Trail Ridge Fire
Approx. 5 miles SE Sula, MT
Approx. 11 miles NW of Big Hole National Battlefield
Size: 18,138 acres Completion: 80%
Personnel: 37
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.
Trail Ridge Closure has been rescinded effective October 24, 2023
This will be the last update for the Trail Ridge Fire. If you want information, please call the Darby RD or the Wisdom RD.

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.
As of Wednesday, July 10, the fire is now 99% contained at 3,711 acres.
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 fire cause is natural, due to a lightning strike. It is burning in heavy timber, Pinyon-Juniper, sagebrush and grass. The fire is currently being managed by Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team 2 utilizing full suppression, confine/contain and value protection strategies.
Incident Objectives include:
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.

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

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

As of October 18, 2024, the increase of northeast winds (Santa Ana winds) is causing interior heat sources (unburned grasses, brush, trees, etc.) to kick up smoke within the Bridge Fire perimeter. Firefighters are monitoring the smoke and any reports of flames, continuing to assess engagement and threats to the fire's containment line. The Angeles National Forest is aware of visible smoke in the Acorn Canyon and the Iron Fork Canyon areas.
If you see smoke or flames, dial 9-1-1 to report it.
Due to strong Santa Ana winds, State Route 39 (San Gabriel Canyon Road) in the Angeles National Forest is closed until further notice. 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.
Unburned brush, trees, grasses, etc., may continue to flare up and smoke could be visible from within the fire's perimeter for some time.

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.
*** Red Flag Warning in effect from 1100 Thursday through 1700 Saturday ***
WEATHER DISCUSSION: An inside slider type upper-level trough passage to the N & E has brought strong dry offshore flow to the area today through Saturday morning. N-NW winds which developed along ridges last night will begin mixing down and channeling through terrain gaps this morning and strengthening substantially late morning through the afternoon with RHs lowering steadily through the day. Winds will become more predominantly N to NE Thu night through Fri morning and continue to strengthen along ridges and channeled terrain area with RHs continuing to lower rapidly. Peak wind speeds will diminish slightly Fri afternoon but increase again in NE to SW running terrain gaps and along ridges Fri night with little to no overnight RH recovery.
CURRENT CONDITIONS: Currently the Shoe Fire is at 4,278 acres with 8% containment. Resources assigned include 15 helicopters, 29 crews, 81 engines, 24 bulldozers, 21 water tenders, 4 masticator, and 1 excavator. Crews continue to make significant improvement with securing control lines. No firing operations are planned due to the red flag conditions and high winds.
A red flag warning is currently in effect today until Saturday afternoon. Ground crews have been engaged in reinforcing existing containment lines through use of dozers and hand crews. Overall fire conditions have shown improvement; overnight infrared readings have shown less heat and minimal growth from the previous day. Additional resources continue to arrive to provide further support. Structural assessment teams are actively evaluating risks to residential properties along the Fenders Ferry corridor. A mobile retardant base has been established in Big Bend. These mobile retardant bases function as portable facilities that mix and store fire retardant, thereby enhancing aerial firefighting operations if needed.

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

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.

Trail Ridge Fire
Approx. 5 miles SE Sula, MT
Approx. 11 miles NW of Big Hole National Battlefield
Size: 18,138 acres Completion: 80%
Personnel: 37
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.
Trail Ridge Closure has been rescinded effective October 24, 2023

", "field_incident_overview": "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.
As of Wednesday, July 10, the fire is now 99% contained at 3,711 acres.
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 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.
All evacuations for Harney and Grant Counties have been lifted as of 8/20/2024.
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.

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.

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

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:

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 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Current Situation: Yesterday, resources were downsized in advance of the incoming weather. Remaining personnel include a hand crew, engine crew, a falling module, equipment operators, and overhead. The plan for today includes patrolling around the structures and roads in the Edwardsburg area, looking for and removing fallen trees on the roadways, and checking for debris that may have been washed down from steep, recently burned terrain. A road-grader arrived on scene yesterday and will assist firefighters with road maintenance in the fire area and on access roads including the Big Creek Road and the Johnson Creek Road, working potentially as far south as Warm Lake. A chipper and a small masticator are expected to arrive at the fire today, and they will help with suppression repair and fuel reduction, primarily in the Edwardsburg area.
Evacuations: Valley County Sheriff's Office has lifted the evacuation level.
Closures: The Logan Fire has a closure around the fire on the Krassel Ranger District and the map and description are located at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/payette/alerts-notices.

*** Red Flag Warning for Gusty Wind and Low RH in effect through 1700 Saturday ***
WEATHER DISCUSSION: Gusty N to NE winds will continue through this morning, favoring channeled
terrain areas before diminishing in the afternoon as the offshore pressure gradient weakens. Following
very poor recoveries last night, RHs will drop into the lower teens this afternoon with temps warming
another ten degrees as compared to yesterday’s highs. Lighter but still locally breezy N to NE winds will
continue tonight through Sunday morning before shifting to breezy SW winds Sunday afternoon.
CURRENT CONDITIONS: Currently the Shoe Fire is at 4,611 acres with 22% containment. Resources assigned include 15 helicopters, 29 crews, 81 engines, 24 bulldozers, 21 water tenders, 4 masticator, and 1 excavator. Crews continue to make significant improvement with securing control lines. No firing operations are planned due to the red flag conditions and high winds.
A red flag warning is in effect until later this afternoon. High winds have significantly accelerated the drying conditions of local fuels, resulting in a decrease in fuel moisture levels. Ground crews will prioritize areas showing intense levels of heat by reinforcing existing containment lines using various aircraft, bulldozers, engines and hand crews. With a mobile retardant base established in Big Bend, aerial support will be maximized to ensure full suppression of heat reported along Beartrap and Sulunhares Creeks. Structure protection groups will conduct final risk assessments today and prepare structures for defense if deemed necessary. As wind speeds reduce, crews will resume defensive firing operations (strategic burning of vegetation between containment lines and the active fire) if it is safe to do so.
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: Mandatory Evacuation for Zone LKH-1448-B in the vicinity of Fenders Ferry Road at Wheeler Nursery Road.

If you have previously signed up with CodeRed and would like to continue to receive alerts, you must register for AlertShasta. Click HERE to register.
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.
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. Additional information regarding an Emergency Forest Closure will be coming in the next few days. Please stay safe and far away from this area, as fire conditions can change rapidly.
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 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.
Current resources on scene include 9 engines, 4 heavy equipment resources, two Type 2 helicopters plus helitack personnel, one Type 2 hand crew, and one Type 1 Interagency Hotshot crew (IHC). With reduced fire activity and the shift in focus from suppression to mop up, the fire transitioned Friday evening to a less complex organizational structure with a Type 4 Incident Commander. There will be no further news releases unless conditions change.

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.
