Today
Rising Eagle Road Fire: Crews continued to patrol and mop-up,
focusing on the areas around residences.
Carlton Complex: Operational priorities are: strengthen line along
the northwest edge (near Pearrygin Lake) and improve interior lines on the western portion of the interior
island. Along the rest of the fire's
perimeter crews will patrol, mop-up, and gather equipment for return to the
ICP. Suppression repair work will continue. Structural engines are in place to patrol and respond to initial attack in the Methow Valley wildland/urban interface. The Washington
National Guard continues to support the incident by staffing
road closures. Night crews will patrol various areas of the fire
line; doing mop-up as needed.
Air resources
continue to play a vital role in the
successful containment of this complex and are also supporting suppression efforts on the Little Bridge Creek Fire, the Upper Falls
Fire, and initial attack
on new fires.
Resource Advisors are identifying needed fire
suppression repair work on the Rising Eagle Fire and the Carlton Complex.
Repair of roads and of hand and dozer
lines in contained areas is underway. An
Emergency Stabilization-Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team is working
to identify imminent post-wildfire threats to human life and safety, property,
and critical natural or cultural
resources on National Forest System lands and will develop plans to implement
emergency stabilization measures.
Anyone who believes they have a new start is encouraged
to call 911. Local fire departments continue to respond to 911 calls reporting
new starts.
If your property is in or below a
burned area, you may be at risk for a flood or debris flow during a rain event.
