INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL III
CURRENT SITUATION:
Initial attack activity was moderate in the Northwest and Great Basin.
Precipitation and high humidities along with the lightning kept most new
starts from growing rapidly. New large fires were reported in the Eastern
Great Basin, Western Great Basin, Northwest, Rocky Mountain, Northern
California, and Southern Areas. Containment goals were reached on many of
the large fires in Nevada, Idaho and Utah. Aircraft, crew, equipment and
overhead mobilization through the National Interagency Coordination Center
was steady. Very high to extreme fire danger indices were reported in
Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and
Wyoming.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
CLEAR CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Carvelho) is assigned. This fire is northwest of Salmon, ID. Fire
spread has moderated over the past two days due to an increase in
humidity. The southern end of the fire is burning in the Frank Church
Wilderness.
BURGDORF JUNCTION, Payette National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Hefner) is assigned. The fire is 27 miles north of McCall, ID. The
southeast corner of the fire has spotted across the river. Hindrances to
containment include heavy fuels, steep terrain and shifting winds from
passing thunder cells. BARE CANYON, Targhee National Forest. This timber
fire is 32 miles west of Dubois, ID. The fire received precipitation
again yesterday. Crews are making good progress toward containment.
DOPPLER, Northwest Utah State. This fire is 24 miles west of Ogden, UT.
Erratic winds, steep slopes and heavy fuels are impeding containment. A
doppler radar site and fences are threatened.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
BILK CREEK COMPLEX, Winnemucca Field Office, BLM. A Type I Incident
Management Team (Hutchison) is assigned. The fires are burning in grass
and sagebrush 50 miles north of Winnemucca, NV. Fires in the complex
include Dry Creek, Cherry Creek, Riverside, Double H, Garden Springs,
Willow Creek, and Sod House. Extremely dry fuels and wind gusts from
passing thunderstorm cells are challenging containment efforts. Ranch
structures are threatened.
PRINCE ROYAL COMPLEX, Winnemucca Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Suwyn) is assigned. These fires are burning in grass and
sagebrush three miles south of Imlay, NV. The fires continued to burn
actively yesterday. The Explosive fire, which has been added to this
complex, is threatening a mine containing two tons of explosives. Limited
access, rough terrain and high winds are hindering containment efforts.
BEOWAWE, Elko Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning in grass and
sagebrush 40 miles west of Elko, NV. It was ignited by lightning on 7/17
and rekindled yesterday.
AURORA, Toiyabe National Forest. This lightning-caused fire is burning
northeast of Bridgeport, CA near the Aurora Mine. The fire is wind-driven
in pinyon pine and juniper fuels. Crowning fire behavior has been
observed, and the fire burned through retardant lines.
BIG SPRINGS, Elko Field Office, BLM. This fire is 26 miles southeast of
Wells, NV. Fuels involved are grass, sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper.
The fire had a flare up yesterday, and some interior heat remains.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Swope) is assigned to a staging area
in Missoula, MT.
LITTLE BLUE, Bitterroot National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Frye) is assigned. This fire is 25 miles southwest of Darby, MT.
Observed fire behavior includes mostly underburning with occasional
torching in the afternoon. The fire received light rain with increased
winds due to nearby thunderstorm activity. Resources threatened include
plantations, timber, a wilderness study area, trout habitat, and public
utilities.
SEELEY COMPLEX, Lolo National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Corbin) is assigned. This complex of 14 fires is 34 miles northeast of
Missoula in the Seeley Lakes area. The most active fire is reported to be
crowning and spotting 200 to 300 feet. Two of the fires are unstaffed but
have displayed little fire activity. Line construction and mopup are
underway on the other 11 fires. Helicopters are transporting crews to
previously unstaffed fires.
CLEARWATER COMPLEX. Southwestern Land Office, Montana Department of
Natural Resources and Conservation. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Specht) is assigned. This complex consists of 39 fires which are 17
miles southeast of Seeley Lake, MT. Five of the fires are staffed, some
are in patrol status, and the rest have been declared out. The acreage
increase is due to more accurate mapping.
EAGLE POINT, Bitterroot National Forest. This fire is 15 miles northeast
of Hamilton, MT and is burning in a steep, heavily timbered area which is
inaccessible by road. Cooler temperatures and higher humidities have
allowed crews to make good progress on fireline construction.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
GRANT, Florida State Division of Forestry. The fire is in Brevard County.
Fence line and several vehicles were damaged.
VALKARIA, Florida State Division of Forestry. This lightning-caused fire
is in Brevard County. Three fences and an ATM machine were damaged. A
total of 70 threatened structures were successfully protected by engines.
MAYTOWN SPUR ROAD, Florida State Division of Forestry. This fire is in
Volusia County. The fire received light rain.
CASA LOMA, Eglin Air Force Base. This fire is one of several arson fires
burning near Niceville, FL. No new information was received.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
JUNIPER 2, Craig District, BLM. This fire is near Craig, CO. Control
problems are high winds and low humidities. Airtanker drops have been
successful in protecting structures.
YELLOW BUTTE, Black Hills National Forest. This lightning-caused fire is
northeast of Newcastle, Wyoming. No new information was reported. This
will be the last report unless new information is received.
SAGE CREEK #3. Rock Springs District, BLM. This complex is comprised of
three fires 25 miles southwest of Rock Springs, WY. No new information
was reported. This will be the last report unless new information is
received.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
ALDERDALE, Washington State Lands. The fire is burning in sagebrush fuels
in Klickitat County. One barn was destroyed and 20 other structures are
threatened. The fire has burned out of a canyon and is moving northeast.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
GOAT, Lassen-Modoc Ranger Unit, California Department of Forestry. This
fire is burning in timber with brush understory ten miles west of
Susanville, CA. The fire is reported to be spotting and torching and
moving in a northeasterly direction. Evacuation orders were put into
effect for a subdivision. Structure protection operations are underway.
OUTLOOK:
Monsoon moisture moving northeast across Colorado will produce scattered
thunderstorms. Moisture over the Pacific Northwest from Washington east
to Montana and northern Wyoming will produce afternoon thunderstorms.
Lower level dryness and above normal temperatures will keep the fire
danger high.
Eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Idaho, and Nevada will be mostly sunny
to partly cloudy. There is a chance of afternoon high-based thunderstorms
in northern and central Idaho and northern Nevada. High temperatures will
be in the mid 80's to mid 90's in the valleys and in the upper 70's and
80's in the mountains. Winds will be southwest to northwest at 5 to 15
mph. Minimum relative humidities will range from 5 to 20 percent.
Montana and Wyoming will be partly cloudy with a chance of scattered
showers and afternoon thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the mid
80's to lower 90's at lower elevations and from 65 to 80 in the mountains.
Winds will be southwest to northwest at 10 to 20 mph. Minimum relative
humidities will be from 20 to 35 percent.
Colorado and Utah will be partly cloudy. Colorado will have scattered dry
thunderstorms. High temperatures will be 65 to 80 in the mountains, 80's
and 90's at lower elevations and 100 to 105 degrees in the Utah deserts.
Minimum relative humidities will be from 10 to 20 percent. Upslope and up
valley winds will be 5 to 15 mph.
A fire weather watch is posted in northern Alabama and inland Florida for
low relative humidities.

Summary of Forecasts & Threats
SYNOPSIS: A strong high pressure aloft will persist over the West Gulf
States and southern portions of the Rockies and High Plains, and may extend
further north and west with time, resulting in hot and mostly dry weather
over these areas. Upper-level troughs moving over the top of the ridge will
bring occasional periods of thundershowers, some heavy and severe, to parts
of the Midwest, Northeast, Middle Atlantic and interior Southeast throughout
the next two weeks. Showers along fronts settling into the Southeast for the
most part will not be heavy or widspread enough to significantly offset the
effects of hot weather in most of the Southeastern drought region.
THREATS
Long-term drought continues over portions of the Plains, with little change
expected, as high temperatures will offset the benefits of local
thunderstorms.
Hot, dry weather will persist over much of the southern Plains and western
half of the Gulf Coast Region.
General risk of wildfires will remain high over a large part of the interior
West due to continued above-normal temperatures and lack of widespread rain.
Long-term drought will continue over much of the Southeast.
Occasionsal outbreaks of locally heavy and severe thundershowers will affect
parts of the Midwest, Northeast, and some interior sections of the
Southeast.
DETAILED SUMMARY
For Friday July 21 through Sunday July 23: Hot weather will cover much of
the southern Great Plains and Rockies, as high pressure aloft continues to
dominate weather patterns. Much above normal temperatures will cover the
southern half of the Great Plains and interior South for most of the
forecast period. A cold front will bring thundershowers and cooler weather
to much of the Northeast early in the weekend. Further to the south,
scattered thudershowers will for the most part not be heavy or widespread
enough to counteract the effects of high temperatures in most of the
southeastern drought area. Temperatures will be above normal over most of
the interior West, with only widely scattered showers and thundershowers
interrupting the heat.
For Monday July 24 through Tuesday August 1: Forecast models consistently
show that mean troughs near the west coast and over the eastern seaboard
will persist along with a strong ridge over the Great Plains and Rocky
Mountain region. There is some indicatiion that the ridge and eastern trough
may move somewhat further west for at least part of this time period. Hot
and dry conditions will continue over much of the southern Plains and west
Gulf Region, with well above-normal temperatures and little rain also
expected over the most of the interior West. Active upper level troughs
moving over the top of the ridge and dropping southeastward should bring
episodes of thundershowers, some locally heavy and severe, with occasional
warm and humid days alternating with pariods of pleasantly cool weather, to
the Midwest, Middle Atlantic States, and Northeast.
