INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
THURSDAY, JULY 27, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL IV
CURRENT SITUATION:
Nineteen new large fires were reported in the Eastern Great Basin,
Northern Rockies, Western Great Basin, Southwest, Rocky Mountain, Northern
California and Southern Areas. Heavy initial attack activity occurred in
Idaho, Utah, western Wyoming, and eastern Nevada. Large fire activity is
likely to continue with hot, dry and windy conditions forecast in the
Great Basin and Rocky Mountains. Two Type I Incident Management Teams
were mobilized. Containment goals were reached on ten large fires. The
National Interagency Coordination Center processed numerous orders for
aircraft, equipment, crews and overhead. Very high to extreme fire danger
indices were reported in 11 western states and Texas.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Kearney) is staging in Boise, ID.
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. The current threat is to structures, Highway 93
and private land. Drought conditions and steep terrain are impeding
containment efforts. Crews are working a large hot spot on the south
flank. Structure protection is in place.
BURGDORF JUNCTION, Payette National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Hefner) is assigned. The fire is 23 miles north of McCall, ID. The
threat to Burgdorf Hot Springs and the guard station has subsided. Many
crews are reaching their tour-of-duty time limit; replacements have been
ordered.
YANCE COMPLEX, Fishlake National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Ostman) is assigned. This has become a complex of several fires in
the vicinity of Yance Canyon. The largest active fire, Morning Dove, is
500 acres and has a high potential for spread.
CLEAR CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Carvelho) is assigned. This fire is 20 miles northwest of Salmon,
ID. A burnout operation is underway between Panther Creek and Indian
Creek to secure the east side of the fire. Poor humidity recovery has
resulted in active fire spread throughout the night.
FISHER SPRINGS, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. The
fire was ignited by lightning eight miles southeast of Pocatello, ID.
Dozens of structures in the vicinity of Fort Hall Indian Reservation are
threatened and some evacuations have taken place. Four outbuildings are
confirmed destroyed.
FLATTOP, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. This
lightning-caused fire is burning in grass and sagebrush near Aberdeen, ID.
Agricultural land has been destroyed. Extreme fire behavior with torching
and spotting was observed.
KANE CREEK, Upper Snake River District, Southcentral Idaho Area, BLM. The
fire is seven miles south of Malta, ID. Several homes were initially
threatened by the fire, however; a wind switch directed the fire away from
the homes.
CASTLEROCK, Salt Lake City District, BLM. This fire is ten miles north of
Grantsville, UT in steep terrain. A successful backfire operation
protected a residence. Rates of spread have been extreme.
COFFEE POINT NORTH, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM.
This fire is six miles northwest of Springfield, ID. It is burning in
grass and sagebrush with active torching and spotting. The current threat
is to critical wildlife habitat.
STILLWATER, Uinta & Ouray Agency, BIA. This fire is 35 miles northwest of
Duchesne, UT. Winds caused major runs and spotting. The fire jumped
several dirt roads and a highway.
CRESTLINE, Caribou National Forest. The fire is 16 miles east of
Pocatello, ID. It is a wind-driven fire which is torching in brush and
heavy timber. Limited access and extremely dry fuels are challenging
containment efforts.
BROAD, Southcentral Utah State. This fire is burning in grass and pinyon
pine near Lemington, UT. The fire has been very active, making several
runs. The potential for spread is great. The fire is heading toward
Sevier Reservoir. High temperatures, low humidities and winds are causes
for concern.
RATTLESNAKE, Arizona Strip District, BLM. The fire is burning in
sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper south of St. George, UT. Rapid rates
of spread are still occurring, with flame lengths of 40 feet. Significant
progress has been made on the right flank of the fire. Threats are to
range and wildlife habitat, range improvements and rehabilitated areas
from previous fires.
ELBOW, Arizona Strip Field Office, BLM. This fire is ten miles southeast
of Mesquite, NV. Interior burning has been observed, but all containment
lines are holding. Firefighter safety remains the biggest concern.
NORTHERN ROCKIES AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Swope) is managing the Missoula
staging area.
CANYON FERRY COMPLEX, Helena National Forest. A Type I Incident
Management Team (Waterbury) and a Type II Incident Management Team (Hoff)
are assigned. This complex, located 12 miles north of Helena, MT,
consists of the Bucksnort Fire and the Cave Gulch Fire. A total of 9
residences and 27 outbuildings have been confirmed destroyed. Strong
winds caused the fires to make major runs and exhibit extreme behavior.
Evacuation of the Jimtown Road area and the community of York is underway.
COUGAR CREEK, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Gauger) is assigned. The fire is 15 miles southwest of
Philipsburg, MT. The fire continues to spread rapidly and spot.
Difficult terrain and poor access are causing containment difficulties.
TOBIN, Miles City Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Cowan) is assigned. This fire is 26 miles northwest of Broadus, MT.
Crown fires occurred on spots outside the west fireline, causing major
control problems. Five residences and 12 other buildings are threatened.
SNOWLINE, Central Land Office, Montana Department of natural Resources and
Conservation. This fire is burning in sagebrush and grass six miles
southeast of Lima, MT. Extreme rates of spread have been observed.
SALOON, Bitterroot National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Specht) is assigned. The fire is 12 miles southwest of Hamilton, MT.
Crews are continuing aggressive mopup and were working on a slopover late
in the shift. The west side of the fire is in steep rocky cliffs where
helicopter use will be required to complete the fireline.
SEELEY COMPLEX, Lolo National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Corbin) is assigned. This complex is 34 miles northeast of Missoula.
Fire #6 is running to the southeast and northwest and continuing to
threaten backcountry structures. The fire reached the area of an
outfitter's tent camp, where helicopter bucket work is protecting the
site. The #7 fire made some uphill runs, but fire spread was limited.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
HODGES, Craig District, BLM. This fire is 25 miles northwest of Craig,
CO. Strong winds are causing extreme fire behavior and control problems.
Three structures are threatened. Good access has allowed engines to make
progress toward containment.
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. Thunder cell activity with
strong downdrafts caused the fire to spread to cliffs, rimrock and
inaccessible slopes. Higher relative humidity yesterday afternoon allowed
crews to make good progress. Continuous heavy fuels, limited access and
evening thunderstorm activity are impeding containment efforts.
SOUTH GRIZZLY, White River National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Bustamante) is assigned. The fire is in a remote area 11 miles
north of Glenwood Springs, CO. Observed fire behavior includes torching
and ground fire. A burnout operation is planned.
WINTER VALLEY, Craig District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Gardner) is assigned. This lightning-caused fire is three miles
southeast of Elk Springs, CO. High temperatures and winds up to 40 mph
have made suppression difficult. The fire has been active throughout the
day. Oil and gas wells and the town of Elk Springs are threatened.
SCANDARD, Craig District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team (Sisk)
is assigned. The fire is burning in pinyon pine, juniper, sagebrush and
grass 17 miles southwest of Meeker, CO. Cooler temperatures and higher
relative humidity aided crews in making progress toward containment. Some
portions of the fire received rain.
IDENTICAL TWIN, Craig District, BLM. This fire, formerly known as Twins
Complex, is 14 miles northwest of Meeker, CO. Crews and engines are
making good progress despite strong winds.
HARD ROCK, Craig District, BLM. This fire is 16 miles west of Meeker, CO.
Fuels are pinyon pine and juniper. Crews are making good progress
constructing fireline.
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. Evacuations have been initiated in the Willow Springs Road
area. Some residents evacuated previously have been allowed to return
home.
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. A historic structure and the wild and
scenic Kern River corridor are threatened. Continued hot temperatures and
low humidities are causing the fire to spread to the northeast.
HAPPY, California Desert District, BLM. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Conrad) is assigned. This fire is north of Trona, CA. High
temperatures, low relative humidities and increasing afternoon winds are
hindering containment efforts.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
PHILLIPS RANCH, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This fire is 50 miles
southeast of Ely, NV. It was started by lightning on 7/25 and spread
significantly yesterday due to strong winds and steep terrain.
HOLLOW, Ely Field Office, BLM. This fire was ignited by lightning 23
miles east of Caliente, NV. Intense fire behavior and limited access are
contributing to suppression problems.
SOUTH CRICKET, Elko Field Office, BLM. This lightning-caused fire is
eight miles northeast of Wells, NV. It is making a run in grass,
sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper fuels.
COTTONWOOD, Carson City Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning in pinyon
pine and juniper 30 miles southeast of Lovelock, NV in the Stillwater
Range. Resources threatened include Bolivia Ghost Town, a microwave
tower, powerlines, cultural sites and wildlife winter habitat.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
CIBECUE RIDGE, Fort Apache Agency. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Leech) is assigned. The fire is five miles northwest of Carrizo, AZ.
The fire is burning in manzanita, oak brush, pinyon pine, juniper and
ponderosa pine. Extreme fire behavior with intense running was observed.
PIPE, Coconino National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Anderson) is assigned. The fire is seven miles west of Flagstaff, AZ.
Very dense and dry fuels and gusty winds have caused the fire to grow
rapidly. Heavy spotting in ponderosa pine is occurring.
POWER, Coconino National Forest. This lightning-ignited fire is eight
miles east of Flagstaff, AZ. Fuels include pinyon pine, juniper and
grass. No structures are threatened.
MOGOLLON, Tonto National Forest. The fire was ignited by lightning on
7/22 ten miles northeast of Payson, AZ. Crews are continuing to construct
fireline in extremely steep terrain. Numerous snags left over from the
1990 Dude Fire are causing safety concerns.
BLUE JAY, Coronado National Forest. This fire is near Safford, AZ. The
fire is burning in dense, dry fuels in rough terrain. Spotting has been a
problem.
WALL, Albuquerque District, BLM. This fire is burning in an extremely
remote portion of the El Malpais Wilderness 20 miles southwest of Grants,
NM. All fire forces have been released from this incident. The fire is
being monitored by park personnel. This will be the last report unless
new information is reported.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
MORGAN, Lake-Napa Ranger Unit, California Department of Forestry. The
fire is 50 miles northwest of Sacramento, CA. It is burning in grass and
brush, pushed by 20 mph winds. Approximately ten structures are
threatened.
LAMBERT, Amador-El Dorado Ranger Unit, California Department of Forestry.
The fire is 24 miles southeast of Sacramento, CA. Brisk winds are pushing
this fire through heavy brush, grass and woodland.
MARYS, Siskiyou Ranger Unit, California Department of Forestry. This fire
is burning in grass eight miles northeast of Yreka, CA. A burnout
operation is in progress. Containment was expected late last night.
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. All firelines have held through winds of 15 mph. Mopup
around structures is continuing.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
THUNDER, National Forests in Mississippi. This fire is in the Homochitto
National Forest near Meadville, MS. Extremely dry conditions and low
relative humidity have hindered containment efforts.
UNION WELLS, Texas State Forest Service. This fire is 61 miles northeast
of Houston, TX. No new information was reported. This will be the last
report unless new information is received.
OUTLOOK:
*** A RED FLAG WARNING IS POSTED IN WESTERN WYOMING FOR LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES, GUSTY WINDS, WARM TEMPERATURES, AND DRY FUELS ***
*** A RED FLAG WARNING IS POSTED IN EASTERN WASHINGTON FOR STRONG WINDS
***
High pressure will remain over the four corners region of the Southwest.
Moisture and instability will be pushed slightly eastward as a weak trough
moves through the Northwest. Isolated thunderstorms are expected in
western Nevada, Utah, southeast Idaho, western Montana, western Wyoming
and Arizona. Thunderstorms will be scattered in eastern Montana, Colorado
and New Mexico.
Temperatures will again be quite warm, with highs in the 80's and 90's in
the mountains and from 90 to around 110 in the valleys and southern
deserts. Minimum relative humidities will drop into the single digits at
most lower elevations of the Great Basin. Humidities will be 10 to 20 in
the mountain areas. Winds will be 10 to 20 mph today, except 20 to 30 mph
in the red flag warning areas.
Southern California will be sunny and dry except for morning coastal fog.
A warming and drying trend will begin late today. High temperatures will
be 65 to 75 along the coast, and up to 110 in the desert areas. Minimum
relative humidities will be as low as 10 percent. Afternoon winds will be
south to southwest at 10 to 20 mph.

SPONSORSHIP NOTICE
The Disaster Center reports on Major Disasters in the USA by collecting and
redistributing public information reports. We also provide a means for the
creation of a historic database of these reports, which are often only on
the internet for a short time during a disaster. When The Disaster Center
does it's job well our site serves as a center for obtaining access to
current disaster reports during the disaster. To do this we need access to
current public situation reports. Anything that our readers can do to
provide or promote our access to these reports enables hundreds and
sometimes thousands of people to benieft. If you wish to make a report
please use our message board system. Copies of all messages are sent to the
manager at The Disaster Center. If you supply a report, please provide
access to links for confirmation of the report, if the manager believe it
merits it, a special SitRep may be issued.
