Ubicación: Condado de Larimer, Colorado

Contención: 32%

Puntos Destacados:Durante la noche no se observó movimiento del fuego hacia el oeste. Las cuadrillas se enfocaron en la protección de las estructuras en las comunidades y a lo largo de la autopista 34 y en la extinción de los puntos calientes cerca de Cedar Park. Las cuadrillas están haciendo un gran progreso en las líneas de contención y seguirán reforzando las líneas manuales mientras vigilan por puntos calientes adicionales. Recuerde que el uso no autorizado de sistemas aéreos no tripulados (UAS por sus siglas en inglés) o drones, en la zona de incendio pone en peligro la vida de los pilotos y bomberos. Nunca vuele aeronaves no tripuladas sobre un incendio o cerca de él.

Actividad del Incendio: Los bomberos están trabajando diligentemente para completar las tareas en la línea de defensa durante un clima muy caluroso y mientras la actividad del fuego está disminuyendo. Los combustibles permanecen secos y pueden sostener el fuego. Aunque el fuego no será tan agresivo, aún es posible que se propague. Los vientos racheados pueden provocar un aumento en el comportamiento del fuego y propagarse en cualquier dirección.

Condiciones climáticas: Las condiciones calurosas continuarán a medida que aumenta la humedad sobre el incendio Alexander Mountain. Es posible que haya lluvias y tormentas eléctricas en la zona con vientos erráticos y racheados.

Condiciones de humo: Hoy se pronostican niveles altos de ozono y humo disperso en todo el Front Range. Se espera que el humo disminuya durante la semana. Para obtener más información sobre el humo y la calidad del aire, visite el Departamento de Salud Pública y Medio Ambiente de Colorado.

Daily Update August 4, 2024

Fire Information Phone: 541-208-1768 (8am-8pm)

Media Information Phone:541-208-1770 (8am-8pm)

Email: 2024.crazycreek@firenet.gov

Acres:  Crazy Creek – 60,091; 498/Kitty Creek – 73 
Acreage changes may occur due to overnight operations and infrared mapping.

Location: Crazy Creek: 5 miles north of Paulina, OR                      Start Date: July 22, 2024 

           498/Kitty Creek: 7 miles south of Mitchell, OR                     Personnel: 587 

Containment: Crazy Creek 5%; 498/Kitty Creek 100%                  Fuels: Timber and short grass

Resources: 13 crews | 1 helicopter | 30 engines | 9 bulldozers | 12 water tenders | 3 masticators | 14 skid steers

Highlights: The 498/Kitty Creek Fire reached full containment as of Friday, August 2. As challenging conditions persist over the Crazy Creek Fire, firefighters were able to take advantage of a lull in fire activity to strengthen containment lines and make progress constructing holding features along the Forest Service Road 12, in preparation for firing operations. A red flag warning expired at 7 A.M. today, however chances of afternoon thunderstorms may move over the fire area. 

Fire Activity: On Saturday, August 3, fire activity was not as aggressive on the Crazy Creek Fire, allowing firefighters to successfully hold containment lines on the western edge while they worked to contain spot fires near the northern perimeter.

Today, air resources – including large air tankers and helicopters – will support ground operations to reduce the spread of fire on the northern perimeter, east to Toggle Meadows. Firefighters are working to hold and improve existing containment features on the northern and eastern portions of the Crazy Creek Fire, as well as continue mop-up and extinguish hotspots near firelines. Crews on the southern and eastern portions of the fire are scouting for additional containment features and conducting structure protection, including installing sprinkler systems where needed.

Evacuations: Mandatory evacuation orders remain in effect for areas in Crook and Wheeler Counties for areas in or near the fire. Level 3 evacuations have extended from the Forest Boundary to Highway 380. Level 2 evacuations have extended south of Highway 380. 

Weather: Critically warm and dry conditions persist with low humidity, temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and scattered thunderstorms.

Importance of Fire Prevention: All public lands in Central Oregon, to include the Ochoco National Forest are in Stage 2 Public Use (Fire) Restrictions. All open flames, including woodstoves and charcoal briquette fires are prohibited. In times of high fire danger, it is crucial for everyone to follow fire prevention measures to avoid additional strain on overburdened resources. The public's cooperation in adhering to fire bans and restrictions is vital to prevent new fires from starting and to help our firefighters focus on containing the existing fires.

Smoke: Smoke from multiple fires in Central Oregon are impacting the region. Additional details are available via https://outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net/outlook/079f0f73.

Fire Restrictions and Closures: The Ochoco National Forest has implemented a forest closure for the Paulina Ranger District. More information can be found at fs.usda.gov/alerts/ochoco/alerts-notices/?aid=89203. The Bureau of Land Management has issued a temporary closure for public lands in Crook and Grant Counties.

Alexander Mountain Fire Update Daily Update for August 4, 2024 by Southwest Area Incident Management Team 1

Acres: 9,668   

Start Date: 07/29/24

Location: Larimer County, Colorado   

Personnel: 508

Containment:   32%

Highlights: There was no western movement of the fire overnight. Crews focused on structure protection in communities and along Highway 34 and extinguishing hot spots near Cedar Park. Crews are making great progress on containment lines and will continue to strengthen handlines while monitoring for additional hot spots. Please remember the use of unauthorized, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), or drones, in a fire area endangers the lives of pilots and firefighters. Never fly uncrewed aircraft over or near a fire.

Fire Activity: Fire crews are working diligently completing tasks on the line during some very hot weather and fire activity is slowing. Fuels remain dry and able to support fire. Although the fire will not be as aggressive, spread is still possible. Gusty winds may cause an increase in fire behavior and spread in any direction. 

Weather: Hot conditions will continue as moisture increases over the Alexander Mountain Fire. Showers and thunderstorms are possible in the area with erratic and gusty winds. 

Smoke: Across the Front Range, dispersed smoke and high ozone levels are forecasted for today. Expect decreasing smoke throughout the week. For more information on smoke and air quality, visit Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

Closures, Evacuations and Structure Assessment: The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office Joint Information Center is providing information about evacuation notices and road closures. For the most up to date evacuation information visit nocoalert.org or text LCEVAC to 888777. The Joint Information Center can be reached at 970-980-2500.

Fire

 The Limepoint fire grew 2228 acres and now stands at 24,605 acres burned with 5% containment. For more information on Limepoint/Cliff Mountain and West Mountain Complex (Boulder, Wolf Creek, Bull Trout, Wapiti) wildfire incidents, please visit Inciweb (https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/). 

Smoke

 Early NE winds will move smoke SW then begin to shift to a more westerly flow pushing smoke to the east. The Outlook area should see more smoke impacts from the Oregon fires beginning around noon, with the Limepoint fire smoke impacting Riggins and McCall by mid-afternoon. Mostly MODERATE across the Outlook region with USG likely again in Cascade and Halfway, OR.

Special Statement

*** AIR QUALITY ALERT *** An Air Quality Alert has been
issued for all of Yakima County, including the Yakima
Reservation, IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Particulate
matter (PM2.5) may reach Unhealthy or Unhealthy for
Sensitive Groups (USG) levels.

Fire

Hot and dry conditions have settled in over the region and
fire activity has increased in several interior areas of the
fire. In addition, crews are doing great work to increase
containment with strategic firing operations especially along
the north side of the fire. Visit Inciweb for more information
on the Retreat Fire and other fires in the Pacific NW.

Smoke

Smoke from other fires in the Pacific NW combined with that
from the Retreat Fire will push Air Quality to UNHEALTHY
levels at times. With westerly winds, Ellensburg should
remain mostly GOOD. On average, MODERATE conditions are
predicted at Yakima, Toppenish, and Prosser. Closer to the
fire, USG to UNHEALTHY is expected at locations such as
Naches.
