INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
SATURDAY, JULY 22, 2000 - 0900 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL III
CURRENT SITUATION:
New large fires were reported in the Southwest, Eastern Great Basin,
Northern California, and Southern California Areas. Firefighters on eight of
the large fires in the west reached their containment goals. Forecast dry
lightning followed by strong winds in the northern Great Basin today will
challenge containment efforts on fires in Oregon, Idaho, Montana and
Wyoming. Mobilization of aircraft, equipment, crews and overhead through the
National Interagency Coordination Center continues at a steady pace. Very
high to extreme fire danger indices were reported in all the western states
and in Georgia and Alabama.
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. A burnout
operation was completed on the northwest side of the fire. The fire made
major runs near the Salmon River corridor on the northeast perimeter. Some
fireline on the southeast side of the fire was also lost. Crews were removed
from these areas. The fire is moving toward Panther Creek.
BURGDORF JUNCTION, Payette National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Hefner) is assigned. The fire is 27 miles north of McCall, ID.
Torching and spotting continues, but little spread has been observed. A red
flag warning has been issued for high temperatures, low humidities and gusty
winds today. Suppressing spots and mopping up in areas of patchy burn on the
south end of the fire is slowing line construction progress.
ECHO, Northwest Utah State. This fire is burning in steep, rough terrain 35
miles southeast of Ogden, UT. Extreme fire behavior and flame lengths in
excess of 12 feet are causing suppression problems.
MEADOW, Lower Snake River District, BLM. This fire, 25 miles southeast of
Jordan Valley, OR, was ignited by lightning on 7/18. Both the north and
south flanks of the fire have been active. Red flag conditions are
challenging containment efforts. There is now little threat to the ranches
in the area.
DEVINE CANYON, Upper Snake River District, Southcentral Idaho Area. The fire
is burning in sagebrush, juniper and grass 13 miles south of Oakley, ID.
Threatened resources include deer winter range, bighorn sheep range, sage
grouse habitat and watershed.
IRON MINE LAKE, Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The fire is 52 miles
southeast of Salt Lake City, UT. Torching, low visibility due to smoke, and
spot fires up to 1/4 mile ahead are hindering containment efforts. Airtanker
support has been essential to slowing the fire's movement through dense,
downed woody debris. Mopup operations along the fireline have commenced.
BARE CANYON, Targhee National Forest. This timber fire is 32 miles west of
Dubois, ID. Fire activity has been minimal. Crews, supported by helicopters,
are progressing with containment and mopup activities.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Swope) is managing the Missoula, MT
staging area.
LITTLE BLUE, Bitterroot National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Frye) is assigned. This fire is 25 miles southwest of Darby, MT. Unburned
islands within the control lines continue to burn. Crews are making good
progress on mopup. The West Fork Road and local campgrounds were opened to
the public. However, the Painted Rocks Lake remains restricted due to
helicopter bucket use of the lake.
SEELEY COMPLEX, Lolo National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Corbin) is assigned. This complex is 34 miles northeast of Missoula in the
Seeley Lakes area. Crews continue mopup operations on nine of the fires in
this complex which are contained. Three fires are contained and are being
monitored. There are still concerns regarding escape routes, safety zones
and falling snags on two fires in this complex.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
BERNDT, Battle Mountain Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Burdick) is assigned. This fire is 15 miles north of Austin, NV. Fuels
are sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper. Fire activity has been limited to
hot spots close to the fireline and occasional torching. All divisions
report good progress toward containment. Heavy fuel concentrations, high
temperatures and difficult terrain are impeding handline construction.
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. Crews are making good progress constructing fireline. Mopup
operations and patrol of the fire perimeter are ongoing.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
BIRCHER, Durango Dispatch Center Counties. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Hartman) is assigned. This fire started in Montezuma County, CO and
spread into Mesa Verde National Park. The fire made several large runs
yesterday afternoon. Two outbuildings have been destroyed. Six residences,
five commercial buildings and 20 outbuildings are threatened. The weather
forecast promises little improvement over the weekend.
SWITCHBACK, Craig District, BLM. This fire is seven miles east of Rangely,
CO. Hot, dry, windy weather and extremely dry fuels are contributing to
large fire growth. Rate of spread has been estimated at one mile per hour. A
powerline and a cabin are threatened on the west flank. Much of the fire
area is not accessible by road.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
2 HORSE MOUNTAIN, Prineville District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Jackson) is assigned. 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. The east side of the fire has grown
significantly. Major concerns are inaccessible terrain, high temperatures,
low relative humidity and forecast thunderstorms.
ALDERDALE, Washington State Lands. The fire is burning in sagebrush fuels in
Klickitat County. No new information was reported. This will be the last
report unless new information is received.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
BARK, Klamath National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team (Bright)
is assigned. The fire is north of Klamath River, CA. It started at Highway
96 and Barkhouse Creek. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
MOCCASIN MOUNTAIN, Paiute Agency, BIA. The fire was ignited by lightning 15
miles southwest of Fredonia, AZ. Fuels involved include ponderosa pine,
pinyon pine, juniper, sagebrush and oak.
WALL, Albuquerque District, BLM. This fire is burning in an extremely remote
portion of the El Malpais Wilderness 20 miles southwest of Grants, NM. A
ranch 1/4 mile to the south may be threatened if the fire continues to grow
in that direction. Fuels are grass, pinyon pine, juniper and accumulated
litter.
COMANCHE, Southern Pueblos Agency, BIA. The fire is burning in grass 20
miles west of Belen and just north of Ladron Peak. The cause of the fire is
lightning.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
ARNOT, Stanislaus National Forest. A Fire Use Management Team (Cook) is
assigned. This lightning-ignited wildland fire is being managed to
accomplish resource objectives. The fire is 45 miles northeast of Sonora,
CA. It started on 7/3 and has been slowly backing downslope. It has now
reached more continuous fuels. Isolated torching and short range spotting
are assisting upslope fire spread.

chance of afternoon thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the 70's in
the mountains and up to the 90's at lower elevations.
Idaho and Nevada will be mostly sunny. High temperatures will range from the
70's in the mountains to the 90's in the valleys.
Montana and Wyoming will be mostly sunny with a chance of thunderstorms west
of the continental divide and in extreme eastern Montana. High temperatures
will be in the 80's and 90's. Winds will be light and variable. Minimum
relative humidities will be from 7 to 30 percent, with the lowest values in
the west.
Utah will be mostly sunny and hot. High temperatures will be in the 90's to
100. Winds will be light and variable. Minimum relative humidity will be 2
to 15 percent.
Colorado will be partly cloudy with scattered thunderstorms in the eastern
part of the state. High temperatures will be in the 70's in the mountains,
in the 80's in valleys east of the divide, and up to the 90's on the west

The Chilean volcano, Lascar, located at 2320S 6745W, erupted at
approximately 14:45 UTC on 20 July 2000. The ash cloud moved east at about
65 knots at an altitude between 35,000 and 45,000 feet. The leading edge of
the ash cloud traveled from eastern Chile to western Paraguay in
approximately four hours. This 9 frame movie captures the early formation of
the cloud and it's rapid movement. The time difference between frames varies
causing "jumps" in the movement of the leading cloud edge.
