Oregon Incident Management
Team #2 is transferring command of the fire to a local fire management
organization Sunday at 6am.
Yesterday
Some
interior burning continues to fill in unburned islands well inside control lines
on the north side, tying the fire into the old Thorn Creek burn, where forest
vegetation and litter is light. Fire
suppression repair continued on the northeast to southeast perimeter. Aerial reconnaissance was used to patrol
the perimeter and monitor fire behavior.
Weather and Fire Behavior
Afternoon
cloud build up is predicted again today. There is a potential for isolated showers. Temperatures are expected to be in the upper
50’s on the ridges and 70’s in the valleys. Erratic and gusty winds could cause flare
ups. Fire behavior includes isolated
surface spread and sustained smoldering.
Today’s Operations
The
northwest and eastern flanks are in mop-up status. Other areas around the perimeter are being
patrolled and suppression repair is progressing. Aerial reconnaissance will patrol and
monitor fire behavior.
Closures
The
public is advised to travel slowly
through these areas and be aware of the possibility of falling trees weakened
from fire, rolling rocks and fire traffic.
