oct. 17 as highs will hover in the 40s and low 50s.

The system departs early Friday as the precipitation gradually comes to an end. The precipitation should help moderate fire activity across Idaho and Montana, greatly reducing surface smoke concentrations. A transient ridge of high pressure develops over the weekend. It will provide slightly warmer temperatures and abundant sunshine.

- More information will be posted as it becomes available.

 

As of Sept. 30 -- The Bitterroot National Forest Service, Stevensville Ranger District, assumed command of the Sharrott Creek Fire Sept. 20. This fire has transitioned into a Type 4 team. 

This fire is still active due to warmer and drier weather. Smoke is visible from the west side of the Sharrott Creek Fire along the wilderness boundary. Moisture in fuels is drying out and unburned pockets of fuel are becoming receptive again. 25 people remain committed to the incident completing suppression repair on private property and continuing to ensure any unburned pockets of fuel will not threaten values at risk as the fire moves west. Fire activity currently poses no threat to existing containment lines.

-- Road, trail, and area closures remain in effect for the the St. Mary's Face (Road 1319 and 739) and the St. Mary's Trail (Trail 116). Please refer to the reduced Sharrott Creek Fire Closure map that's posted.

-- Big Creek and Kootenai Creek Trails are open.

The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team started assessments to address the immediate risks to human life and safety, Forest Service property, and critical natural and cultural resources in the post-fire environment.

The Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 5, Incident Commander Joe Sampson, assumed command of the fire at 6:00 AM on Monday, September 9, 2024. 

The fire was started by lightning and grew quickly during a wind event on August 23. 

The primary values at risk are the private properties along the edge of the Bitterroot National Forest on the east side of the fire. This is where firefighting resources have been focused. The western portion of the fire is burning in remote, rugged terrain with little to no access for firefighting resources. West of the fire lies the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.

The West Fire is a lightning-caused wildfire that is burning four miles northeast of Pine, Arizona. The fire is being managed under a confine and contain strategy with the goal of protecting private lands and the communities of Camp Geronimo, Geronimo Estates, Bray Creek Ranch and Pine while reintroducing fire into a fire dependent ecosystem. The intended result is to reduce hazardous fuels, improve watershed conditions and wildlife habitat. This will decrease accumulations of fuels and the potential for future fires to burn with high severity that may be more difficult to suppress. The West Fire is being managed with the Preacher Fire under a local fire management organization led by Incident Commander Tadd Fagerud.

CURRENT INFORMATION:

October 24 Update: 

Angeles National Forest firefighters use the latest tools and technology available to gather information and assess risk. Images uploaded below were taken during an overnight reconnaissance flight by our air attack plane. Today, firefighters will continue to secure the containment line by identifying heat sources with the potential to spread to unburned fuel (grass, brush, trees). White dots on the maps show hot spots. 

October 23 Update:

Improved weather conditions, primarily a significant reduction in winds, have enabled firefighters and aircraft to make progress at limiting the Bridge Fire's spread and securing the fire in its current footprint. Extensive aerial delivery of fire retardant in the last 48 hours has contributed to this progress. 

If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it. Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time. 

FOREST CLOSURE ORDERS: The Angeles National Forest has issued a Bridge Fire Area Closure Order from October 18, 2024, through December 31, 2025. This closure order covers only National Forest System roads, trails, and other facilities impacted by the Bridge Fire within the Angeles National Forest. This order replaces the previous closure order that started on September 21, 2024, through December 31, 2025.

POST-FIRE RESOURCES FOR NEARBY RESIDENTS:
Damage inspection teams completed their inspections. Residents affected by the Bridge Fire can find information on the following websites:
For San Bernardino County: prepare.sbcounty.gov/bridge-fire/ 
For Los Angeles County: recovery.lacounty.gov/bridgefire/

For emergency alerts, please register here:  


ROAD CLOSURES: 


Additional closures may still be in place on roads managed and maintained by other agencies inside the forest. Most major roads in the Angeles National Forest are not managed or maintained by the Forest Service. We recommend also checking Caltrans (https://roads.dot.ca.gov/), the Los Angeles County Road Closures list (https://dpw.lacounty.gov/roadclosures/) and the San Bernardino County Road Conditions (https://dpw.sbcounty.gov/operations/road-closures/) list for updates.  


EFFECTS OF THE BRIDGE FIRE ON THE ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST:

A team of specialists (called a Burned Area Emergency Response Team) came to study the effects of the Bridge Fire on Angeles National Forest lands. Information has just been released about their findings. Learn more.


IF YOU FLY, WE CAN’T!  

Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. A FAA Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect and any private aircraft or drone that violates the TFR could face serious criminal charges. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at www.KnowBeforeYouFly.org.


BACKGROUND: 

On Sunday, Sept. 8, at 2:40 p.m., Angeles National Forest firefighters responded to a reported wildfire in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in the East Fork area by Cattle Canyon Bridge along Camp Bonita Road. 

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the incident was lowered to a Type 4 incident. This means complexity and needs of this incident are going down. However, unburned pockets of fuel (grasses, brush, trees, etc.) within the perimeter of the burned area of the Bridge Fire may flare up and smoke/flames could be visible.

Weather:  Last week the Logan Fire area received about 0.5 inches of rain with a trace of snow across the fire area.  This weather event helped to slow and moderate fire spread to a point that the fire is now being managed as a Type 4 Incident with a focus on fire line suppression repair in the Edwardsburg area.  There is very limited potential for additional fire growth and only in the northeastern and east flanks of the fire.  Another weather system is expected to provide moisture to the fire over this coming weekend that will further reduce the potential for fire spread and the need for fire suppression activities.

Current Situation:   A hand crew and one engine remain assigned to the fire with a focus on fire line suppression repair and patrolling for potential hotspots and removing fallen trees on the roadways in the Edwardsburg area.  Chipping and burning of piles of woody materials continues to take place.

Evacuations:  Valley County Sheriff's Office has lifted the evacuation level and opened the county roads - the Warren-Profile Gap Road (referred to locally as the Big Creek Road and the Elk Summitt Road) are open.  If traveling the roadways use caution and watch for rolling debris and fallen trees throughout the burned area.

Closures:  The Logan Fire has a Forest Service road and trail closure in effect - these are only for Forest Service roads and trails. The map and description are located at  https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/payette/alerts-notices.

The Buck Creek Fire started in heavy timber within the Yamsay Mountain Semi-Primitive Area on the Fremont-Winema National Forest, about 13 miles southwest of Silver Lake, Ore. The fire spread north and east into managed timber stands with brush and grass understory and is now about 11 miles from the community of Silver Lake. The fire has burned 5,758 acres and 98% contained.

Smoke from burning fuels well inside the secure containment lines will be visible from surrounding areas, but fire managers remain confident fire will not reach secured containment lines at this time.

The Elk Fire, located on the Bighorn National Forest, was detected Friday, September 27, 2024. The Fire is approximately 15 miles northwest of Dayton, Wyoming. Firefighters, airtankers and a helicopter initially responded to the fire. Moisture from a recent weather system has reduced fire behavior.

The Elk Fire is in heavy dead and down timber. The terrain is rough and remote and has made it challenging for firefighters to get in or out of the incident.

CURRENT SITUATION:  We have now reached 100% containment on the Peak Fire. Firefighters are transitioning into suppression repair, while remaining diligent on patrol looking for any hot spots. Crews will continue mopping up on the interior of the burned area, adding water on any smoldering stump holes, and down trees whenever it is safe to do so.  Weakened trees and snags continue to be a concern for firefighter safety. We greatly appreciate the public’s help and understanding by abiding by the Forest Order Closure.

On October 11th the Forest Order went into effect restricting access into the Herring Creek, Hammill Canyon Loop. Active fire and hazardous standing trees, and their proximity to roads and trails are clear indicators that the fire area is dangerous. Our number one priority is for firefighter and public safety. 

FIRE RESTRICTIONS: Forest Order No. STF-16-2024-11, Stanislaus National Forest, Peak Fire Closure. This Order is effective from October 11, 2024, through December 5, 2024, within the National Forest System lands, roads, and trails. The Order is necessary to ensure that firefighting efforts continue unimpeded and to protect the public from the hazards associated with actively burning fire behavior, or until replaced or rescinded.

Summary: 

The Elkhorn Fire started on October 5, 2024, approximately 8 miles south and 5 miles east of Watford City, ND. The fire rapidly spread in a south easterly direction driven by strong northwest winds. Local, state, and federal, resources responded to the incident. Because of the strong winds and rugged badlands terrain, suppression efforts were difficult. The fire has burned approximately 10,000 acres in a mix of private, state, and federal land. 

This is a full suppression fire. Local, state, and federal resources are working together to meet suppression objectives.

WEATHER DISCUSSION: Upper-level ridging amplifying along the coast and a trough moving away to the east will continue to bring breezy N to NE winds today with locally strong gusts possible along ridges and through channeled terrain areas through the morning. RHs which remained rather dry last night will continue to lower today with Min RHs in the mid to upper teens today & Fri and high temperatures in the upper 70s. Poor overnight RH recoveries of 25-30% will continue along slopes & ridges tonight with thermal belt impacts strengthening due to the influence of the upper-level ridge.

CURRENT CONDITIONS: Currently the Shoe Fire is at 5,127 acres with 52% containment.  Resources assigned include 10 helicopters, 29 crews, 56 engines, 18 bulldozers, 21 water tenders, 16 masticator, 1 feller-buncher and 1 excavator.   Crews continue to make significant improvement with securing control lines.  

California Team 13 will transfer command to the Pacific Northwest Team 12 on October 25th. Firefighters have commenced the withdraw of up to five miles of hose lays and heavy equipment from divisions that have been contained and mopped up. Hot, dry and windy conditions persist today across the fire today. Fire crews continue to mop up and secure areas of concern around the clock to ensure the fire stays within the current containment lines. Aircraft will remain on standby to provide suppression support. Incident personnel are actively collaborating with resource advisors to repair and safeguard areas affected by fire damage. Resource advisors work in conjunction with operations to protect cultural, natural, and other forest resources.

UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) took flight alongside crews to complete a firing operation that was instrumental in completing line around the Shoe Fire....  but what is a UAS you ask?

A UAS, or Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) is the totality of everything that makes a Drone work including its GPS module, ground control module, transmission systems, camera, all the software, attached devices (specialty cameras, firing devices, etc.) and the person on the ground controlling the drone. To put it simply, a drone, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is simply a component of a Unmanned Aerial System.

PSD’s – or Plastic Spherical Dispenser are a specialized device that releases plastic ping-pong balls filled with potassium permanganate.  The device then injects the balls with glycol which causes the ball to ignite within 20 to 40 seconds, depending on temperature and relative humidities.  PSD’s can be used from helicopters or Drones

INITIAL CONDITION: Firefighters from the US Forest Service and CAL FIRE Shasta-Trinity Unit responded to a reported fire 12 miles southwest of Big Bend on October 9, 2024.  The Shoe Fire moved rapidly uphill and to the north into an area with limited access, rugged terrain, and limited recent fire history.  This fire is a Full-Suppression Wildfire.  Firefighters are fighting the fire both in the air and on the ground. Structure defense is in place in key areas.  

Multiple structures, campgrounds, Devil’s Rock-Hosselkus Natural Research Area and power infrastructure is threatened, as well as road closures and mandatory evacuations. Private timberlands are located north of the fire. Numerous significant cultural resources, and habitats associated with limestone are threatened.

For additional information, please follow https://www.facebook.com/2024ShoeFire/

EVACUATIONS:  Effective at 1:00pm on 10/22/24, the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office is reducing the Evacuation ORDER for zone LKH-1448-B to an Evacuation WARNING.  Residents and visitors should expect heavy equipment and vehicles on connecting roads/highways. 

For the most updated evacuation orders please contact the Shasta County Sheriff’s Department or visit Genasys Protect.

FOREST CLOSURE ORDER:  The Shasta-Trinity National Forest has issued an Emergency Forest Closure Order for lands surrounding the Shoe Fire.  This Forest Order is effective immediately, and can be adjusted as the fire progresses.  See the details by clicking on the Forest Closure Order, Forest Closure Order Map, and Forest Closure Order Map for the Shasta Lake.

HUNTERS:  This fire is within California Deer Hunting Zone C-2.  Hunters and OHV riders in the area need to be cognizant of evacuation orders and road closures.  Please stay safe and far away from this area, as fire conditions can change rapidly.

SMOKE IMPACTS: View the interactive map at https://www.airnow.gov/wildfires/ to see real time air quality levels in your area.  If you are healthy, you're usually not at a major risk from short-term exposures to smoke. Still, it's a good idea to avoid breathing smoke if you can help it. Everyone should take the steps below when wildfires are present.  See Reduce Your Smoke Exposure for helpful suggestions when it’s smoky outside.

STATE-WIDE FUELS ADVISORY: Elevated to extreme ERC (Energy Release Component) values, low fuel moistures, and above average herbaceous (Grass) fuel loads across the state could result in a fire environment that is far more flammable heading into October than is typical for the time of year.  (View Fuels Advisory PDF). 

DRONE SAFETY - KNOW WHERE YOU CAN FLY:  Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at Home - Know Before You Fly . “If you fly, we can’t!” 

Fire Aircraft operate inside of a Temporary Flight Restriction, a cleared and safe environment where firefight aircraft can focus more on the fire, and less on other aircraft.   A map and additional information for the Shoe Fire’s TFR can be found at https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_7697.html

Several firefighting aircraft have been and will be continuously working the Shoe Fire including night operations.   The public is advised to stay out of the area of as this is an active and ongoing incident.

MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES: 

CONTROL OBJECTIVES: 

ABOUT THE FOREST:  The Shasta-Trinity National Forest is the largest National Forest in California, encompassing 2.2 million acres with over 6,278 miles of streams and rivers. It ranges from 1,000 in elevation (Shasta Lake and its general area) to the spectacular Mt. Shasta with its impressive elevation of 14,179 feet.

The Shasta-Trinity National Forest area is one of the most culturally complex regions in California encompassing a varied and rich Native American cultural heritage. Cultural resources distributed throughout the forest, range from archaeological remains of past life ways to sacred sites utilized by contemporary Native American peoples. The forest works with eleven federally recognized tribes include the Redding Rancheria, Resighini Rancheria, Pit River Tribe, Hoopa Valley Tribe, The Klamath Tribes, Quartz Valley Indian Reservation, Round Valley Reservation, Yurok Tribe, the Karuk Tribe, Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians, and Moduc Nation of Oklahoma; and with eight non-federally recognized tribes include Winnemem Wintu Tribe, Tsnungwe Tribe, Nor-Rel-Muk Wintu Nation, Wintu Tribe of Northern California and Toyon-Wintu Center, Wintu of Hayfork, The Moduc Nation, The Shasta Nation Inc., and Shasta Indian Nation. 

The STNF includes portions of five designated Wilderness Areas: Castle Crags, Chanchellulla, Mount Shasta, Trinity Alps and Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel. The main branch of the Trinity River is a designated Wild and Scenic River which runs through the forest. A 154 mile section of the Pacific Crest Trail runs in an east - west direction across the STNF. The Trinity Heritage and the Trinity River Scenic Byways are two scenic drives in the area.

The burn was declared a wildfire at approximately 4 p.m. on the 14th when attempts to control “slopover” or areas where the prescribed fire escaped containment lines were unsuccessful. The DNRC is managing the wildfire response. The fire is 95% contained as of October 22 and will be in patrol status as of October 23rd.

The Evergreen Forest Fire was detected late in the afternoon on Thursday, October 17, in the vicinity of the Chengwatana State Forest, east of Pine City, Minnesota. The fire is estimated to be 140 acres burning in a remote are of the State Forest mainly in lowland swamp and heavy timber. There are no known threats to structures or infrastructure. 

The Minnesota DNR is leading the response, and initially received mutual aid support from the Pine City Fire Department. Multiple aircraft capable of dropping water and fire retardant have been utilized to help cool and slow down the active fire along the edges, which helps support the firefighters, engines and other heavy equipment working to control the fire on the ground.  

After Thursday’s extreme fire weather event, conditions have improved slightly with humidity recovering above 25% and calmer winds, but near-critical fire weather remains a concern. The area is experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions, and wildfires that develop in these conditions are requiring more effort to control and extinguish.

CURRENT INFORMATION: 


October 19, 2024, P.M., today firefighters worked to engage and contain fire in the Iron Fork Canyon area via aircraft and on the ground. Throughout the day there was minimal growth of acreage within the fire contingency line. Fire continues to burn in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness within extremely steep rugged terrain. Tonight aircraft will continue to drop water on hot spots.

State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Rd) remains temporarily closed until further notice (only residents/property owners with proof are allowed in).

 

As of October 19, 2024, A.M, approximately 250 additional acres have burned since yesterday’s strong Santa Ana winds. The fire is 99% contained but not controlled or fully out. Some of the unconfined portions are in extremely difficult terrain, difficult to access. With strong winds and pockets of fuel still smoldering for days, a flare up near the containment line spread to unburned fuel in the Iron Fork Canyon area. This is in the remote area in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness.  Firefighters are working with aircraft and on the ground to engage and contain fire in this area. The fire may continue to grow until containment efforts are successful.  There are no evacuation orders in place. There are no new or recent injuries. 

Due to strong Santa Ana winds (high winds up to 50 mph), State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Road) in the Angeles National Forest is closed until further notice. (Only residents/property owners with proof are being allowed in.) California Highway Patrol officers are onsite diverting traffic. Due to this closure, there is no access to Crystal Lake Campground, Coldbrook Campground, San Gabriel Canyon Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area, the San Gabriel River or other sites in this area. 

If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it. Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time.

FOREST CLOSURE ORDERS: The Angeles National Forest has issued a Bridge Fire Area Closure Order from October 18, 2024, through December 31, 2025. This closure order covers only National Forest System roads, trails, and other facilities impacted by the Bridge Fire within the Angeles National Forest. This order replaces the previous closure order that started on September 21, 2024, through December 31, 2025.
 

ROAD CLOSURES: 


Additional closures may still be in place on roads managed and maintained by other agencies inside the forest. Most major roads in the Angeles National Forest are not managed or maintained by the Forest Service. We recommend also checking Caltrans (https://roads.dot.ca.gov/), the Los Angeles County Road Closures list (https://dpw.lacounty.gov/roadclosures/) and the San Bernardino County Road Conditions (https://dpw.sbcounty.gov/operations/road-closures/) list for updates.  


EFFECTS OF THE BRIDGE FIRE ON THE ANGELES NATIONAL FOREST:

A team of specialists (called a Burned Area Emergency Response Team) came to study the effects of the Bridge Fire on Angeles National Forest lands. Information has just been released with information about their findings. Learn more.


IF YOU FLY, WE CAN’T!  

Drones pose a serious risk to firefighting and can cause air operations to cease. When drones interfere with firefighting efforts, a wildfire has the potential to grow larger and cause more damage. A FAA Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in effect and any private aircraft or drone that violates the TFR could face serious criminal charges. For more information on drones the public can visit the FAA’s website at www.KnowBeforeYouFly.org.


BACKGROUND: 

On Sunday, Sept. 8, at 2:40 p.m., Angeles National Forest firefighters responded to a reported wildfire in the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument in the East Fork area by Cattle Canyon Bridge along Camp Bonita Road. 

On Saturday, Oct. 5, the incident was lowered to a Type 4 incident. This means complexity and needs of this incident are going down. However, unburned pockets of fuel (grasses, brush, trees, etc.) within the perimeter of the burned area of the Bridge Fire may flare up and smoke/flames could be visible.

Oct. 24, 2024.  A flight over the fire during the afternoon of Oct. 24 enabled the assessment of the fire area, which is estimated to encompass 304 acres within the McCormick Wilderness. Warmer temperatures resulted in drying of the litter layer, though there was no apparent additional growth of the fire.  At this time, there are no threatened structures. 

Closures: A closure is now in effect for the northern half of the McCormick Wilderness that lies within T50N R29W and T50N and R30W, including the Yellow Dog Trailhead. The closure order and associated map are available of the website of the Ottawa National Forest (www.fs.usda.gov/detail/ottawa/notices/?cid=FSEPRD640455)  and here on the Summit Lake Fire InciWeb site.

Current actions: To the north and east, the fire has been stalled by wetlands and lakes, allowing firefighters to continue to strengthen firelines on the southwest flank of the fire in the vicinity of private lands. Crews have identified and scouted a contingency line along a ridge to the west of the southwest flank of the fire. If necessary, crews will develop this control line to provide an additional measure of security for private lands to the south and west of the fire.

Fire activity: Warmer and dryer conditions occurred over the fire today, with winds that contributed to drying.  With the drying of leaf litter we continue to see a pattern of patchy burning with areas of consumed leaf litter and pockets of smoldering dead and down heavy woody debris. 

Discovery date: October 18, 2024.  Cause remains under investigation.

Location: Northwest corner of the McCormick Wilderness between Summit Lake and Evergreen Lake. The McCormick Wilderness is located in Baraga County, 12.5 miles north of Michigamme, MI.  

Estimated size:  304 acres. A flight over the fire occurred during the afternoon of Oct. 24 enabling assessment of the fire area.  Fire growth occurred in the days before the rains we received on Oct. 23.  A flight to estimate the area of the fire wasn’t available until the 24th. 

Resources: Total staffing of 45 individuals.  Two single engine air tankers and one Type III helicopter are assigned to the fire.

The Lard Fire started on the afternoon of October 22, 2204. Combined long term drought, high winds, and low relative humidity ahead of a cold front caused rapid growth on the fire.  Firefighters and aircraft responded and actively began fire suppression efforts.  There was a drop in acres because of more accurate mapping. 

Crews and aircraft will be committed to this incident until 100% contained 

 

Please do not fly drones in the area of ongoing wildfires. It is unsafe for air resources and impedes firefighting efforts.

CURRENT INFORMATION:
October 20 - P.M. Update: 

Firefighters continue to work in difficult conditions primarily focused in the Iron Fork Canyon area. Due to improved weather with less wind, as of October 20, 2024, 8:00 p.m. State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Rd) is now open to the public.


October 20 - A.M. Update: 
The Bridge Fire has grown by 346 acres since Friday. However, with a contingency line around the fire, it is still 99% contained. 

Last night, aircraft worked through the night dropping water on hot spots with success.

Firefighters working the Bridge Fire continue their work to contain and secure a flare up in Iron Fork Canyon in the Sheep Mountain Wilderness. There are increased threats due to this week's predicted strong Santa Ana winds. This is very difficult and rugged terrain. 

State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Rd) remains temporarily closed until further notice. (Only residents/property owners with proof are allowed in). California Highway Patrol officers are onsite diverting traffic. Due to this closure, there is no access to Crystal Lake Campground, Coldbrook Campground, San Gabriel Canyon Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area, the San Gabriel River, or other sites in this area.

CURRENT INFORMATION:

October 23 Update:

Improved weather conditions, primarily a significant reduction in winds, have enabled firefighters and aircraft to make progress at limiting the Bridge Fire's spread and securing the fire in its current footprint. Extensive aerial delivery of fire retardant in the last 48 hours has contributed to this progress. 

If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it. Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time.
