---

Summary: The Wapiti and Bulltrout fires resulted from a lightning storm on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.On July 31st an incident management team was delegated the West Mountain Complex which includes the Boulder, Wapiti and Bulltrout Fires on the Boise National Forest and the Wolf Creek Fire on the Payette National Forest. A full suppression strategy is being utilized on these lightning-caused fires. Firefighter and public safety remain the top priority for fire managers. Northern Rockies CIMT 5 is mobilizing and will take command of the Wapiti and Bulltrout Fires on Saturday, August 10th at 6:00 am.

Weather | Anticipated Fire Behavior: Temperatures in the fire areas will rise slightly to the mid-70s, with relative humidities increasing to 20%. Downslope winds are expected in the morning, followed by upslope winds in the afternoon. Dry thunderstorms are possible this afternoon, with low chances of substantial moisture in the coming days. 

Actions:  Firefighter and public safety as well as the protection of values at risk remains the top priority of the team through all suppression efforts. Resources are identified and prepared for initial attack. Aircraft will be ready to support firefighters on the ground for any new fire starts.

Wapiti Fire: Firefighting crews remain engaged in implementing appropriate tactics give the fuel and terrain with the highest probability of success protecting the private property in the area. Late afternoon and evening will be when the fire is most active due to an afternoon shift in wind directions. Crews will continue firing operations today, as well as other strategies, to best protect nearby values at risk while keeping firefighters and the public safe. 

Bulltrout Fire: The Bulltrout Fire remains in patrol status. Firefighting crews continue to mop up and repair the disturbance that suppression has caused.

Important Information: For the Wapiti Fire, the Boise and Sawtooth National Forests have issued a closure order for roads, trails and lands encompassing the Wapiti Fire. The closure was enacted to protect public safety and support fire suppression activities. The closure affects interior travel on several National Forest System roads such as NFS Grandjean Road #524 and the Warm Springs Air Strip. Additional information about these closures can be found at https://tinyurl.com/2u8v3pf7

For the Bulltrout Fire, the Boise and Salmon‐Challis National Forests have issued a closure order for roads, trails and lands encompassing the Bulltrout Fire. The closure was enacted to protect public safety and support fire suppression activities. This closure includes National Forest System (NFS) Roads #579, #582 and several others. There are no disruptions in access to the Boundary Creek Boat Launch.  NFS Road #579 is open in its entirety from Highway 21 to NFS Road #568 to the Boundary Creek Boat Launch. Risk to responders and public safety remain the highest priority for the incident management team. Additional information about these closures can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/2u8v3pf7. The Boise National Forest is working on a reduction on the closure order area. This information will be shared when the new order is finalized.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 7, 2024

Snag Fire 'READY" stage evacuation order and Warm Lake Highway Road closures.

CASCADE, Idaho- The Valley County Sheriff’s Office has issued a “ready” evacuation order for Warm Lake residents and the North Shore Lodge at Warm Lake due to increased fire activity on the Snag Fire, located 11 miles east of Cascade. The ready order is being released today so residents can have adequate time to pre-plan.

In addition to the ready evacuation order, ingress along the Warm Lake Highway on the east side of Scott Valley is closed. Currently, westbound traffic toward Cascade along the Warm Lake Highway is allowed. Residents and recreators in the area will be notified of the closure. Residents not currently at their homes will be granted one-time access into the Warm Lake area to retrieve animals and other property if they can provide a valid address.

Anyone who remains in the area should be prepared for a full closure of the Warm Lake Highway and have enough fuel to exit the area via the Deadwood area or Lick Creek Road. As a reminder, the South Fork Road remains closed due to construction unrelated to the Snag Fire.

A “ready” evacuation order means:

• There is a threat/hazard in your local area.

• Monitor local social media, news channels and radio for emergency information.

• This is the time to prepare any family members with special needs, mobile property, and pets and/or livestock.

• If conditions worsen, emergency services may contact you via an emergency notification system.

• Designate an out-of-area contact who can relay information.

• Plan how you’ll transport your pets.

• Keep the car fuel tank at least half full.

A CODE RED alert will be sent to all residents impacted by the ready evacuation order.

The Snag Fire started on August 5, 2024 and was caused by lightning.

Nugent Complex Fire Final Update

Thursday, August 8, 2024

August 8, 2024

Size: 360 acres

Containment: 100%

Date Started: August 7, 2024

Cause: Under investigation

Structures: 3 homes and 4 outbuildings were destroyed yesterday during the initial response to these fires

Evacuations: There are no evacuations in place at this time.

The Nugent Complex Fire started on August 7, 2024, and initially was responded to by local fire departments from Jones County. Texas A&M Forest Service was requested for assistance and responded with aviation resources, heavy equipment, and engines from Texas A&M Forest Service and Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid System (TIFMAS). Texas A&M Forest Service is currently in unified command with Jones County fire departments.

Closures: There are no road closures at this time. 

Yesterday: Crews were able to construc containment lines around all the separate fire starts along FM 600. Firefighters worked through the night taking advantage of the lower temperatures and winds to stop any further spread of the fire and suppress and burning structures.

Today: Firefighters arrived back on scene this morning and immediately went to work searching out any areas of heat and putting them out. A strike team of engines, five fire engines, worked around all the structures in the area and ensured that no further loss of structures would occur because of small flames or heat sources around the unaffected structures. Additional resources worked to improve containment lines and patrolled these lines searching for any areas of heat. As less and less threats were found on subsequent passes, some resources began to rehabilitate and reset their equipment so that they would be available to respond to any additional fire starts in the area.

Weather and Fire Behavior: Temperatures are expected to remain extremely high again tomorrow. Winds and relative humidity will be very similar tomorrow as well creating continued fire danger throughout the area. This fire has been showing active fire behavior with rapid fire growth and occasional tree torching, fire behavior that can be difficult for firefighters to put out and contain. 

This will be the Final Update

Quick Facts

Start date:  July 17, 2024           Location:  17 miles west of Mazama, WA        Cause:  Lightning                               Fire size:  1,754 acres             Containment:  0%                                           Total personnel:  185

 CURRENT SITUATION: Warm and dry conditions with increased winds have produced very active fire behavior along the southeast side of the fire resulting in areas of torching and active spread on the lower right flank. As interior fuels continue to burn down, there will be a general increase in fire behavior resulting in active fire spread. Heavy fuels will continue to retain heat due to seasonal dryness and serve as potential ignition sources as warming and drying occurs.

TODAY: Crews will continue removing trees and debris along State Route 20 to reinforce the fire break along the road in an effort to keep the fire north of the highway. On the southeast flank, a combination of aviation and hand crews are working in the Swamp Creek area evaluating handline locations to keep the fire out of that drainage. On the northwest side of the fire, resources are reinforcing through handline construction an unnamed natural barrier to halt the fire’s northwesterly spread.

WEATHER AND SMOKE: Warm and mostly dry conditions will be in place through Friday. Winds will be light out of the east and southeast at speeds of 6 to 10 mph. There is a 10 percent chance for afternoon thunderstorms on Thursday increasing to 50 percent on Friday. Any storms that impact the fire will bring a threat of gusty outflow winds, heavy downpours, and lightning. 

Expect winds out of the east to scour the smoke and improve air quality across most of the communities east of the Pioneer and Easy fires in the morning. As winds shift to out of the northwest, they will bring light to moderate levels of smoke from regional fires to communities in the Okanogan Valley and Chelan area overnight. 

Please visit www.airnow.gov more information about smoke and air quality. 

CLOSURES: State Route 20 is closed in both directions between Granite Creek (MP 148) and Easy Pass Trailhead (MP 157): https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/. The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest has closures in place for trails within the fire area: https://bit.ly/EasyFireClosures. This closure includes a portion of the Pacific Crest Trail. Campfires are prohibited. There is a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in place over the fire: https://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_4_6779.html. Unauthorized drone activity is prohibited under the TFR. 

EVACUATIONS: There are no evacuations in place for the Easy Fire. Visitors recreating in the area should be vigilant of surroundings and stay out of closed areas. 

Quick Facts

Start date:  July 17, 2024           Location:  17 miles west of Mazama, WA        Cause:  Lightning                               Fire size:  1,538 acres             Containment:  0%                                           Total personnel:  174

CURRENT SITUATION: Fire behavior continues to increase directly impacting Highway 20. Numerous large trees have fallen across the highway, near-roadway fire activity and smoke production make it unsafe for vehicles.

The fire progressed to the south into the Swamp Creek drainage. Fire engines will remain positioned on State Route 20 overnight to monitor any fire activity that could threaten the west side of the highway and take action should there be a need. Yesterday, crews flew in and wrapped Mebee Fire Lookout tower with fire protective material.

Be sure to check https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/ for the latest information on State Route 20.

Today: Fire behavior should decrease today as where the fire is burning will be sheltered from the winds by topography. Crews will continue removing trees and debris along State Route 20 to reinforce the fire break along the highway. Hot shot crews will continue indirect line preparation in the Porcupine Creek drainage and look for opportunities to contain the southern flank. Prep work continues along

State Route 20. Additionally, firefighters will continue night shift operations.

WEATHER: Today’s temperatures will remain warm and dry. Valley fog and low clouds will be present in the early morning, but we will see mostly sunny skies by the afternoon. Winds will be northwest 6-10 mph. Visit https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/f79a6d6d for more information about smoke and air quality.

CLOSURES: State Route 20 is closed in both directions between Granite Creek (MP 148) and Easy Pass Trailhead (MP 157): https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/.

CURRENT SITUATION: Fire behavior continues to increase directly impacting Highway 20. Numerous large trees have fallen across the highway, near-roadway fire activity and smoke production make it unsafe for vehicles. The fire progressed to the south into the Swamp Creek drainage. Weather forecasts show increased winds in the afternoon. Given the expected weather, fire activity is likely to increase.

Fire engines will remain positioned on State Route 20 overnight to monitor any fire activity that could threaten the west side of the highway.

Be sure to check https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/ for the latest information on State Route 20.

Today: Fire will continue to spread as dry weather persists. Crews are diligently removing down trees and debris along State Route 20 to reinforce the fire break along the highway. Today’s weather will bring more instability and increased winds that will further challenge containment lines with increased torching and spotting. Resources assigned to the fire continue to grow to meet the needs of the incident.

WEATHER: Skies have been mostly clear through early afternoon aside from some cumulus build-ups on higher ridgetops. There remains a small chance of a thunderstorm, but the chance remains 10 percent or less. Light downslope and down-valley winds prevail early but become more up-valley after 10 a.m. at 8 to 12 mph. Humidity is expected to decrease to 18-25 percent range by afternoon.
