Trout Fire: 22,231 acres - 20% containment

Long Fire: 9,204 acres - 30% containment

Borel Fire: 3,092 acres - 0% containment

Total Personnel: 1,117

Current Situation: Over the last week tremendous progress has been made on the Trout Fire and Long Fire. Containment continues to increase, and the work of building control lines remains a priority. The appropriate resources remain assigned to each fire to ensure containment continues to increase. On the Borel Fire today, a wave of resources are being sent into communities to provide structure protection. Additionally, firefighters will continue with their assignment to create a control line from Hwy 178 along the fire’s southern edge toward Breckenridge Meadows and Havilah. Evacuation warnings and orders have been issued for multiple zones (see below). Everyone in areas of active fires should “Know Your Zone.” Go to genasys Protect (tinyurl.com/jcdv55f9) to identify the zone you reside in.

Trout Fire: Fire growth was minimal Thursday despite warm, dry, windy conditions, allowing crews to make significant progress suppressing hotspots directly on the fire’s edge. On the western perimeter, dozer operators have nearly completed fireline construction to Big Meadow. On the southern perimeter, crews camping in the Domeland Wilderness are extinguishing lingering areas of heat and constructing handlines from Sirretta Pass toward Smith Meadow. 

Long Fire: Fire activity remains moderate, primarily creeping and smoldering. Some unburned pockets of vegetation on the fire’s interior may continue to produce smoke. However, crews report there are no areas of heat posing a threat to their existing containment lines. Firefighters are constructing handlines from the head of the fire near the Pacific Crest Trail, moving southwest toward Palome Creek. 

Borel Fire: Wednesday afternoon, the Borel Fire started burning along State Route 178 near Democrat Springs. Yesterday, under red flag weather conditions the fire exhibited extreme fire behavior and grew to more than 3,000 acres. Since its start, firefighters have successfully kept the fire south of SR 178. The Democrat Fire Station was threatened yesterday, but crews made a stand and defended it. Today, operations will focus on protecting Breckenridge Meadows, Piute Meadows Ranches, and Havilah, while maintaining the strong control line of SR 178. A vast army of resources will be attacking the fire from the air and ground, including resources from the Kern County Fire Department to benefit from their local knowledge of the areas affected.

Weather & Air Quality: The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning through Saturday, July 27 at 11 p.m. for low relative humidity and elevated winds. Fire behavior on new and existing fires could be extreme. Hot, dry conditions are expected today with wind gusts up to 35 mph possible. Westerly winds will remain elevated on ridgetops throughout Friday night.

Cougar Creek Fire Update for Friday July 26, 2024 

KEY MESSAGES:  

Air operations continued on the fire yesterday assisting in securing the perimeter. Incident Officials are working with local communities to provide aerial support including the Bighorn, Gwen and River fires. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Initial Attack resources remain to assist in suppression of critical fires in the vicinity. Due to the quick response efforts of DNR crews, initial attack of a lightning strike near Anatone was successfully lined and mopped up. 

CURRENT STATUS: 

In the Wenatchee Creek drainage, fire crews are working to secure and tie in control lines to the contained flank of the fire.  This will free up resources to reengage fire suppression operations on the west flank where firefighters continue to build indirect line.  After a successful tactical ignition on the east flank of the fire north of the contained Hanson Ridge area, crews are checking for smoke and hotspots and enhancing direct line construction. Grouse Flats remains a priority to protect property on the southwest side of the fire. 

FIRE BEHAVIOR AND WEATHER: 

Ridgetop winds will be lighter and will switch back to the southeast. A slight warming trend is still in the forecast for the weekend, along with a chance of thunderstorms again for early next week.  Fuels will remain exceptionally dry. These conditions will maintain active fire spread. Fire spread will be in the north and west areas of the fire. 

EVACUATIONS AND CLOSURES:  

Forest closure descriptions and maps are available online on the Umatilla National Forest Closure page. In Washington, evacuation notices are posted on the Asotin County Sheriff webpage and Asotin County Emergency Management  Facebook page. Grande Ronde Road is closed from Troy, Oregon to Highway 129 junction in Washington.  In Oregon, a level 2 evacuation is in effect for Wallowa County, including all of Grouse Flat from Bear Creek Rd north to the State boundary and the Garfield County line to Grande Ronde River.

Lost Bucket Fire Now in Patrol and Maintain Status 

As of this morning, the seven fires in the Homestead Complex total 1,179 acres. Suppression tactics are being prioritized by threat to property, infrastructure, industry, and areas with the highest probability of success. 306 resources are assigned, including hand crews, engines, water tenders, dozers, feller bunchers and skidgens. 

Firefighters completed removing the hoselay on the Lost Bucket Fire (35 acres). The majority of resources from Lost Bucket will now be assisting the Salmon 33 Fire, as well as the No Man Fire. Remaining resources will continue to maintain and patrol the control lines around Lost Bucket.  

Last night, a hotshot crew camped out near the Salmon 33 Fire (133 acres) to maximize opportunities to construct fireline during cooler evening and morning conditions, when the fire is less active. On the No Man Fire (350 acres), crews and heavy equipment operators have been making progress constructing fireline. On the east side of No Man Fire, staff are improving existing roads to use as containment line. Great Basin Team 5 is coordinating with cooperators west of the fire to construct indirect control lines.  

The Horse Heaven Creek Fire (371 acres) continues to be the most active fire in the complex. Handcrews, engines, and heavy equipment are building direct and indirect containment lines on the north and east sides of the fire.  

The Reynolds Butte Fire (104 acres) showed minimal activity yesterday. Crews continue building indirect firelines and laying hose. Firefighters are using information from scouting missions the past few days to develop plans for direct and indirect firelines when resources are available to be assigned to the Fuller Lake Fire (61 acres) and Bullpup Fire (125 acres). 

Winds will remain light today, but the temperature is expected to increase slightly. Reduced cloud cover in the morning and lower relative humidity could lead to a moderate increase in fire activity. However, the overall fire activity is expected to remain minimal. Local smoke outlooks can be found online at: https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/d393fd74. 

Area fire restrictions and danger ratings are as follows: Fire Danger Rating: High. Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPLs): 2. Public Use Fire Restrictions (PURs): 2.  

 CLOSURES: Umpqua National Forest has issued two closures across the forest in response to fire activity to protect public and wildland firefighter safety. Emergency Fire Closure ORDER NO. 06-15-24-03 and Emergency Fire Closure ORDER NO. 06-15-02-24-01 which impact all of the Cottage Grove Ranger District, most of the Diamond Lake Ranger District, and parts of the Tiller and North Umpqua Ranger Districts. The closure orders can be found here: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/umpqua/alerts-notices. 

KEY MESSAGE 

The fire has seen no increase in acreage. Around the fire area crews have moved into “mop-up” and patrol status. Firefighters are assisting with new fire starts around the area. 

CURRENT STATUS 

There has been no fire growth or heat detected outside of the lines following the weather event Wednesday night. Crews continue with their “mop-up” operations and patrol, working along the previously constructed handline around the fire’s perimeter. Firefighters are well prepared to respond to any increases in fire activity, and work continues to strengthen existing containment lines. In the southeastern section of the fire, crews have halted progression of the fire with special focus on the values at risk and connecting lines to the Northeast. The I-90 corridor remains a vital value and is the priority for the heavy equipment. Additionally, firefighters and aviation resources have been assisting with new ignitions around the area. 

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR 

Despite the gusty winds and Red Flag conditions, previously constructed firelines held. A westerly upper-level wind flow moved into the region and is expected to remain there over the next several days. This weather pattern will result in more seasonal temperatures for this time of year. Afternoon humidities will continue to drop into the teens each day. The fire location will experience westerly winds each afternoon into the evenings, but gusts on the ridges are not expected to be overly excessive. 

CLOSURES  

Lower Miller Creek Road is closed from debris due to the storm. A temporary flight restriction is in effect over the fire area. An area and road closure around the fire is in effect due to hazardous conditions resulting from fire activity. Stage II fire restrictions are in effect in the area. Specific closure information and maps are posted on InciWeb at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/mtlnf-miller-peak-fire and https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/lolo/alerts-notices as they are implemented.  

Ore Fire Update
Friday, July 26, 2024 – 9:00 a.m.

Size: 1223 acres | Reported Date: July 16, 2024 | Cause: Under Investigation | Containment: 3%
Total Assigned Personnel: 304 | 8 engines | 5 hand crews | 3 dozers | 20 water tenders | 4 masticators | 4 feller bunchers

(Blue River, Ore.) – Fire suppression efforts continue on the Ore Fire, which is burning 7 miles northeast of Blue River, Oregon. Challenges include steep and rugged terrain, rolling rocks and debris and fire-weakened trees. Firefighter and public safety remain the number one priority on the incident. Fire managers are focusing on activities with a high probability of success while minimizing risk to firefighters and protecting values such as communities, infrastructure and forest, recreation and cultural resources. To the north, fire managers are continuing to evaluate placement of control lines to further reduce the amount of landscape that will be affected by the fire. Despite increased fire activity and growth in the southern portion, crews are containing the fire along roadways to protect critical values.

Yesterday, the line was tested by the burning debris and logs rolling onto FS 1509 Road near Ore Creek. Heavy equipment operators cleared these roadways, allowing crews to quickly resume their work. Firefighters installed pumps, hose lays and sprinklers to pre-treat the unburned side of the road, raising the overall humidity and resulting in fuels being less receptive to fire.

Today, firefighters are extending plumbing along FS 1509 Road northwest of Ore Creek. Dozers arebeing utilized to connect the FS 15 Road to the FS 501 Road. Vegetation removal will begin north of the fire on FS Road 1513, and crews will chip the woody debris into finer, more manageable material, returning it to the forest floor.

The H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest near Blue River is one of the significant values at risk identified by the Willamette National Forest. This area holds important cultural and scientific value, as it has been the site of long-term research on climate, streamflow, water quality, vegetation succession, biogeochemical cycling, and the effects of forest management for almost 70 years. Firefighters are holding the fire north of FS 15 Road to protect this forest, its timeless resources and other values at risk from the Ore Fire. To learn more, visit the Ore Fire Facebook page: www.facebook.com/orefireinformation2024. 

Weather: A northerly flow will bring warmer and drier conditions this afternoon with light, terrain-driven winds. Temperatures will be near normal. A passing cold front Monday into Tuesday will bring a chance of rain.

Safety: While the Ore Fire is not threatening homes, wildfire season is just beginning. Sign-up now to receive critical alerts about wildfires and other emergencies at https://www.lanecounty.org/sign_up_for_notifications.

Hours: 08:00 AM to 8:00 PM

Email:2024.Hill@firenet.gov

Incident Website:

https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/casrf-hill-fire

https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2024/7/16/hill-fire

Location: Humboldt County, CA

Size: 7111 acres

Cause: Under Investigation

Start Date: Monday July 15, 2023, at 5:40 PM

Percent contained: 17%

Personnel: 1699

CURRENT SITUATION: 

The number one priority for firefighters is the Sugarloaf Mountain area, and crews are working around the clock to the keep the fire within established dozer and handlines. 

With the increased humidity and lower temperatures, tactical firing was done yesterday and through the evening, supported by aircraft. This strategy aimed to gradually move the fire down Sugarloaf Mountain toward Forest Road 5N14. This road extends north and connects with a dozer line that ties back to 6N06 Road, creating a perimeter around the fire. These operations have been successful and are ongoing. Activities have been slow and methodical as the steep terrain presents safety issues for the crews. Fire-burned trees, loose soil, and dislodged rocks call for extra awareness. 

Control lines in the north, west, and south are holding firm, with crews actively mopping up and patrolling these areas. They will also focus on removing hazardous trees and those threatening the containment lines.

Contingency line construction continues to the south and along the Hennessy Ridge in the east. The Structure Defense Group has worked with local agencies to evaluate residences, roadways, and other values at risk. 

WEATHER:

Today, conditions will get better with more marine influence. The inversion layer will help humidity levels go up, reaching mostly above 30 percent during the day. Temperatures will also drop, staying mostly below 80 degrees. Winds will be mostly influenced by the terrain, blowing from the northwest at higher elevations in the afternoon.
