Tiger Island Fire Smoke Report 9-4-23

Tiger Island Fire
Publication Type: News -

Special Statement 
Visibility can be reduced in areas with both smoke and fog. Exercise caution if driving in these conditions. The Hwy. 113 and Hwy. 10 crossings of Ten Mile Creek are where this is most likely.
Fire 
The four fires in the area are Tiger Island (31,342 ac); Elizabeth (878 ac); Hwy. 113 (7,321 ac) and Lions Camp Rd.(790 ac). Lower potential for fire activity today because of firefighters’ work and higher humidity. 
Smoke 
Expect low levels of smoke near fires and on roads adjacent to them. Heat scorched leaves and pine needles have started to fall and could support reburn. There would be increased smoke levels in the immediate vicinity where this occurs. There is a chance for thunderstorms with gusty and erratic winds that could move smoke in any direction. Smoke from the Tiger Island Fire will be most apparent in the Merryville and Junction areas. Smoke from the Elizabeth and Hwy. 113 fires will be most noticeable in the Cora area and between the two fires. There was very little smoke from the Lions Camp Rd Fire yesterday. Light smoke may occur today on roads within the fire perimeter. All monitor locations should see less smoke today due to less fire activity and south winds. Expect mostly GOOD levels of smoke with periods of MODERATE today and tomorrow.
