Ore Fire Update
Wednesday, July 24, 2024 – 9:30 a.m.

Size: 860 acres | Reported Date: July 16, 2024 | Cause: Under Investigation
Total Assigned Personnel: 301 | 8 engines | 4 hand crews | 3 dozers | 18 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, falling rocks and rolling debris, fire-weakened trees, and extreme weather conditions. 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 while protecting values such as communities, infrastructure and forest, recreation and cultural resources.

Last night’s community meeting in Blue River was well attended and the Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 expresses its appreciation for the community’s support and engagement. 

Yesterday, burning debris rolling down the steep slopes caused fire to slopover (cross) the control line at the FS 1509 Road about a mile from the FS 15 Road junction. Ground crews, assisted by aviation resources, secured this slopover, but falling debris will remain a challenge in the southwest portion where the fire is most active. An engine patrolled and monitored through the night. Road grading was completed along the FS 1509 Road, north of Tidbits Trailhead. Firefighters successfully held the fire at the FS 15 Road, and heat is diminishing along the established control line. 

Today, crews will monitor the slopover, and patrol the rest of the southwest line as the fire continues backing down to FS 1509. Feller bunchers and masticators will follow the road grading operations above Tidbits Trailhead to strengthen the FS 1509 Road. Northeast of the fire, grading operations will begin along the FS 1513 Road.

Weather: Occasional shading from passing clouds will trend temperatures a few degrees cooler and moderate humidity today compared to yesterday. Terrain-driven winds continue for the next few days. A deep marine layer will push onshore tonight, bringing mostly cloudy skies, warmer overnight low temperatures, and excellent humidity recovery.

Safety: Fire danger continues to increase as does the number of fire incidents around the region. The public plays a crucial role in preventing the next wildfire. Your caution with all ignition sources can help avoid causing undue strain on firefighting resources. For prevention tips, visit https://keeporegongreen.org. Fire restrictions are in place within the Willamette National Forest. For more information visit https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/willamette/fire. A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in place over the fire area.

Smoke: Smoke from numerous wildfires burning throughout the state will affect air quality in many areas over the coming days. An Air Resource Advisor is now assigned to the Ore Fire and providing daily smoke outlooks for the affected area at https://wildlandfiresmoke.net.  Being prepared for smoke is important to everyone’s health. For more information go to: www.airnow.gov/wildfires/be-smoke-ready.org/ 

Forest Closures: Closures in the Willamette National Forest have been established around fire-impacted areas. These closures include the following sites: Buck Mountain Trail, Tidbits South and West Trail, Gold Hill Trail, Mona Campground, Lookout Campground, and Saddle Dam Boat Launch.

Highlights

The Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team 6, led by Incident Commander Mack McFarland, assumed command of the Whisky Creek Fire at 6:00 a.m., Wednesday, July 24, 2024. The Complex Incident Management Team brings additional resources and management capabilities to implement a full suppression strategy for the Whisky Creek Fire. The Whisky Creek Fire, a human-caused fire currently under investigation, was first detected on July 20. A community meeting will be held Thursday, July 25, at the Pavilion at Marine Park at 7 p.m.

Operations

Today’s focus is on scouting along the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and the area around the fire looking for opportunities for crews to safely access the fire. No impacts are expected on the PCT at this time, although conditions on a wildfire may quickly change. Work will continue strengthening a contingency line to the north of the fire along the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire burn area.

Cougar Creek Fire Update for Wednesday July 24, 2024 

KEY MESSAGES:  

A significant change in weather arrives today. There is a red flag warning, with strong winds and thunderstorms expected. Wind may become erratic due to a directional wind shift where fire behavior may increase.  A Remote Automatic Weather Station (RAWS) was installed near the Wenatchee Guard Station in order to receive site specific weather data. Residents are encouraged to be aware of weather alerts and changing conditions. 

A community meeting took place at Bartlett Lane-Union Park in the Grouse Flats area yesterday evening where local residents discussed the current fire environment with incident officials. 

CURRENT STATUS: 

Crews continue to engage the fire directly and indirectly, day and night. To the southwest, crews are focusing on the Grouse Flats area and have been working south of 4039 road system along the Forest Service and private boundary, adding new dozer and hand lines. Successful tactical ignition operations were accomplished last night near the primitive 050 road near Hansen Ridge in order to limit eastern expansion of the fire perimeter. Moving the incident helibase from Lewiston to Anatone is complete. This move puts air assets closer to the fire and reduces flight time. 

FIRE BEHAVIOR AND WEATHER: 

A red flag warning is in effect, with possible lightning starting in the afternoon and lasting into the evening. Localized wind gusts may reach speeds of 40 to 50 mph. Temperatures will be in the mid 90s with relative humidity in the mid teens. A cold front will begin to move in during the next few days, dropping the temperature and increasing humidity levels tomorrow. 

EVACUATIONS AND CLOSURES:  

Forest officials are expanding the temporary closure area related to the Cougar Creek Fire. 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. 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. 

In addition to the Keller area Level 3 evacuations put into effect on Wednesday July 24 at 7:30 PM, the evacuation ordered by the Colville Tribes Office of Emergency Management, for the area near Buffalo Lake and McGinnis Lake,  changed to a Level 3 Evacuation (GO) also Wednesday July 24 at 7:30 PM .

Ayer a las 4:00pm la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Santa Bárbara canceló todas las Órdenes de Evacuación y Advertencias de Evacuación previamente establecidas debido al Incendio Lake. Se les solicita a los residentes a tener precaución al regresar a sus hogares ya que el personal de emergencia continúa trabajando en el área. La Orden de Cierre del Bosque Nacional Los Padres todavía está en efecto.

La mayor parte del trabajo en el Incendio Lake ha pasado a la reparación de extinción de las actividades contraincendios. Las cuadrillas y los operadores de equipo pesado han estado ocupados rehabilitando las líneas de buldócer, senderos y caminos alrededor del área del incendio. Las cuadrillas están trabajando hacia el sur desde la Escuela Manzana hasta el perímetro del incendio astillando maleza para reforzar las líneas de control. Después de algunas dificultades para llevar el equipo al área, los trabajos de reparación comenzaron desde Miranda Pines Mountain hacia el suroeste. A lo largo del borde sur del incendio, la reparación de extinción está completa en un 95%. Los bomberos están trabajando con asesores de recursos asignados al incidente para identificar sitios culturales sensibles y caminos y senderos dañados.

Ayer, los vuelos de helicópteros y drones con tecnología de cámaras infrarrojas encontraron muy poco calor en las proximidades de la línea de fuego. Los bomberos continuarán buscando incandescencias hasta que estén seguros de que ya no existe una amenaza para la línea de control establecida. Muchos puntos calientes se están quemando por sí solos a medida que los combustibles pesados ​​se reducen a cenizas.

Previsión para el miércoles: Se espera calor persistente y baja humedad hasta el jueves.

Cierre del área del incendio del lago: Algunos caminos y senderos dentro del Bosque Nacional Los Padres están cerrados. Consulte la Orden de Cierre y el Mapa de Orden de Cierre utilizando los enlaces o visitando el sitio web del Bosque Nacional Los Padres. Los cierres permanecerán en vigor hasta el 18 de agosto de 2024, o hasta que sea revisado o rescindido.

Humo: El Distrito de Control de la Contaminación del Aire del Condado de Santa Barbara (APCD por sus siglas en inglés) y el Departamento de Salud Pública del Condado de Santa Barbara han levantado la Alerta de Calidad del Aire en el Valle de Santa Ynez. La vigilancia de la calidad del aire se mantendrá en todo el condado, y las condiciones de calidad del aire se prevé que sea buena a moderada en todo el condado.

Áreas de evacuación: Se han levantado todas las órdenes y advertencias de evacuación del Incendio Lake. El Sheriff del Condado de Santa Bárbara recomienda a todos los residentes del condado a registrarse para recibir alertas de emergencia en ReadySBC.org.

CURRENT SITUATION: In the past few days, significant progress has been made in opening existing roads and establishing a control line around the perimeter of the fire. Additional crews, fire hose, and pumps are being added to strengthen firefighting efforts. Today, heavy equipment and masticators will continue working north and east around the fire's perimeter. 

FIRE BEHAVIOR: The fire is burning in an old-growth forest with no recent fire activity. Jeff Shelton, Fire Behavior Specialist, shared that he does not see the potential for significant fire activity to occur within the next three days. Shelton explained that due to light winds, the smoke is not dispersing and is acting like a lid to lessen fire activity.   

WEATHER: The weather pattern of weak upper troughing and relatively cool onshore flow will continue for the next several days. Temperatures will remain slightly below normal with elevated humidity and light northwest winds. 

CLOSURES: On July 19th, the Willamette National Forest issued an emergency closure order for the Pyramid Fire to ensure public and firefighter safety. Please refer to the link below for a map of the closure area and a list of trails, recreation areas, and forest roads affected by the fire. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1194122.pdf 

ROADS: Please be mindful of firefighting equipment when driving in the area. Refer to the emergency closure order for forest roads affected by the Pyramid Fire. For information about all other roads, visit the Oregon Department of Transportation website at https://tripcheck.com   

EVACUATIONS: On July 17th, the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with the Forest, issued a level 3: Go Now Evacuation Alert for the closure area affected. No residential structures are threatened. The LEVEL 3: GO NOW! Evacuation Alert is primarily impacting forest and recreation areas.  Please refer to the Linn County Fire Map https://tinyurl.com/LinnCoFireMap for full details of the issued evacuation area (which will appear in red).

Lake Fire Start: Friday, July 5, 2024 at 3:48 p.m.

Cause: Under investigation

Location: Near Zaca Lake in Santa Barbara County, north of Los Olivos, California

Size at time of update: 38,664 acres
Containment: 90%

Personnel: 909

Full Incident Details: https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/calpf-2024-lake-fire

Yesterday at 4:00 p.m. the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office cancelled all Evacuation Orders and Evacuation Warnings previously in place due to the Lake Fire. Residents are urged to take caution when returning home as emergency personnel continue working in the area. The Los Padres National Forest Closure Order is still in place. 

The majority of the work on the Lake Fire has transitioned to fire suppression repair. Crews and heavy equipment operators have been busy rehabilitating dozer lines, trails, and roadways around the fire area. Crews are working to the south from Manzana School House to the fire perimeter chipping brush cut to bolster control lines. After some difficulty getting equipment into the area, repair work has begun from Miranda Pines Mountain to the southwest. Along the southern edge of the fire, suppression repair is 95% complete. Firefighters are working with resource advisors assigned to the incident to identify sensitive cultural sites and damaged roads and trails. 

Yesterday, flights by helicopters and drones with infrared camera technology found very little heat in the vicinity of the fire line. Firefighters will continue to seek out smoldering spots until they are certain there is no longer a threat to the established control line. Many hot spots are burning out on their own as heavy fuels burn down to ash.

Forecast for Wednesday: Persistent heat and low humidity are expected through Thursday. 

Lake Fire Area Closure: Some roads and trails within the Los Padres National Forest are closed. Refer to the Closure Order & Closure Order Map using links or visiting the Los Padres National Forest website. This closure will remain in effect until August 18, 2024, or until revised or rescinded. 

Smoke: The Santa Barbara County Public Health Department and the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (APCD) have lifted the Air Quality Alert in the Santa Ynez Valley. The Air Quality Watch will remain in place countywide, and air quality conditions are forecasted to be good to moderate throughout the county.

Evacuation Areas: All Lake Fire Evacuation Orders and Warnings have been lifted. The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s encourages all county residents to register for emergency alerts at ReadySBC.org. 

Road Closures: Visit the County Road Closure Map for details. 

• Happy Canyon Road at the Forest Service Boundary.
• Figueroa Mountain just north of Midland School.
• Forest Route 10N06.
• Zaca Lake Road east of Foxen Canyon Road.

Trout Fire: 22,105 acres - 7% containment

Long Fire: 9,204 acres - 20% containment

Total Personnel: 1,067

Current Situation: No matter their specific assignment for the day, all firefighters will also be watching for any new fires that may have started from lightning strikes around the Trout Fire and Long Fire yesterday. A dedicated group of resources is available for immediate response if new fires are identified. Yesterday, a lightning-caused fire near Kennedy Meadows was quickly contained by nightfall. Thunderstorms brought up to an inch of rain to the west side of the Trout Fire, with some areas receiving half-inch hail. A remote water dip site has been established in Big Meadow to reduce turnaround time for helicopters conducting water drops. More thunderstorms, though possibly less intense, are predicted this afternoon.

Trout Fire: Tuesday, crews successfully strengthened and held the containment line at Sherman Pass Rd. despite extreme weather conditions. Winds gusted over 30 mph at Bear Peak. More than one hundred lightning strikes were recorded, each one more than 50,000 degrees and easily capable of igniting new fires. Today, the priority will be to use dozers, hotshot crews, and resource advisors to clear old roads and fuel breaks that will serve as a control line from Sherman Pass Rd. south along Mosquito Meadow Rd. to Big Meadow. Additionally, reconnaissance will be conducted between Forest Road 22S77 and Lunch Meadow, where fire behavior has diminished, to insert hotshot crews for fireline construction.

Long Fire: The southwest corner around the South Fork of the Kern River has been challenging to control, but after several days of focused work by hotshot crews, this portion of the fire is now considered contained. As a result of recent severe weather and flash flooding in an older fire footprint, crews have been moved to different areas of the fire. Heavy-equipment operators reopened roads made impassable by a debris flow caused by the combination of bare soils and heavy rain. Today, firefighters will continue constructing handline from the head of the fire near the Pacific Crest Trail southwestward toward Palome Creek. Engine crews will also be working along control lines to extinguish any smoldering fires that could lead to the fire escaping its perimeter.

Weather & Air Quality: Thunderstorms are in the forecast again today, but for a shorter duration and reduced intensity. The most probable areas to see rainfall will be the northern portions of the Trout Fire and Long Fire. Along the southern perimeter of each fire, strong outflow winds are expected. A daily smoke outlook is produced for the areas and communities affected by the 2024 SQF Lightning fires (tinyurl.com/452x2uzr).

Closures & Restrictions: Sequoia National Forest lands, roads, trails, and recreation sites around the Trout and Long Fires are temporarily closed under Forest Order No. 0513-24-12. Fire restrictions are also in effect under Forest Order No. 0513-24-10. Both orders, maps, and accompanying appendices can be found on the Forest’s “Forest Orders” web page: tinyurl.com/2en2d36k. The Bureau of Land Management’s Bakersfield Field Office has temporarily closed Long Valley Campground, Chimney Creek Campground, and portions of the Pacific Crest Trail. View the emergency closure order here: tinyurl.com/4mprcb9b. The PCT is closed between Hwy 178 at Walker Pass (mile 653) and the South Fork of the Kern River bridge (mile 717.7).

Evacuations: Tulare County evacuation warnings are in effect for zones TLC-E274-B and TLC-E261-B. Tulare County evacuation advisories are in effect or zones TLC-E297-A, TLC-E250, TLC-E274-A, and TLC-E261-A.
