Pioneer Fire Update for July 11, 2024  

Incident Commander Jeff Dimke

Complex Incident Management Team Northwest 12

541-861-5808, staffed 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. 2024.pioneer@firenet.gov 

Start date: June 8, 2024  

Location: 31 miles northwest of Chelan, WA  

Containment: 14%  

Fire size: 12,265 acres  

Cause: Human caused, under investigation  

Total personnel: 833

A public meeting will be held today at the Golden West Visitor Center in Stehekin at 6 PM. Due to internet limitations, it will be in-person only. 

The Pioneer Fire is burning within a mountainous and remote area on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest near Lake Chelan. Firefighters are using a full suppression response in the Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness to protect values at risk, life, and property, with firefighter and public safety as the primary objective. The communities of Chelan, Manson, and Stehekin are open and continue to welcome visitors. 

Strong, gusty winds from a dry frontal passage yesterday caused Meadow Creek and Prince Creek to experience heightened fire activity that produced a highly visible smoke column in the early evening. Heavy aircraft dropped 100,000 gallons yesterday, successfully extinguishing a spot fire and cooling areas of active burning. Additional medium and light helicopters flew several missions to deliver food, water, fuel, and other supplies to the firefighters in remote areas surrounding Lake Chelan while also performing reconnaissance and aerial supervision to direct air traffic. 

Firefighters have made excellent progress and continue to work building and improving fire line and contingency line to protect the community of Stehekin. Today additional hand crews, engines, and heavy equipment are on scene to continue installing hose lays, assist local cooperators with structure protection, and construct hand line. Crews have nearly completed the four-mile hose lay along the Nelson Ridge contingency line and are determining hand line placement in the challenging terrain from the ridge top down to Lake Chelan. Heavy equipment continues to improve contingency lines down-lake, clearing heavy fuels to create an effective fuel break. 

WEATHER AND SMOKE: Temperatures will drop today to the mid-90s in the valleys. High temperatures, high winds and low relative humidity are conducive to active fire behavior. The air quality outlook can be found at https://bit.ly/PioneerFireSmoke. Learn more about smoke at smokeready.org. The fire marshal issued fire danger ratings and restrictions; see https://t.ly/WLBds for more information. 

EVACUATIONS AND CLOSURES: Level 1, 2, and 3 evacuation levels remain in effect around the Pioneer Fire; please visit https://t.ly/QoH9w for more information. The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest has a closure order in place for much of the fire area. Details and maps are available at: https://bit.ly/PioneerClosure.   A Temporary Flight Restriction is in place over the fire: https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_6779.html.

Northern Rockies Team 8, a Type III Incident Management Team led by Incident Commander Brad Bergman assumed command of the Horse Gulch Fire on July 11th at 6:00 a.m.

Key Message 

A combination of direct and indirect strategies are being implemented in response to the Horse Gulch Fire to keep the fire north of Canyon Ferry and east of JimTown Road in order to minimize fire impacts to private structures and land.

Current Status

The majority of fire growth occurred to the south and east yesterday afternoon and into the early morning hours. Firefighters worked through the night to construct and reinforce fire line along the south end of the fire to prevent the fire from spreading onto private land. Hand crews and heavy equipment operators successfully completed fire line from JimTown Road east out to Little Hellgate Gulch, north of Canyon Ferry.

Today, efforts will focus on limiting fire spread to the south and west to keep the fire from moving onto private lands. Firefighters, heavy equipment operators, and multiple types of aircraft will work to secure previously constructed fire line on the southern portion of the fire, north of Canyon Ferry. Crews assigned to the western side of the fire will construct and reinforce control lines near JimTown Road with efforts continuing north to tie into the northwestern point of the fire. 

Weather and Fire Behavior

Hot, dry, and windy conditions will continue today with temperatures reaching into the 90s. There is potential for erratic wind gusts along with a slight chance of thunderstorms in the late afternoon.

Evacuations and Closures

Evacuations: The Lewis and Clark County Sheriff's Office issued evacuations for the following areas:

• Canyon Ferry Road - from JimTown Road to the Broadwater County line;
• All roads north and south of Canyon Ferry Road between JimTown Road to the Broadwater County line.

Note: Canyon Ferry Rd is closed at Canyon Ferry Village to the Broadwater County line.

Closures: The Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest issued a road, trail, and area closure.

• In general, the closures are southeast of the York Gulch Road/Forest Service System Road 4136, to northwest up to and including the Avalanche Creek Road/Forest Service System Road 359, bound on the north by Magpie Mountain ridge line and bound on the south by the National Forest System lands boundary.

Minimal Fire Growth on the Pius Fire

Daily Update July 11, 2024

Acres:              2,019                                                                Start Date: 07/08/24

Location:           20 miles NE of Payson, AZ                                Personnel: 233

Containment:   0%                                                                      Fuels: Timber

Resources: 2 Hotshot Crews, 2 IA Crews & 2 Type 2 Crews | 4 Engines | 1 helicopter | 1 Water Tender | 4 dozers

Highlights: In line with the full suppression objective, direct attack tactics are being implemented, when and where safe to do so. Southwest Area Team 1 assumed command of the Pius Fire yesterday morning and are strategically planning how to minimize the effects on the numerous values at risk in the area. 

Fire Activity: Firefighters are staying engaged on the fire throughout two shifts that cover the extended burn period which allows for action to be taken when the conditions are right. The fire activity is wind sensitive with live vegetation burning actively when the winds are pushing the fire. Fire crews and equipment will continue to construct and reinforce the fire perimeter, creating wider fire lines today.

Forecasted thunderstorms with erratic winds have fire officials on high alert and close attention is being paid to any activity near the existing fire line, as well as any potential new starts. The team will assist local units by providing resources to fight any new starts during this period of unstable atmospheric conditions and increased recreation in the area.

Weather: The hot and dry trend continues with high temperatures in the 90s, single digit humidity, and light to moderate winds out of the Northwest today. There’s a chance of thunderstorms predicted this afternoon and although they may remain south of the Rim, outflow winds will still be near the fire. 

Smoke: Smoke may continue to impact the communities of Christopher Creek, Payson, Young, Forest Lakes, Heber-Overgaard, and Highway 260. For updates on smoke conditions in your local area visit www.fire.airnow.gov.

Closures/ Evacuations: The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office has issued notices for evacuations in the area. For the most current evacuation information, please visit the Coconino County Emergency Management website at https://www.coconino.az.gov/.

Community meeting tonight for Lytle Creek residents

There will be a community meeting tonight for Lytle Creek residents at 6:00 p.m. at the Lytle Creek Community Center at 14082 Center Rd., Lytle Creek, CA 92358. The meeting is open to residents only north of Glen Helen Parkway. The meeting will be live-streamed on the San Bernardino National Forest Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SanBernardinoNF/.  The general public may ask questions via the comment section of this live stream.

Last night the fire was active on the southeast and northwest flanks and has grown slightly to 2,700 acres. Firefighters were successful holding the line along the 3No6 road and Stockton Flats north of the fire and have established a strong anchor to build containment lines. Containment remains at 0 percent. However, crews are working to establish control and contingency lines.

High heat, low humidity and windy conditions will continue to drive fire activity. Fire behavior will remain active throughout the day. 

A heat advisory is still in effect today until 9 p.m. The typical diurnal winds create upcanyon winds during the day and down canyon winds in the evening. In drainages running east to west, wind funnels and sharp bends in canyons can cause gusty, erratic winds and increase risk of spot fires. 

“The complex terrain, hot weather and winds, combined with hazards such as falling dead trees and rolling material, make control of this fire a challenge,” said Operations Section Chief Scott Grasmick.

Air attack will provide continuous coverage throughout the day to assist firefighters on the ground. Crews will focus on building indirect contingency lines as well as going direct with hand crews and dozers where feasible. 

Increased resource availability is creating more options for crews to add personnel and equipment to the fire line. Initial attack crews are being staged to respond to any new starts on the forest.

Pat Seekins, Comandante del Incidente

Ubicación: 3 millas al noroeste de Beulah, CO                           Tamaño: 1,310 acres     

Fecha de inicio: 22 de junio del 2024                                         Contención: 76%             

Causa: Relámpagos                                                                     Personal: 192

El puesto de mando de incidentes del incendio Oak Ridge ahora está ubicado en el Departamento de Bomberos de Beulah. No hubo cambios en el tamaño ni en la contención del incendio, pero hubo una reducción en el personal de bomberos a medida que los gerentes del incendio correctamente ajustan la organización. Ayer, se veía humo en el interior debido a las condiciones más calurosas y secas. Estas condiciones continuarán durante el fin de semana a medida que la alta presión se fortalezca en toda la región, aumentando las temperaturas. Se están utilizando drones con sistemas de aeronaves no tripuladas (UAS) con detección de infrarrojos para ayudar a los bomberos a extinguir el incendio, junto con operaciones de helicópteros. Una de las prioridades del incendio Oak Ridge sigue siendo la reparación de supresión para restaurar las áreas afectadas por los esfuerzos contraincendios. Astillando ya está casi completo en DIV A y D. Las cuadrillas continúan usando el tendido de mangueras colocada en el extremo sur de DIV K, trabajando para enfriar el calor a la medida necesaria a lo largo del borde del incendio. Los bomberos de DIV K continúan desmontando mangueras de las líneas cortafuego al este del incendio en Middle Creek. En el lado oeste, los bomberos continúan rehabilitando la línea de mano construyendo barreras de agua y dispersando vegetación previamente cortada sobre el área.

Hoy, las cuadrillas estarán astillando vegetación previamente cortada durante la construcción de la línea cortafuego a lo largo de la línea cortafuego en DIV K. Persisten focos de calor en el interior a lo largo del borde sur de DIV K, y los bomberos están identificando y extinguiendo escrupulosamente los puntos calientes restantes para asegurar la contención. En el extremo oeste, las cuadrillas retirarán la vegetación cortada previamente en el área de Second Mace ubicada al sur, a suroeste del incendio. Los asesores de recursos y los bomberos están trabajando juntos para completar la reparación de supresión. El panel de información en el desecho de la corta del Departamento de Bomberos de Beulah será retirado esta tarde y los bomberos también quemarán el desecho existente esta mañana.

Información sobre Condiciones climáticas y de humo: Anoche, partes del incendio recibieron hasta 0.5” de lluvia. Hoy será más caluroso y seco, con temperaturas en los 80 grados y humedades relativas tan bajas como el 14%. Los vientos serán ligeros y variables a lo largo del día con un 20% de probabilidad de tormentas eléctricas aisladas esta tarde.

El informe diario de perspectivas de humo del Programa Interinstitucional de Respuesta a la Calidad del Aire de Incendios Forestales de EE. UU. específico para el área del incendio se puede encontrar en https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/d9fa3c77.

CURRENT SITUATIONS:                                                                                            

Last night, specialty equipped helicopters were utilized to support engines and hand crews in strengthening containment lines. Overnight fire activity was in the Patterson creek area and held as the fire laid down. Firefighting personnel continue their round-the-clock efforts to enhance structure defense in local communities.

Yesterday, the fire's most active front was along the eastern edge near Patterson Creek. Crews worked tirelessly to fortify lines from Patterson Ridge to Whiskey Butte, aiming to halt the fire's eastward progression. Aerial resources were consistently deployed to reinforce these efforts. On the northern front, crews concentrated on reinforcing lines in the Shackleford drainage area and actively engaged in firefighting operations.

Substantial resources are dedicated to structure defense, with additional reinforcements arriving to protect surrounding communities. Concurrently, crews are focused on establishing and strengthening contingency lines from Scott Bar Road in the north to Sawyers Bar Road in the south.

Minimal growth has been observed in the southern and western sections of the fire. Efforts on the southern front are centered on completing hand and dozer lines from Sawyers Bar Road to the Pacific Crest Trail and Snoozer Ridge.

Evacuation orders or warnings are in place for 4,200 people in the area, with over 3,800 residential and 300 commercial structures threatened.

WEATHER:

Hot, dry, and unstable conditions are expected to persist through the rest of the week, with continued low minimum relative humidity and overnight recoveries in the 40-45% range along the ridges. Terrain-driven up-canyon winds will continue each afternoon, with westerly down-canyon winds in the 15-20 mph range pushing through channeled terrain gaps in the late afternoons and evenings. There is a slight chance of thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening, with isolated dry thunderstorms becoming more likely on Saturday and potentially into Sunday.
