INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SITUATION REPORT
FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2000 - 0530 MDT
NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS LEVEL V
CURRENT SITUATION:
A total of 16 new large fires were reported, most in the Eastern Great
Basin and Rocky Mountain Areas. Heavy initial attack activity occurred in
western Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Utah, and eastern Idaho. Hot,
dry, windy weather and thunderstorms will continue to keep fire activity
high in the Great Basin, Rocky Mountains and Arizona. Two Type I Incident
Management Teams were mobilized to Eastern Great Basin. Containment goals
were reached on 14 large fires. The National Interagency Coordination
Center processed numerous orders for aircraft, equipment, crews and
overhead. All national resources are becoming scarce. Very high to
extreme fire danger indices were reported in numerous units throughout the
11 western states and in Texas.
EASTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
The Eastern Great Basin Multi-Agency Coordinating Group is setting
priorities based on information received in Wildfire Situation Analysis
reports and Incident Status Summary forms.
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. Despite strong shifting winds, firelines held
along the northwest and south flanks all afternoon. The potential remains
for significant runs in continuous heavy fuels.
CLEAR CREEK, Salmon-Challis National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Carvelho) is assigned. This fire is 20 miles northwest of Salmon,
ID. The fire has crossed Big Deer Creek and Panther Creek, making
significant runs. Three historic cabins were destroyed. Evacuation of
the Blackbird Mine is underway. Poor humidity recovery continues to
result in active fire spread throughout the night.
WASATCH COMPLEX, Wasatch-Cache National Forest. A Type I Incident
Management Team (Dague) is assigned. This complex consists of the Iron
Mine Lake, Cottonwood, East Vivian and Wallsburg fires, all located
southeast of Sandy, UT. The Wallsburg fire is torching and spotting in
subalpine fir. The East Vivian fire spotted outside containment lines and
has made several significant runs to the northeast.
BURGDORF JUNCTION, Payette National Forest. A Type I Incident Management
Team (Vail). The fire is 23 miles north of McCall, ID. Southwest winds
and long range spotting are causing the head of the fire to continue
advancing toward the northeast. Fireline construction is slow due to
inaccessible terrain, torching and spotting problems.
OLDROYD, Fishlake National Forest. A Type I Incident Management Team has
been ordered. This fire is 20 miles south of Richfield, UT. Torching,
crowning and spotting fire behavior have been observed. Approximately 35
structures are threatened.
INEEL, U. S. Department of Energy. This fire is burning near the Idaho
National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory. Employees were
evacuated from the facility yesterday. Highway 20 between Idaho Falls and
Arco was closed for a time. Airtankers were flown to protect structures.
YANCE COMPLEX, Fishlake National Forest. A Type II Incident Management
Team (Ostman) is assigned. This is a complex of several fires in the
vicinity of Yance Canyon, four miles northwest of Scipio, UT. One of the
fires made major runs downhill toward the town of Leamington, driven by
downslope winds.
FISHER SPRINGS, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. The
fire was ignited by lightning eight miles southeast of Pocatello, ID.
Fifteen structures in the vicinity of Fort Hall Indian Reservation have
been evacuated, and four outbuildings have been confirmed destroyed. Two
other fires, the Moonshine (4000 acres) and the Rattlesnake (2000 acres)
are also burning in the vicinity.
GENTILE VALLEY, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. This
fire is five miles south of Alexander, ID. The fire is burning in grass,
sagebrush and scattered timber. Downdrafts from passing storm cells
produced winds of 40 mph which resulted in rapid spread, torching and
spotting. Six homes and wheat fields are threatened.
COFFEE POINT NORTH, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM.
A Type I Incident Management Team has been ordered to manage this and
other large fires in the eastern Idaho area. This fire is burning in
grass and sagebrush six miles northwest of Springfield, ID. Active
torching and spotting occurred on this fire again yesterday. The current
threat is to critical wildlife habitat.
MONUMENT CANYON, Sawtooth National Forest. This fire is 36 miles
southeast of Burley, ID. The fire is wind-driven in grass, sagebrush,
pinyon pine and juniper. The threat is to private lands and grazing.
Continued hot and dry weather will challenge containment efforts.
JOHN ALLEN, Dixie National Forest. The fire burning in ponderosa pine,
fir and heavy ground fuels ten miles northwest of Escalante, UT. Posey
Lake Campground and a lookout are threatened. Torching, crowning and
spotting have been observed. Crews are working to prevent the fire from
crossing Posey Lake Road.
FLATTOP, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. This
lightning-caused fire is burning in grass and sagebrush near Aberdeen, ID.
Active torching and spotting occurred again yesterday. This fire has the
potential to burn into the Coffee Point Fire.
BROAD, Southcentral Utah State. This fire is burning in grass and pinyon
pine near Lemington, UT. The fire has made significant runs. Major
powerlines are threatened. Crews made good progress building fireline on
the gentler slopes.
MONA WEST, Richfield Field Office, BLM. The fire is three miles west of
Mona, UT. An electrical substation was successfully protected with the
use of the Modular Airborne Firefighting Systems (MAFFS) aircraft from
Hill Air Force Base. Predicted winds threaten to considerably increase
this fire's size today.
EAST FALL CREEK, Upper Snake River District, Southcentral Idaho Area, BLM.
The fire is four miles west of Rockland, ID. Difficult terrain and
shifting winds have increased the fire's activity and complexity.
RATTLESNAKE, Arizona Strip District, BLM. The fire is burning in
sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper south of St. George, UT. Torching of
single trees has been observed, but little spread is occurring.
Containment efforts are impeded by southwest winds, dry fuels, torching
and limited access on the north and east sides of the fire.
CYCLOPS, Upper Snake River District, Eastern Idaho Area, BLM. This fire
is burning on the Fort Hall Reservation 15 miles east of Blackfoot, ID.
Fuels are grass, sagebrush and juniper.
STILLWATER, Uinta & Ouray Agency, BIA. This fire is 35 miles northwest of
Duchesne, UT. The fire crossed a containment line and grew 300 acres.
The slopover was stopped with dozer and burnout operations.
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. The fire is being monitored.
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. The Bucksnort
Fire showed no growth in the past 24 hours and crews have been able to
make progress on fireline construction. Fire behavior on the Cave Gulch
Fire has been extreme. An evacuation is in place for the community of
York.
STAG BUTTE/TAYLOR BUTTE, Miles City Field Office, BLM. These fires are
ten miles north of Ashland, MT. The U.S. Forest Service compound at Fort
Howes was evacuated.
COUGAR CREEK, Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Gauger) is assigned. The fire is 30 miles southwest of
Philipsburg, MT. Air resources arrived to assist in successfully
controlling several spots and delaying significant fire growth.
TOBIN, Miles City Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Cowan) is assigned. This fire is 26 miles northwest of Broadus, MT. A
crown fire developed on the southwest side of the fire in the afternoon.
Gusty winds pushed the fire to gain 800 acres. Crews made progress on the
north flank of the fire.
SALOON, Bitterroot National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Specht) is assigned. The fire is 12 miles southwest of Hamilton, MT.
Rolling material on steep slopes is caused a slopover which has been
contained. Lake Como has been reopened to boat traffic.
SEELEY COMPLEX, Lolo National Forest. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Corbin) is assigned. This complex is 34 miles northeast of Missoula.
Twelve new fires started in this complex. Helicopter bucket work was
effective on many of the new starts. Fire #6 has spotted across Monture
Creek and into the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
BIG POWDER RIVER, Casper Dispatch Center Counties. This fire is 28 miles
southeast of Buffalo, WY. It was started by lightning and is burning in
cottonwood in the Big Powder River drainage.
SCHOONOVER, Casper Dispatch Center Counties. The fire is burning in
sagebrush and grass 19 miles southeast of Buffalo, WY. Some rain was
received, but it has continued to burn actively in sagebrush afterwards.
VACA, Rock Springs District, BLM. This lightning-caused fire is 25 miles
northeast of Evanston, WY.
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. Higher relative humidity has
allowed crews to make progress with direct attack. The fire continues to
burn in the cliffs and rimrock on the north and south flanks.
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. The high elevation of the fire is limiting
crew effectiveness and helicopter lift capacity. Fireline construction is
progressing.
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. Crews are making good progress, supported
by airtankers and helicopter bucket drops. Flare-ups, dry fuels, hot
temperatures and winds challenged firefighting efforts.
WESTERN GREAT BASIN AREA LARGE FIRES:
A Type II Incident Management Team (Kearney) is staging in Elko, NV.
SOUTH CRICKET, Elko Field Office, BLM. A Type II Incident Management Team
(Burdick) is assigned. This fire is eight miles northeast of Wells, NV.
The fire burned actively overnight and continued to run through grass,
sagebrush, pinyon pine and juniper. It became a plume-dominated event in
the afternoon, exhibiting extreme behavior. Threats are to 29 structures,
livestock, grazing land, the railroad and archeological sites.
COYOTE, Ely Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning in sagebrush,
bitterbrush, pinyon pine and juniper 40 miles northeast of Pioche, NV.
Spotting up to 1/2 mile away and 40 foot flame lengths have been reported.
Two residences and one outbuilding have been destroyed. Three other
residences and numerous outbuildings on four ranches remain threatened,
along with critical wildlife habitat.
HOLLOW, Ely Field Office, BLM. This fire was ignited by lightning 23
miles east of Caliente, NV. This fire is smoldering and torching in
pinyon pine and juniper. Crews are making progress toward containment.
COTTONWOOD, Carson City Field Office, BLM. This fire is burning in pinyon
pine and juniper 30 miles southeast of Lovelock, NV. The fire continues
to run and torch in heavy pinyon pine and juniper along the ridgetops and
north flank. Crews on the south flank made good progress.
PHILLIPS RANCH, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This fire is burning in
mixed conifer 50 miles southeast of Ely, NV. Due to safety concerns
related to the terrain, most resources have been pulled off this incident.
An engine is monitoring fire behavior. Current threats are to historical
resources and bristle cone pine stands.
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. The fire continues to back into the North Fork of Willow Creek
and along Highway 1. Dozers have opened an old mining road to aid access
to the east side of the fire.
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. The fire has spread significantly toward
the northeast. A 100 acre spot fire on the east side of the Kern River is
moving toward the Long Valley area. Voluntary evacuation orders have been
implemented for the community of Kennedy Meadows, where 200 structures are
threatened.
HAPPY, California Desert District, BLM. The Type II Incident Management
Team has been released. A flare-up occurred in an inaccessible area with
sparse vegetation.
SOUTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:
RIDGE, Fort Apache Agency. The fire, formerly known as the Cibecue Ridge
fire, is five miles northwest of Carrizo, AZ. Strong shifting winds
caused the fire to overrun all but ten percent of established fireline.
Resistance to control is high due to steep, inaccessible terrain and low
fuel moistures. Flame lengths of 200 feet have been observed.
SOMBRERO BUTTE, Fort Apache Agency. This lightning-ignited wildland fire
is being managed to accomplish resource objectives. The fire is burning
in oak brush and desert chaparral near the reservation's boundary with
Tonto National Forest. Projection of spread is to the northeast.
MOGOLLON, Tonto National Forest. The fire was ignited by lightning on
7/22 ten miles northeast of Payson, AZ. Fireline construction and mopup
are continuing.
BLUE JAY, Coronado National Forest. This fire is near Safford, AZ. The
fire is burning in dense, dry fuels in rough terrain. Another fire which
started nearby was contained at two acres.
WALL, Albuquerque District, BLM. This fire is burning in an extremely
remote portion of the El Malpais Wilderness 20 miles southwest of Grants,
NM. The fire is being monitored by park personnel.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA LARGE FIRES:
MORGAN, Lake-Napa Ranger Unit, California Department of Forestry. The
fire is 50 miles northwest of Sacramento, CA. The fire continues to burn
in grass and light brush and pushed by southwest winds. Low relative
humidities are causing difficulties.
NORTHWEST AREA LARGE FIRES:

southeast of Goldendale, WA. One barn and two outbuildings have been
destroyed. About 14 residences and wheat crops are threatened.
ROCKY HULL, Northeast Washington State Forestry. A Type II Incident
Management Team (Jennings) is assigned. The fire is four miles southeast
of Oroville, WA. Crews are completing fireline construction and mopup.
Containment was expected late last night.
SOUTHERN AREA LARGE FIRES:
UNION WELLS 2, Texas State Forest Service. This fire is 60 miles
northeast of Houston, TX. The fire is threatening a subdivision, and
several residences have been evacuated. Variable winds, aggressive fire
behavior and drought stressed fuels are causing problems for firefighters.
THUNDER, National Forests in Mississippi. This fire is in the Homochitto
National Forest near Meadville, MS. Low relative humidities, high
temperatures and dry fuels are hampering containment efforts.
OUTLOOK:
*** A RED FLAG WARNING IS POSTED IN EASTERN WASHINGTON FOR STRONG
WINDS ***
High pressure will remain over the four corners region of the Southwest
and begin building into the northern Great Basin as well. As a result,
hot and dry weather will continue over most of the west. Isolated
thunderstorms will occur in parts of southeast Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
eastern Utah and Arizona. Scattered and wetter thunderstorms will occur
in Colorado and New Mexico.
Temperatures will be hot, with highs in the 80's and 90's in the mountains
and from 90 to the lower 100's in the valleys. Southern deserts will be
105 to 117 degrees. Minimum relative humidities will drop into the single
digits at most lower elevations of the Great Basin. Humidities will be 10
to 20 percent in the mountain areas. Winds will generally be light, with
some gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon.
Southern California will be sunny and dry except for morning coastal fog.
A warming and drying trend will continue today and through the weekend.
High temperatures will be 70 to 80 along the coast, and up to 115 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.
