> NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL II
> CURRENT SITUATION:
>
> One new large fire was reported in the Southern California Area. Initial
> attack activity was light to moderate nationwide. Containment goals were
> reached on several large fires in Idaho, Montana and Hawaii. The National
> Interagency Coordination Center processed orders for helicopters, lead
> planes, an air attack aircraft, infrared aircraft, radio equipment,
engines,
> and miscellaneous overhead. Very high to extreme fire danger indices were
> reported in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, California, Alaska,
> Arizona, New Mexico, and South Dakota.
>
> ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
>
> An Area Command Team (Mann) is assigned to manage the large fires in
western
> Colorado and southwest Wyoming. A Type II Incident Management Team
> (Anderson) has been ordered to stage in Denver.
>
> WILD HORSE BASIN, Rock Springs District, BLM. A Type II Incident
Management
> Team (Gardner) is assigned. This fire, near Rock Springs, WY, is burning
in
> pinyon pine, juniper, sagebrush and grass. The fire is moving east toward
> the Sage Creek drainage. Several structures and a powerline are
threatened.
>
> BUSTER FLATS, Dinosaur National Monument, NPS. A Type II Incident
Management
> Team (Sisk) is assigned. This fire is burning in pinyon pine and juniper
75
> miles northwest of Craig, CO in very steep terrain. Retardant drops are
> preventing spread of the fire to the north. Gusting winds and low relative
> humidities are challenging containment efforts.
>
> CONE MOUNTAIN, Grand Junction District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management
> Team (Hartman) is assigned. This fire is burning in ponderosa pine, pinyon
> pine and juniper 38 miles southwest of Grand Junction, CO. Another day of

Crews
> made significant progress on fireline construction. One primary residence,
> two commercial buildings and one outbuilding have been destroyed.
>
> BLACK BUTTE, Rock Springs District, BLM. This fire is burning in grass,

>
> DRY FORK, Medicine Bow National Forest. The fire is burning in cottonwood
> and greasewood in the Cheyenne River bottom, 14 miles northeast of Bill,
WY.
> Inaccessibility and heavy fuel loading are impeding efforts toward
> containment.
>
> KLINGER, Craig District, BLM. This fire is burning in pinyon pine and
> juniper 15 miles southwest of Rangley, CO. The fire is threatening a
> pipeline, a pump station and several structures. Strong winds and low

> BORROW PIT, Salt Lake Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management
Team
> (Shell) is assigned. This fire is 20 miles southwest of Salt Lake City
near

> major communication sites are being protected by retardant and bucket
drops.
> Suppression efforts have been successful in spite of red flag conditions.
> One outbuilding has been destroyed.
>
> ROCK CREEK, Wasatch-Cache National Forest. This fire is 20 miles east of
> Logan, UT. Strong winds, low relative humidities and low fuel moistures
are
> hindering containment efforts.
>
> ALASKA AREA LARGE FIRES:
>
> Alaska currently has 21 unstaffed and uncontained fires in limited
> protection areas for 281,320 acres.
>
> ZITZIANA, Tanana Zone, BLM. This lightning-caused fire, which started on
> 6/13, is 85 miles west of Fairbanks. Burnout operations around two cabins
on
> Wilderness Lake were successful. The fire is nearing cabin sites on
> Kindinana Lake, where more burnout operations will be initiated if needed.
> The south flank of the fire has reached an old burn area which is stopping
> the fire's progress toward the east.
>
> BEARPAW MOUNTAIN, Tanana Zone, BLM. The fire is burning in black spruce
100
> miles southwest of Fairbanks. It was started on 6/24 by lightning.
Observed
