INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
TUESDAY, JULY 25, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL IV
CURRENT SITUATION:
Eight new large fires were reported in the Northern Rockies, Rocky
Mountain, and Southern Areas. Two Type I Incident Management Teams were
mobilized. Heavy initial attack activity occurred in western Colorado,
Utah and Montana. New starts may be numerous again today with dry
lightning in the forecast for southwest Montana, eastern Utah and western
Colorado. Containment goals were reached on 15 large fires, which will
allow resources to become available for new project fires. Mobilization
of aircraft, equipment, crews and overhead through the National
Interagency Coordination Center continues to increase. Very high to
extreme fire danger indices were reported in all of the western states,
Alabama and Texas.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Kearney) is staging in Boise, ID.
BURGDORF JUNCTION, Payette National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Hefner) is assigned. The fire is 23 miles north of McCall, ID. The
fire has moved around War Eagle Mountain and is burning northeast toward
California Lake. Two old log structures have been confirmed as destroyed.
Spotting outside containment lines along the Warren Wagon Road has been a
problem.
TWIN CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Stam) is assigned. This fire is 30 miles north of Salmon, ID near
the Lost Trail Ski Area. Structure protection is in place at the ski
area. Extreme fire behavior including running and spotting has been
observed. Lack of access and rugged terrain are causing concerns. Poor
visibility caused by smoke has been a problem on Highway 93.
HORN CREEK, Boise National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Bennett) is assigned. This fire is three miles east of Garden Valley,
ID. Crews are locating and suppressing hot spots along the fire's
perimeter. A burnout operation has been successfully completed. Cooler
temperatures and higher humidities are aiding firefighters' efforts.
WASATCH COMPLEX, Wasatch-Cache National Forest. A Type I Incident
Management Team (Dague) is assigned. This complex consists of the
Cottonwood and Iron Mine Lake fires which are east of Sandy, UT. The
Cottonwood Fire is smoldering in isolated areas. There has been no
increase in acreage. The Iron Mine Lake Fire is contained.
CLEAR CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Carvelho) is assigned. This fire is 20 miles northwest of Salmon,
ID. All fuels are burning readily, creating well developed columns
between Gant Creek and Big Deer Creek. Extremely steep terrain is causing
a problem with rolling material which is slowing fireline construction.
YANCE CANYON, Fishlake National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Ostman) is assigned. This fire is northwest of Scipio, UT in very
steep terrain. Observed fire behavior includes backing, creeping and
torching with occasional short runs.
ELBOW, Arizona Strip Field Office, BLM. This fire is ten miles southeast
of Mesquite, NV. Some spotting has occurred, but retardant lines have
held. The increase in relative humidity has reduced fire intensity.
ROUGH CANYON, Richfield Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning in grass,
sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper 50 miles southeast of Garrison, UT.
Strong winds are causing the fire to make rapid runs.
GRASSY, Richfield Field Office, BLM. This lightning-caused fire is 50
miles southwest of Garrison, UT in the Wah Wah Wilderness Study Area.
Little activity has been observed on the fire within the past 24 hours.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type I Incident Management Team (Waterbury) has been ordered to stage in
Missoula. A Type II Incident Management Team (Swope) is managing the
Missoula staging area.
CANYON FERRY COMPLEX, Helena National Forest. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Hoff) is assigned. This complex, located 12 miles north
of Helena, MT, consists of the Bucksnort Fire (2,000 acres) and the Cave
Gulch Fire (2,000 acres). Six residences have been confirmed destroyed.
Engines supported by retardant and helicopters are protecting about 175
threatened residences on the western perimeter of the fire.
COUGAR CREEK, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Gauger) is assigned. The fire is 15 miles southwest of
Philipsburg, MT. Low relative humidities and low fuel moisture are
contributing to the fire's rapid growth. The terrain is steep and rocky
with numerous snags. The fire is threatening wildlife habitat.
TOBIN, Miles City Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Cowan) is assigned. This lightning-caused fire is 26 miles northwest of
Broadus, MT. The fire encompassed two smaller nearby fires with rapid
growth and running fire behavior. An old homestead is threatened.
LITTLE BLUE, Bitterroot National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Frye) is assigned. This fire is 25 miles southwest of Darby, MT.
Mopup operations are underway on all divisions.
SEELEY COMPLEX, Lolo National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Corbin) is assigned. This complex is 34 miles northeast of Missoula.
Only three fires in the complex are still active. One is contained. The
other two have showed no significant perimeter growth.
BUCK MOUNTAIN, Miles City Field Office, BLM. This fire is 30 miles east
of Miles City, MT. Active burning from interior islands is causing
challenges to containment.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
WINTER VALLEY, Craig District, BLM. This lightning-caused fire is three
miles southeast of Elk Springs, CO. Control problems include poor access,
heavy fuels and strong shifting winds. The fire is threatening oil and
gas wells, powerlines and the town of Elk Springs.
BIRCHER, Durango Dispatch Center Counties. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Lohrey) is assigned. This fire started in Montezuma County, CO and
has spread into Mesa Verde National Park. The fire made another major run
to the west toward park facilities. A change of wind direction and
movement of the fire into an old burn kept the plume dominated fire less
intense. The park continues to be closed. Structure protection is
ongoing.
HARPERS, Dinosaur National Monument. The fire is two miles east of
Dinosaur, CO. The residence area for Dinosaur National Monument has been
evacuated and structure protection operations continues. Multiple
lightning-caused starts have occurred in the vicinity of the monument
headquarters.
SCANDARD, Craig District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team (Sisk)
is assigned. The fire is 17 miles southwest of Meeker, CO, and is burning
in pinyon pine, juniper, sage and grass. Cloud cover kept fire activity
minimal. Burnout operations to protect a residence have been completed.
SOUTH GRIZZLY, White River National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Bustamante) is assigned. This fire is 11 miles north of Glenwood
Springs, CO. The fire burned actively through the night with spotting and
torching in heavy fuels. Threatened resources include wildlife habitat,
the Glenwood Springs watershed and high value recreation areas.
HOVENWEEP, Mesa Verde National Park. This fire is 20 miles southwest of
Cortez, CO. Minimal fire activity occurred. Crews are making good
progress on the south and west flanks.
TIMMERMAN, Pine Ridge Agency, BIA. This is a prairie fire located about
40 miles northeast of Pine Ridge, SD. No suppression problems are
anticipated.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
PLASKETT 2, Los Padres National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Gage) is assigned. This fire is 25 miles north of Cambria, CA east of
Highway 1. Active burning continued during the night. Structures are
threatened in Plaskett Creek and Homes Ridge. Endangered species habitat
and archeological sites are also at risk.
MANTER, Sequoia National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team
(Studebaker) is assigned. This fire is 15 miles northeast of Kernville,
CA in the Dome Land Wilderness. Current threats are to cabins and a wild
and scenic river area. Containment problems include low relative
humidities and shifting winds.
HAPPY, California Desert District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Conrad) is assigned. This fire is located north of Trona, CA. One
cabin has been confirmed destroyed. Crews made substantial progress
despite high temperatures and steep, rough terrain. The fire made brief
runs overnight.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
ROCKY HULL, Northeast Washington State Forestry. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Jennings) is assigned. The fire is four miles southeast
of Oroville, WA. Improving weather conditions are assisting crews in
holding existing firelines. Structure protection is in place.
CAYUSE, Northeast Washington State Forestry. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Furlong) is assigned. This fire is two and a half miles
northwest of Tonasket, WA. Crews are making good progress constructing
fireline and mopping up.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
WALL CANYON, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Shell) is assigned. This fire is 60 miles north of
Tonopah, NV. The fire's spread is to the north, east and west in
extremely difficult terrain. Flame lengths up to 30 feet have been
observed. Current threats are to watershed, private land in the valley
bottom, and wildlife habitat.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
BARK, Klamath National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Bright) is assigned. The fire is 25 miles west of Yreka, CA. There is
still some unburned fuel next to the fireline. Predicted southwest winds
today and tomorrow are a cause for concern.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
WALL, Albuquerque District, BLM. This fire is burning in an extremely
remote portion of the El Malpais Wilderness 20 miles southwest of Grants,
NM. Management strategy for this fire is to confine and monitor, due to
inaccessibility and rough terrain. Overcast skies moderated fire
behavior. There are no current threats.
MOCCASIN MOUNTAIN, Paiute Agency, BIA. The fire is 15 miles southwest of
Fredonia, AZ. Crews are progressing toward containment goals. The
acreage change is due to more accurate mapping.
BEAR, Ft. Apache Agency, BIA. This fire is twenty miles southeast of
Heber, AZ and is burning in brush, manzanita, pinyon pine and juniper.
Crews are nearing containment goals.
OUTLOOK:
***A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS POSTED IN SOUTHEAST UTAH AND SOUTHWEST COLORADO

which will keep the current storm track along the Canadian border. The
next frontal system is forecast to push into the Pacific Northwest today.
Colorado, Utah and Nevada will have partly cloudy skies with scattered
thunderstorms mainly over eastern Utah. Thunderstorms elsewhere will be
isolated and dry. Temperatures should be in the 70's and 80's in the
mountains and in the 90's to 105 at lower elevations. Minimum relative
humidity will be in the 10 to 20 percent range, except hotter and drier in
desert areas. Expect west winds at 10 to 20 mph.
Montana and Wyoming will be partly cloudy with isolated mainly dry
thunderstorms over the mountains. High temperatures should be in the 70's
and 80's in the mountains and up to the 90's in the valleys. Minimum
relative humidity will range from 15 to 30 percent. Winds will be west to
southwest at 10 to 20 mph.
Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho will be partly cloudy with a slight
chance of mainly dry thunderstorms across northeast Oregon, southeast
Washington and portions of central Idaho. Maximum temperatures will be 70
to 80 degrees in the mountains and 85 to 95 degrees at lower elevations.
Minimum relative humidity will be 10 to 20 percent. Winds will be west at
10 to 20 mph.
Southern California will be sunny after morning fog along the coast and
slightly cooler. Maximum temperatures will be 65 to 75 degrees along the
coast to around 102 degrees inland. Minimum relative humidity will be 10
to 25 percent with winds from the southwest to northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

Heat signatures (red) and smoke (light blue) are visible from fires burning
in Alberta, Canada, Idaho, and Montana, US. Smoke from the fire in Alberta
extends eastward into Saskatchewan and the Clear Creek fire in Idaho extends
eastward about a third of the way across Montana before becoming
obscured by clouds.
