Actualización diaria del incendio Pioneer                       

21 de julio de 2024

SITUACIÓN ACTUAL: A las 6:00 am de esta mañana, el Equipo 3 de gestión de incidentes del Noroeste, dirigido por el comandante de incidentes, Lonnie Click, asumió el mando de las operaciones en el incendio Pioneer. "El equipo que salió y los equipos anteriores que han trabajado en el incendio Pioneer hicieron un trabajo excelente y apreciamos la ayuda que el Equipo 12 del Noroeste nos dió para realizar una transición operativa sin problemas", dijo el Comandante de Incidentes Click.

Se ha movilizado la asistencia estatal contra incendios para apoyar en el incendio Pioneer. El jefe de la Patrulla Estatal de Washington, John Batiste, autorizó la movilización de recursos estatales de extinción de incendio bajo el Plan de movilización de recursos de los servicios de bomberos del estado de Washington. La prioridad sigue siendo colaborar con la comunidad para fortalecer la resistencia al fuego de las estructuras e infraestructuras en Stehekin y Manson.

El incendio cruzó Hunts Creek en la ladera norte y ha estado activo en la parte superior de East Fork de Fish Creek. Los encargados del incendiio anticipan que se volverá más activo el fuego en el desague de North Fork Fish Creek. El extremo sur del incendio está principalmente limitado a laderas muy empinadas por arriba de la orilla del lago entre los arroyos Canoe y Lone Fir y se ha desplazado poco.

ACTIVIDADES ACTUALES: Hoy el trabajo de los bomberos se centrará en mejorar la protección alrededor de las estructuras y los recursos cerca de los extremos del incendio. Las cuadrillas continuarán trabajando para estabilizar las carreteras que dan acceso a los bomberos y equipo pesado en el área de Prince Creek. El clima que se espera podría empeorar la actividad del fuego a lo largo de Fish Creek, Hunt's Creek, Flick Creek y Surprise Lake. Las cuadrillas junto con la ayuda de los recursos aéreos, están trabajando activamente para sofocar la actividad del fuego en estas zonas. El incendio Pioneer es uno de extinción completa en el que los bomberos usan estrategias y tácticas que brindan la mayor probabilidad de éxito al tiempo que mitigan los riesgos para los trabajadores de primera línea y el público. Se está considerando todo equipo de extinción con base en la disponibilidad y la eficacia.

CLIMA: Las condiciones meteorológicas críticas siguen provocando áreas de mucha actividad de fuego. El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional ha emitido una advertencia de calor excesivo hasta el lunes a las 8 p.m. Hoy hay una advertencia de bandera roja vigente por las condiciones cálidas, secas e inestables. Las temperaturas se mantendrán entre los 90 y los 100 grados, y a principios de la próxima semana se espera que bajarán.

EVACUACIONES: Los niveles de evacuación de nivel 1, 2 y 3 permanecen vigentes alrededor del incendio Pioneer. Visite https://t.ly/QoH9w para ver más información.

Widespread lightning over the Pacific Northwest on July 16 ignited many wildland fires. Firefighters are detecting, assessing and attacking these fires as they develop. Fires on the Diamond Lake District of the Umpqua National Forest are grouped into the Diamond Complex. 

Currently there are twelve fires totaling an estimated 2,385 acres in the Diamond Complex, under a strategy of full suppression. This means firefighters are directly attacking the fires’ edge where access and firefighter safety allow, and implementing indirect strategies using constructed control lines, and utilizing natural barriers where access issues and safety concerns prevent direct attack. 

The fires currently comprising the Diamond Complex are Pine Bench, 917 acres, north of Hwy 138 near Dry Creek, Trail, 808 acres, east of Hwy 138 on the west slope of Mt. Thielsen; Lemolo, 299 acres, north of Lemolo Lake on Bunker Hill;  Pig Iron, 27 acres, Pig Iron Mountain north of Hwy 138; Watson, 77 acres, north of Hwy 138 on Watson Ridge,  Brodie, 51 acres,  about 5 miles south of Hwy 138 and south of Devils Canyon; Trep, 58 acres, about 4 miles south of Hwy 138; Garwood, 5 acres, about 3 miles southwest of Mt. Bailey; Slide, 0.1 acres, northeast of Pine Bench;  Potter, 127 acres,  north of Hwy 138 about 2 miles southeast of Potter Mt.;  252, 14 acres, north of Hwy 138 about 1 mile northeast of Bird Point;  and Clearwater, 2 acres, south of Hwy 138 about 5 miles northwest of Diamond Lake. 

Yesterday, Northwest Team 7 continued firefighting operations with active suppression on the Trail Fire. Dozer lines are being reinforced with water delivery hose lines from Hwy 138 to the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness boundary. The Pig Iron fire had active suppression activities with ground and aerial resources to protect critical infrastructure. Firefighters worked to keep the Pine Bench fire west of Forest Road 4775 and away from critical infrastructure as the fire moves north into the Boulder Creek Wilderness.

Today, active suppression continues with the Lemolo, Trail, Pig Iron and Pine Bench fires as priorities. As the fires progress, the team will re-prioritize suppression actions. Nationally and in the Pacific Northwest, fire activity is putting an extreme demand on firefighting resources. This means that firefighters must carefully prioritize and efficiently utilize available resources to protect values at risk. The highest priority will remain public and firefighter safety and protecting infrastructure and homes.

Weather: The Red Flag Warning expired at 8 am this morning. Today will see slightly higher relative humidity and lower temperatures, providing firefighters with the advantage of less intense fire behavior.

Closures and Evacuations: The USFS and the Douglas County Sheriff have implemented public safety measures in response to these fires. Umpqua National Forest has issued a closure order that impacts all of the Cottage Grove Ranger District and parts of the Diamond Lake, North Umpqua, and Tiller Ranger Districts. The closure order can be found here: https://bit.ly/3SeYvih. Additionally, Diamond Lake, Thielsen View, and Broken Arrow Campgrounds are closed through July 28, 2024, and will be reevaluated closer to that date. The Douglas County Sheriff has issued a Level 3: GO NOW for the Trail Fire and the Lemolo fire. There is a Level 2: BE SET for the Pine Bench. Fire danger is set at High and public use restrictions are set at Level 2. Please see detailed information here:   www.dcso.com/EVACUATIONS and www.fs.usda.gov/umpqua.   

The Bureau of Land Management Bakersfield Field Office is issuing an emergency closure of the Chimney Peak Campground, Long Valley Campground, and a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail in Tulare County, due to wildland fire danger from the nearby SQF Lightning Fire. This temporary closure is effective immediately, until further notice. The emergency temporary closure order can also be found on the BLM website.

The SQF Lightning Fire started Tuesday, July 13, and has burned more than 6,000 acres of short grass and brush near the Chimney Peak Recreation Area.

Chimney Peak Recreation Area includes most of the Bakersfield Field Office's Southern Sierra Recreation sites and Wilderness areas, including Domelands Wilderness, Sacatar Trail Wilderness, Owens Peak Wilderness, Chimney Peak Wilderness, Long Valley Campground, Chimney Creek Campground, Walker Pass Campground, the Owens Peak segment of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail, Lamont Peak and other wilderness trails. Only Chimney Peak, Long Valley Campgrounds, and a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail are affected by this order.  

The campgrounds are closed to all forms of public access to provide for public and firefighter safety in relation to the SQF Lightning Fire and management of that fire. The affected area includes all BLM lands south of Sherman Pass Road, west of Canebrake, north of Highway 178, and the boundary with Sequoia National Forest. The recreation areas are in Tulare County.  For specific questions related to the closure, please contact the Bakersfield Field Office at 661-391-6000.

Battle Mountain Complex expands to include the Monkey Creek Fire, total acreage increases to 30,272

UKIAH, Ore. – This morning, ODF Incident Management Team 3 added the 18,886-acre Monkey Creek Fire to the Battle Mountain Complex, which also includes the 3,887-acre North Fork Owens Fire and the 7,499-acre Snake Fire, bringing the total estimated acreage to 30,272.

“Each fire is in a different stage of operations,” said Operations Section Chief Eric Perkins. “We have a lot of crews beginning mop-up along large portions of the North Fork Owens Fire, and we’re constructing a lot of active fireline on the Snake Fire. We’re doing our best in very steep terrain and critical weather. Firefighter and community safety is our top priority.”

While firefighters are engaged on the Monkey Creek Fire, much of today will be focused on scouting and determining resource needs. 

Overnight, crews focused most of their efforts on the Snake Fire protecting homes along the North Fork John Day River. They had little growth on the northwest side of the Snake Fire and focused dozer lines on the head of the fire along the south. 

Overnight, firefighters were able to hold the North Fork Owens Fire within its current perimeter. Crews patrolled the lines and hand crews began cold trailing portions of the fire. Firefighters will continue mop-up operations. Residents can expect to see smoke from the interior. 

Today, crews will continue to focus on constructing and improving as much dozer and handline where they can on all three fires. Firefighters continue to face challenges of limited resources, difficult terrain and Red Flag Warnings with a chance of lightning in the evening.

Closures: A road closure remains in effect for Highway 395, between mile posts 50 through 90, beginning 35 miles South of Pilot Rock. 

Evacuations: Level 1 (Be Ready) , Level 2 (Be Set) and Level 3 (Go Now) evacuations are in effect.

CURRENT SITUATION: Northwest Incident Management Team 3, led by Incident Commander Lonnie Click assumed command for operations on the Easy Fire at 6:00 am this morning.  

With the transition to a new team, the decision was made to provide separate daily reports and strategies for the Pioneer and Easy Fires. The team was able to confirm Saturday that the Easy Fire has extended over the ridge of Mt. Hardy threatening the Pacific Crest Trail, while also moving slowly down slope toward Highway 20.  

In addition to Easy Fire, firefighters responded to two small lightning caused fires in the Kitling Peak area. As of the end of shift Saturday, the Kitling Peak Fire is 100% contained. It will continue to be monitored along with another small lightning-caused fire was identified Saturday. The new fire (#454) is in a remote, difficult to access area surrounded by rock and not expected to spread.  

TODAY’S ACTIVITIES: At the Easy Fire, firefighters will work above Highway 20 to remove fuels and clear burned trees to prevent the fire from reaching the highway and continue protection activities for structures and other resources that could be threatened. As additional resources become available, crews will begin removing fuel from avalanche shoots on either side of the fire.  

Motorists on Highway 20 are encouraged to not stop along highway in the area where firefighters are working. 

WEATHER: Critical weather conditions continue to produce areas of very active fire behavior. The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning through Monday at 8 pm.  A Red Flag Warning is in place for hot, dry and unstable conditions today. Temperatures will remain in the upper 90s to low 100s with cooling expected early next week.

CURRENT SITUATION: Northwest Incident Management Team 3, led by Incident Commander Lonnie Click assumed command for operations on the Pioneer Fire at 6:00 am this morning.  “The outgoing Team and the prior teams who have been here working on the Pioneer Fire have done a lot of excellent work and we appreciate the attention that Northwest Team 12 gave to providing a smooth operational transition,” said Incident Commander Click.

State fire assistance has been mobilized in support of the Pioneer Fire. Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste authorized the mobilization of state firefighting resources under the Washington State Fire Services Resource Mobilization Plan. Working with the community to strengthen fire resilience for structures and infrastructure in Stehekin and Manson remains a top priority. 

The fire has crossed Hunts Creek on the northern flank and has been active in the upper East Fork of Fish Creek.  Fire officials anticipate fire becoming more active in the North Fork Fish Creek drainage. The south end of the fire is primarily confined to extremely steep slopes above the lake shore between Canoe and Lone Fir Creeks with little movement.

TODAY’S ACIVITIES: Firefighting efforts today will focus on strengthening protections around structures and resources near the edges of the fire perimeter. Crews will continue work to stabilize roads that provide access for firefighters and heavy equipment in the area of Prince Creek. Incoming weather could increase fire activity along Fish Creek, Hunt’s Creek, Flick Creek, and Surprise Lake. Crews, supported by aerial resources are actively working to stifle fire activity in these areas. Pioneer Fire is a full suppression fire with firefighters utilizing strategies and tactics that provide the highest likelihood of success while mitigating risks to responders and public.  All suppression tools are being considered based on availability and effectiveness.

WEATHER: Critical weather conditions continue to produce areas of very active fire behavior. The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning through Monday at 8 p.m.  A Red Flag Warning is in place for hot, dry and unstable conditions today.

Ore Fire Update
Sunday, July 21, 2024 – 9:30 a.m.

Size: 534 acres | Reported Date: July 16, 2024 | Personnel: 173

(Springfield, Ore.) – Fire suppression efforts continue on the Ore Fire, which is burning in steep, rugged terrain 7 miles northeast of Blue River, Oregon. The current acreage of 534 is an estimate due to the unavailability of infrared flight. The cause of the fire is under investigation. 

In order to minimize risk to firefighting personnel in hazardous terrain, fire managers are implementing containment strategies, such as utilizing existing roads and natural barriers to create containment lines. Firefighters are engaging in activities that will result in a higher probability of success in suppressing the fire while protecting values at risk, such as communities, infrastructure, and forest and cultural resources. The control objectives for this fire include several miles of forest fuel reduction along roads and trails using crews and mechanized equipment. Firefighter and public safety remain the top priority on the Ore Fire.

Yesterday, firefighters removed hazardous trees along the FS 15 road and the fire’s edge. Aerial resources were active, supporting ground crews by monitoring fire progression and assisting with water drops. Heavy machinery, such as masticators and feller bunchers, removed and chipped large trees and vegetation into more manageable material along the FS roads 15, 1509, and 1503. Firefighting efforts were successful in holding the fire north of the FS 15 Road. In addition, crews continued to scout divisions and identify possible control lines utilizing natural barriers and access features.

Today, crews and equipment will build on progress made by continuing work on FS roads 15 and 1509 by thinning and removing fuel from these containment lines.  Air operation resources are available and will be utilized to assist personnel as needed and monitor fire progression. Firefighters are also working closely with Resource Advisors to minimize damage to the landscape and cultural resources.
 

Weather: Near-normal temperatures will move into the area today through the beginning of the week, with highs in the 80s. Relative humidity will increase, and winds will remain terrain-driven over the fire area. A Red Flag Warning is currently in effect until 8 PM for lightning on critically dry areas. The potential for gusty outflow winds in thunderstorm areas could allow for new and existing fires to grow rapidly.

Safety: Fire personnel will be working with heavy equipment along FS Road 15 and 1509. Fire managers ask the public to drive defensively while crews diligently work to complete suppression efforts along the road. Fire  restrictions are in place within the Willamette National Forest. Current fire restriction information can be found at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/willamette/fire. 

Smoke: Smoke from numerous wildfires burning throughout the state will affect air quality in many areas over the coming days. For information on air quality in your area go to: www.airnow.gov. 

Forest Closures: Established closures in the Willamette National Forest are in place 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. For a complete list of recreation and roads in the Ore Fire closure order, visit  https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/willamette/alerts-notices.

Romero Fire Update Sunday, July 21, 2024

Start Date: Friday, July 19, 2024                                                                                                                      Cause: Undetermined 

Location: 13 miles southwest of Kearny                                                                                                          Acres: 6,900 

Personnel Assigned: 154                                                                                                                                 Containment: 0%

Evacuation: SET for 3C Ranch 

Summary: The fire was discovered Friday, July 19, 2024 with an unknown cause. When it is safe to do so, an investigation will be conducted to determine the cause. The fire is burning in grass and brush to the North of the Freeman Fire that took place last week. 

Yesterday, Firefighters were successful with structure protection of Hayden Ranch. Engines and crews worked to prep the structure and retardant was dropped around the property to protect multiple structures and cattle on the ranch. Fire activity was moderate through most of the day until a thunderstorm moved into the area late afternoon. Gusty, erratic winds up to 50 mph created a 180-degree wind shift. Fire crews conducted a firing operation along Barkerville Rd to secure the western edge of the fire while multiple crews and engines worked to secure the east side.  The wind-driven fire pushed north-northwest an estimated 650 acres through pockets of heavy fuel, burning within mesquite, grass, brush, and desert shrub. Firing operations and weather influence produced multiple columns of smoke visible to the surrounding communities of Oracle, Mammoth, Kearny and those traveling SR79 and SR77.

Communities within proximity of the fire may see smoke and flames today as temperatures warm up and likely increasing fire activity. Storm chances are increasing with the possibility for high winds over the fire area later this afternoon. Outflow winds could result in extreme fire behavior similar to yesterday. 

Today, crews will engage the fire with the objective being full suppression while providing for firefighter safety.  With the fire moving North, resources are scouting for new control lines and improving the lines put in place yesterday. There are approximately 154 resources assigned to the fire to include engines, crews, a water tender, medical team and miscellaneous overhead.  Aircraft is available to support the fire with a mapping mission planned for later today.

Due to the proximity of the fire to the 3C Ranch west of the fire, near Barkerville Rd, fire operations made the decision to place the ranch in SET evacuation status. That evacuation remains in place.  Residents in Pinal County can sign up for emergency alert notifications at: https://www.pinal.gov/1335/PENS---Pinal-Emergency-Notification-Syst. 

Closures: Freeman Road is closed. Deputies will be placed at roadblocks throughout the fire area. The public is asked to avoid the fire area, including Barkerville and Willow Springs Road. The AZT (Arizona Trail) is closed between Oracle and Kearny. Hikers should plan an alternate route.

Weather: Yesterday, thunderstorms moved into the area late in the evening and scattered precipitation was received. The amount is unknown but fire behavior did moderate during the storm. Sunday weather will be mostly sunny with a chance of thunderstorms moving in this afternoon.

Safety: A TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) is in place over the fire. Firefighting aircraft and drones are a dangerous combination. Drones in the area could lead to accidents or slow down wildfire suppression operations. If you fly…we can’t.

Fire Restrictions: Stage 1 fire restrictions in effect on State Trust lands in Pinal County. Restriction info: http://wildlandfire.az.gov/.

CURRENT SITUATION: 

Yesterday, the fire advanced to the 6NO6 Forest Road near Ammon Ridge.  Tactical firing was utilized to keep the fire from crossing the road. Tactical firing is conducted to increase the depth of the fireline and eliminate pockets of fuel that could threaten its integrity.  There was moderate fire activity observed in the Mosquito Creek drainage, where crews worked to construct line into the drainage.  Heavy equipment and hand crews worked from the east and west, to tie in holding lines.  During the evening crews worked to strengthen these lines and patrol Route 1 and 6NO06 Road and the north end of the fire.

Today, the crews will continue with tactical firing along the 6NO6 working southward.  Residents may see increased smoke in the area as a result of these operations.  The increased relative humidity that is forecasted for today will provide more favorable conditions as it will help keep fire behavior moderated.

Fire Crews will continue to assess the structures along Friday Ridge Road and the communities to the north and east of the fire. They are building a Structure Defense Plan that will be implemented should these structures come under imminent danger of approaching fire.

WEATHER:

An enhanced marine influence will kickoff the day with patchy valley fog and high Rh recoveries.  While some gusty northeast winds will remain this afternoon, higher Rh and weaker mixing will generally decrease fire weather concerns.   Winds will gradually calm into Monday, though warmer and drier weather will quickly start to build in.
