INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
THURSDAY, JULY 20, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL III
CURRENT SITUATION:
Initial attack activity diminished somewhat in most areas yesterday. New
large fires were reported in the Western Great Basin, Eastern Great Basin,
Rocky Mountain, Northwest, and Southern Areas. Lightning-ignited
holdovers are likely to appear today in eastern Oregon, Idaho and western
Montana as hot, dry weather returns. Aircraft, crew, equipment and
overhead mobilization through the National Interagency Coordination Center
continued at a moderate pace. Very high to extreme fire danger indices
were reported in Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Idaho, Utah,
Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Alabama.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Saleen) is staging in Salmon, Idaho.
CLEAR CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Carvelho) is assigned. This fire is northwest of Salmon, ID.
Active burning is occurring in pockets on the south and east sides of the
fire, but spread is minimal. Rolling material in steep terrain is slowing
fireline construction. Other deterrents to containment include extremely
dry fuels and limited access.
BURGDORF JUNCTION, Payette National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Hefner) is assigned. The fire is 27 miles north of McCall, ID.
Isolated torching continues on the interior of the fire. Residences, a
fire lookout, salmon habitat, and watershed values are threatened. Crews
are making significant progress constructing fireline.
BARE CANYON, Targhee National Forest. This timber fire is 32 miles west
of Dubois, ID. The fire received precipitation; minimal fire activity was
observed. Fireline construction and mopup are ongoing.
SANDAL, Northwest Utah State. This fire is 35 miles west of Logan, UT
near the Golden Spike National Monument. Shifting winds are causing
numerous directional changes on the fire. Observed fire behavior includes
torching, running and crowning.
DOPPLER, Northwest Utah State. This fire is 24 miles west of Ogden, UT.
Shifting winds, low relative humidities and torching are hampering
containment efforts. Crews are mopping up the lower elevations of the
fire.
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. Crews have been able to hold all firelines,
and demobilization of excess resources will begin today.
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. Crews are making good progress
constructing fireline. Current threats are to residences, outbuildings, a
communication tower and mine properties. Active burning in cured grass
and the presence of abandoned mines are causes for concern.
BEOWAWE, Elko Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Ostman) is assigned. This fire is burning in grass and sagebrush 40
miles west of Elko, NV. The fire crossed Brook Creek and Buckhorn Mine
Road. Direct attack of the head and west flank of the fire is not
possible due to steep terrain. Challenges to containment include extreme
fire behavior and very hot and dry conditions with no improvement in the
forecast.
AURORA, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This lightning-caused fire is
burning northeast of Bridgeport, CA near the Aurora Mine. The forward
spread of the fire has been halted. Some spot fires are still occurring.
Crews and dozers are making progress on fireline construction.
BERNDT, Battle Mountain Field Office, BLM. This fire is north of Austin,
NV. Fuels are sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper. Moderate fire behavior
is occurring with some torching and running observed. The fire was
ignited by lightning.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Swope) is managing the 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.
The fire received some light rain and thunderstorm activity. The
evacuation request is still in place from Mud Creek to the Alta
Campground, but most residents have returned. Obstacles to containment
include rugged terrain and difficulty in securing anchor points on the
west half of the fire.
SEELEY COMPLEX, Lolo National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Corbin) is assigned. This is a complex of 16 fires which are 34 miles
northeast of Missoula in the Seeley Lakes area. Two new fires have been
added to the complex. Crews were pulled off the fireline on two of the
fires, due to concerns regarding escape routes, safety zones and falling
snags. Lack of road access to the fires is slowing suppression efforts.
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 44 fires which are 17
miles southeast of Seeley Lake, MT. Dry lightning passed through the area
and five new fires have been ignited within the complex. Crews are
engaged in aggressive mopup on the staffed fires. Twenty fires are in
patrol status.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
CITADEL, Craig District, BLM. This fire is burning in pinyon pine,
juniper and sagebrush 16 miles northwest of Meeker, CO. A burnout is
planned to protect threatened ranch buildings, livestock and private
grazing land. Containment problems include strong shifting winds, low
relative humidities, heavy fuel loading, and extremely dry fuels.
RED CANYON, Rawlins District, BLM. This fire is near Lander, WY. It is
burning in thick sagebrush and grass. Several nearby structures are
threatened.
COTTONWOOD DIVIDE, Rawlins District, BLM. This fire is burning in pinyon
pine, juniper and sagebrush near Lander, WY. Threats are to several
historical structures.
JUNIPER 2, Craig District, BLM. This fire is near Craig, CO. High winds
and low relative humidities continue to cause problems. Containment was
expected late last night.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
ALDERDALE, Washington State Lands. The fire is burning in sagebrush fuels
in Klickitat County. The fire jumped firelines on the northwest corner
yesterday and threatened wheat fields, crop lands and adjacent structures.
Steep terrain, winds generated by the Columbia River Canyon and low
afternoon humidities are impeding containment.
WHITE RIDGE #1, Southeast Washington State Forestry. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Johnson) is assigned. This fire is 35 miles west of
Yakima, WA. The fire was caused by a lightning strike on 7/17. Current
threats are to timber, slash and a watershed. Isolated torching and
spotting are a concern.
2 HORSE MOUNTAIN, Prineville District, BLM. The fire, which was ignited
by lightning on 7/18, is burning in grass, sagebrush, pinyon pine and
juniper 45 miles northeast of Prineville, OR. Precautionary evacuation of
Pine Creek Ranch and Camp Hancock has taken place. Observed fire behavior
includes short range spotting, torching and running in draws. A portion
of the fire is within the Sheep Basin Wilderness Study Area.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
CASA LOMA, Eglin Air Force Base. This fire is one of several arson fires
burning near Niceville, FL. No new information was reported. This will
be the last report unless new information is received.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
GOAT, Lassen-Modoc Ranger Unit, California Department of Forestry. This
fire is burning in timber with brush understory eight miles northwest of
Susanville, CA. Evacuation orders are in effect for the Lake Forest
Estates subdivision. The head of the fire is still active and numerous
spot fires have been suppressed.
