Smoke Outlook 7/30 - 7/31 Eastern Oregon

Special Statement

An Air Quality Alert has been issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for Harney, Grant, Wheeler, Baker, and Malheur Counties.

Fire

There are multiple fires affecting the forecast area. For more information on these incidents, please visit Inciweb.

Smoke

Much improved air quality area wide as a weak cold front passed through the area last night, bringing cooler temperatures, higher humidity and rain in some areas. As a result of the cooler temperatures and higher humidity, less active fire behavior is expected today. Light winds from the west to northwest will keep those areas north and west of active fires clear today. Those areas near active fire and downwind with continue to see smoke impacts during the day. Overnight smoke is expected to flow down drainage from active fires impacting those communities located in those drainages below active fire. UNHEALTHY to USG conditions are expected overall in Burns, Seneca, and John Day. Monument will continue to see the highest levels of smoke where UNHEALTHY conditions are expected. Fossil, Spray, Prineville and Mitchell will see GOOD to MODERATE air quality.

Additional Smoke Outlooks

Smoke outlooks for adjacent areas are posted on the Fire and Smoke Map.

https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2024/7/16/hill-fire

Start Date: Monday July 15, 2024, at 5:40 PM

Percent Contained: 69%

Personnel: 915

CURRENT SITUATION: 

Fire crews are diligently working to improve containment of the Hill Fire daily. Last night, hotspots from deep-burning logs were discovered on Sugarloaf Mountain and were promptly extinguished. Crews are also addressing and extinguishing hotspots in other areas as interior smoke decreases and equipment is being backhauled. 

Yesterday, with the assistance of Resource Advisors, firefighters enhanced suppression repair efforts to restore the environment to its natural condition. One effective tactic being used is the construction of waterbars. These are dirt berms, 1-2 feet high, placed along firebreaks or roadways to direct water runoff to the surrounding area. Waterbars help minimize erosion and protect natural resources that have been impacted during firefighting operations.

Evacuation orders and warnings have been revised for the Hill Fire. Please see the links below for information on the changes.

This written update will occur every other day, the next written update will be August 1st. 

WEATHER: 

Marine influence will peak today with some patchy marine fog even possible in low valleys. Highs will struggle to even reach 80, especially on the west side of the fire, with RH solidly above 30 percent. Mostly gentle terrain winds will persist with only a moderate northwest sea breeze in the afternoon. An inversion will quickly return tonight, bringing much poorer RH recoveries to high ridges. Conditions will warm and dry sharply on Wednesday with highs returning to near 90 and RH below 30 percent. Despite a weaker sea breeze, better mixing will slightly enhance terrain-based winds.

CLOSURES:

Forest Closure Order currently in effect for the area impacted by the Hill Fire. It is temporarily prohibited to be on any national forest system land, trail, or road within the closure area. To view the closure order and map of closure area visit the following link www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd1191963.pdf.

The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services in coordination with the Humboldt County Department of Health & Human Services and the American Red Cross-Gold Country Region established an Evacuation Center for those impacted by the Hill Fire to receive fire information. The Evacuation Center is located at Trinity Valley Elementary School, 730 CA-96 in Willow Creek. The center is not open to the public, however information on how to request assistance is posted at this location.

Fire

Yesterday, interior fuels on the Trout fire consumed near Boone Meadow and SE progression just south of Smith Meadow was minimal. The Borel Fire was active, mostly on the eastern front, and firing operations to secure the NW side of the fire were essentially completed. Expected fire behavior on the Borel includes possible crown fire runs and spotting. 

Smoke

Yesterday, smoke transport was again influenced by westerly winds and tracked to the east/northeast. The plumes from Borel and Trout fires impacted the lower Owens Valley, causing periods of USG to UNHEALTHY air quality there. Today, westerly flow will continue, albeit slightly less vigorous, and western foothill communities and the North Owens Valley will again see generally GOOD to MODERATE conditions. The southern Owens Valley can expect periods of MODERATE to UNHEALTHY conditions from Lone Pine to Ridgecrest. Lake Isabella and Kernville can expect periods of MODERATE to USG in the AM through midday as smoke mixes down and begins to track east. Conditions in Lake Isabella and Kernville should improve by late afternoon as winds increase.

Smoke Outlook: https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/d393fd74

Lost Bucket Fire 100% Contained

Firefighters continue to engage in full-suppression tactics on the Homestead Complex. The seven fires within the complex area currently have a total acreage of 1,636 acres with 5% containment. There are currently 495 personnel working with the incident. Fire managers are directing resources to fires based on threat to property, infrastructure, industry, and areas with the highest probability of success.

An isolated warm front moved into the area yesterday, bringing the chance of moisture, lower temperatures, higher humidities, and total cloud cover through the morning. Clouds will disperse throughout the day. Fire intensity and rate of spread is expected to be minimal thanks to high humidities and cool temperatures. Although rain may occur in some areas, it is unlikely that the fires in the complex will be affected.  

Fire managers declared Lost Bucket Fire (34 acres) 100% contained yesterday afternoon.

Yesterday firefighters caught, lined, and extinguished the spot fires on Reynolds Butte Fire (212 acres) with the help of a helicopter dropping water. Crews utilized hose lays in their operations and are continuing to expand and improve the line around the fire. 

Crews completed the handline on the Horse Heaven Creek Fire (442 acres). They will begin strengthening the defensible area around roads and the handline today. Masticators arrived at the Bullpup Fire (133 acres) and are working to complete fireline along the spur road. Crews are continuing brushing operations. The Fuller Lake Fire (72 acres) also received additional heavy equipment yesterday that will begin clearing roads.

The Salmon 33 Fire (153 acres) saw minimal fire activity yesterday. Firefighters finished constructing line in several areas and are now working to strengthen the firelines. Rolling, burning, debris remains a hazard to firefighters in this area due to the steepness of slopes. Sawyers on the No Man Fire (591 acres) are working to fell standing dead trees and hazardous trees along the recently finished fireline. The stretch of line on Chilcoot Mt. has been completed. A Type-1 helicopter dropped buckets of water yesterday.

Current forest fire restrictions and danger ratings are: Fire Danger Rating: Very High. Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPLs): 3. Public Use Fire Restrictions (PURs): 3. 

CLOSURES: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Roseburg District, has issued a closure order for portions of BLM land which border the Umpqua National Forest Emergency Fire Closure north of Steamboat.

Tuesday, July 30, 2024

Today the Payette National Forest issued a Forest Closure Order to protect public safety during the Limepoint and Cliff Mountain wildfires (see below). This morning the Southern Area Red Complex Incident Management Team joined with the Payette National Forest, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest, Bureau of Land Management and Idaho Department of Lands in command of the Limepoint and Cliff Mountain Fires in the Hells Canyon area, located on the Payette National Forest in west-central Idaho, east of the Snake River bordering Oregon.

Note: A community meeting about the Limepoint/Oxbow and Cliff Mountain Fires will be held 7:00 p.m. tomorrow evening, Wednesday, July 31st at the Adams County Recreation Center at 104 S. Galena Street, Council, Idaho 83612. An operational briefing about the fires at the meeting will be presented via Facebook Live on the Payette National Forest’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/payettenationalforest/).

Limepoint Fire

The Limepoint Fire is north of Oxbow Dam in Adams County Idaho and was started by lightning on July 24th, burning in tall grass and brush. The southern part of the fire was once a smaller, separate fire named the Oxbow Fire, but both fires burned together and are now collectively known as the Limepoint fire. It is now 17,908 acres with no containment. The area of the fire in the Indian Creek drainage threatens the communities of Cuprum and Bear, both of which remain evacuated per Adams County Sheriff’s Office. 

Yesterday, the fire was active on all sides. Firefighters concentrated their efforts on the north flank of the fire, where the fire hooked around and pushed south toward Cuprum. They successfully kept the fire west and north of Cuprum with the help of helicopter drops. The fire continued to flank northward in this area. On the south side of Indian Creek fire crossed the ridge and spotted in the Bull Gulch area west of Bear across Forest Service road 071 (Flat Creek Road/Barbour Flat Road).  The fire grew to three acres with one to six-inch flame lengths before firefighters arrived to contain it. Last night firefighters protected homes from fire backing down to the Snake River with small, defensible tactical firing operations.

Two hand crews, 12 engines, three bulldozers and two large helicopters are working on the Limepoint Fire. Full suppression of it is challenged by lack of firefighting personnel and equipment, including aircraft, due to an active western fire season and steep, rugged terrain and dry, burnable vegetation. More people and equipment have been ordered, but due to competition for resources with other fires, it is unknown when they will arrive. In the meantime, firefighters are focusing efforts on protecting and preparing threatened structures in Oxbow, Cuprum, Bear and Hells Canyon Recreation Area until resources arrive. A primary objective is to keep the fire west of Indian Creek. Light rain over the fire last night and lower temperatures today will help slow growth of the fire in grassy areas and other light fuels. “Take advantage of the moisture to anchor, flank and pinch this fire,” said Red Team Operations Chief Josh Graham. Firefighters will continue to scout areas to identify areas from which they can hold the fire directly at its edge or from a defensible anchor point once more people and equipment arrive. Firefighters will work throughout the night to ensure point protection of structures at risk.

Cliff Mountain Fire

The Cliff Mountain Fire started on July 25th in Hells Canyon National Recreation Area in wilderness just below Hells Canyon Dam 25 miles east of Joseph, Oregon in Adams and Idaho Counties, Idaho. It is 1,101 acres with no containment, burning mostly in wilderness, with growth slowed in some areas due to steep rocks. Firefighters are monitoring the fire, but no ground personnel or equipment have been assigned to it.

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR

Showers will continue this morning from a cold front that moved through last night. Air operations are likely to be limited due to an inversion during morning hours and fire-wide smoke produced in the afternoon. Instability aloft poses a slight chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. High pressure will bring hotter and drier weather starting Wednesday. The chance of rain is 60 percent today, with minimum relative humidity 39 to 44 percent. High temperatures are forecasted as 74 to 79 with north to northeast winds around 8 mph. 

Increased humidity and lower temperatures from the cold front may moderate fire activity in lighter fuels such as grassy areas. A weather station on the Limepoint Fire registered 0.27 inches of rain. Where stringers of brush and timber align with wind, upslope fire spread and some spotting could occur. Backing fire may ignite light, flashy fuels laterally and allow for rapid uphill runs with spotting above and to the side when winds are across slope. Rolling material can cause new spots low on slopes that remain hidden by smoke long after they are established. If thunderstorms form in the afternoon, rapid spread may occur with direction of spread changing quickly as cells pass over with outflow winds.

Air quality information is available at www.airnow.gov and www.wildlandfiresmoke.net.

Evacuations: 

The communities of Cuprum and Bear have been evacuated per Adams County Sheriff’s Department and remain under a “GO” evacuation.
