Grouse Fire Update

Incident Commander:  D. Hammack, C. Olander, (T)
Location:  10 miles southwest of Wise River, MT
Start Date: 7/25/2024 
Cause: Undetermined
Size: 800 acres 
Resources on Site:  4 type 2 IA crews; 2 hotshot crews; 7 engines; 1 skidgen; and 3 helicopters available to assist
Total Personnel:  138

KEY MESSAGES: 
Effective today an Area/Road/Trail Closure is in effect for the vicinity of the fire perimeter. The Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway has a large amount of firefighting equipment and crews; motorists in the area are urged to slow down, look for 35 MPH speed signs, be aware of the increased traffic, and yield to firefighting apparatus and vehicles.

Fire managers and agency officials are considering night operations, and ensuring public and firefighter safety and protecting life and property are of the utmost importance.
 

CURRENT STATUS/PLANNED ACTIONS: 
On Wednesday, crews continued to improve Forest Road 186, (Pettengill Rd), in preparation to use it as a containment line. Yesterday a reconnaissance flight was requested to aid in assessing fire perimeter size, however due to heavy demand of aerial resources in the region, it was unavailable.
Firefighters are monitoring previous installed water-handling equipment (pumps, hoses, and sprinklers) around structures in the Pettengill Creek area. In the coming days, crews will plan on using existing and improved control features (such as prepped firelines) for burnout operations to lessen the fire’s impact to critical values at risk.

On Thursday, fire mitigation strategies, such as burnouts will be considered to help secure and maintain the fire line. These activities help reduce the risk to our fire crews while also minimizing the impact on the surrounding values at risk. The public should be aware that an increase in visible smoke is highly probably over the next few days. As conditions allow, fire personnel will be utilizing helicopters as needed to support operations. 
 

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR:
The fire continues to move primarily up the Grouse Creek drainage and sub-drainages. As drier weather persists Friday through Sunday, temperatures could top out near 100 degrees. Light westerly winds in the afternoon on Wednesday will start to lower the relative humidity.

Tomorrow active fire movement on all flanks is expected, with fire backing downhill towards Pettengill Creek and to the north towards Grouse Creek and the Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway. As hotter weather persists, fire managers will be monitoring increased fire behavior and potential for spotting.
Dead fuels along the ridges at the highest elevations are consuming completely. If winds align with terrain, in combination with the dry fuels, extreme fire behavior with active movement can be expected. These conditions pose additional hazards to firefighters, limiting access and affecting on-the-ground progress.
 

CLOSURES AND RESTRICTIONS:
The Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest has issued an Area/Road/Trail Closure (Closure #01-02-03-24-05) effective July 31, 2024. This Order is for public and firefighter safety during fire suppression efforts of the Grouse Fire. Closure information and maps are posted on the Forests’ website and the fire’s Inciweb page as they are in place. https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/mtbdf-grouse.

The Pioneer Mountains Scenic Byway remains open. Those recreating or traveling in the fire area are encouraged to be aware of the situation and to pay attention to increased fire traffic.

A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in place over the fire area.

The Forest is in Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. Campfires are allowed only in a permanent metal fire grate/ring provided by the Forest Service in a designated, developed recreation site. Smoking is restricted to vehicles, in buildings, or in an area clear of flammable materials. Devices with an on/off switch that use LPG fuels are allowed in an area clear of flammable materials within 3 feet of the device.

Tamaño: 1,311 acres

Fecha de inicio: 22 de julio de 2024

Causa: A ser determinada

Ubicación: 5 millas al oeste de Mosier, OR

Contención:  84%

Combustibles: Arbustos, restos de madera y césped

Aspectos destacados:

Ayer las cuadrillas tuvieron éxito con la quema táctica de secciones en el interior. Esta táctica se utilizó para reducir la cantidad de vegetación no quemada y ayudará a disminuir la cantidad de fuego activo y humo dentro del perímetro. Los bomberos continuaron el trabajo de neutralización a lo largo del cortafuegos y la contención aumentó a 84%.

Operaciones:

Ayer, las cuadrillas monitorearon y patrullaron el borde del incendio. Las cuadrillas de locomotoras a lo largo de la línea sur neutralizaron un foco de calor en el interior que ardía con un combustible mixto de coníferas. En la línea noroeste, el terreno es empinado con el peligro de rocas rodantes y escombros. Las cuadrillas manuales llevaron el cabo el trabajo de neutralización según fuera necesario y donde fuera posible. Se mejorá el cortafuegos a lo largo del extremo noreste del incendio.

Hoy, las cuadrillas seguirán vigilando todo el perímetro del incendio para garantizar la seguridad de las líneas, extinguir focos de calor donde sea accesible y aumentar la contención desde Old Hwy 30 hasta I-84.

Clima e intensidad del incendio:

Se pronostican nuevamente condiciones cálidas y secas para el día hoy, y seguirán ardiendo secciones residuales de vegetación lo que producirá humo visible junto con posibles llamas. Se pide a los conductores que tengan cuidado en la Interestatal 84, ya que los bomberos siguen trabajando en la zona.

Cause: Undetermined

Location: 5 miles west of Mosier, OR

Containment:  84%

Fuels: Brush, timber, and grass

Highlights:

Crews were successful with tactical firing of interior pockets yesterday. This tactic was used to decrease the amount of unburned vegetation and will help decrease the amount of active fire and smoke within the perimeter. Firefighters continued mopping up along the fire line and were able to increase containment to 84%.

Operations:

Yesterday, crews monitored and patrolled the fire’s perimeter. Along the southern line, engine crews mopped up an interior hot spot burning in mixed conifer fuel type. On the northwestern line, terrain is steep with rolling rocks and debris hazards. Hand crews mopped up as needed and where safety permitted. The fire line was improved along the northeastern edge of the fire.  

Today, crews will continue to monitor the entire fire’s perimeter to ensure continued security of lines, extinguish hot spots where accessible, and work to increase containment from Old Hwy 30 to I-84. 

Fire Behavior and Weather:

Hot and dry conditions are forecasted again for today, and residual pockets of vegetation will continue to burn producing visible smoke and potential flames. Drivers are asked to please use caution on Interstate 84 as firefighters are still working in the area.

Progress continues on the Battle Mountain Complex, firefighters prepare for Red Flag Conditions.

UKIAH, Ore. – Firefighters continue to make strides holding lines and building containment on the Battle Mountain Complex as they prepare for rising temperatures and Red Flag Conditions today. 

Temperatures have been rising steadily and are expected to crest 100 degrees today. Fire officials also expect wind gusts up to 20 miles per hour in addition to limited visibility from smoke from other fires in the region. High temperatures are expected to persist through next week with lightning possible this weekend. 

Today, firefighters will focus on gaining mop-up depth and cooling materials deeper from the perimeter along the entire fire. As temperatures rise, mop up helps ensure that any reheated or ignited materials can’t escape the fire perimeter. 

In Zone I, crews continue mopping up around structures and extending containment. Firefighters will continue mopping up along the southeast corner of the Monkey Creek fire near Monument. They’re also focused on securing containment along the north. 

In Zone II, firefighters are focused on the north-central region between Ditch Creek and the Potamus drainage as they look to bring the fire to control features where they can stop the fire. 

Residents should continue to expect to see smoke in the interior and the unburnt island within the fire perimeter as unburnt vegetation burns well within the fire’s footprint. Crews will continue to patrol the fire’s perimeter, including portions considered contained.

Oregon Department of Forestry Incident Management Team 1 will transfer command of the Monkey Creek Fire to ODF Incident Management Team 3 tonight at 6:00 pm. This will put Team 3 in command of the entire fire.
