Oregon Incident
Management Team
#1 took over command
of this incident Sunday September 20th, at
1800.
The message of
the day was, continue to keep
doing the great job
you have been
doing, and
don’t become complacent in your
thoughts towards safety. It
has been a long
fire season, and as
fatigue sets in, so do accidents. Watch out for yourself,
and others, and also continue to treat each
other with respect.
Continued progress
was
made yesterday on
all
areas of the
fire, from establishing more containment
lines,
to burning small brush piles that have been
created during the
suppression aspects of the job. The larger
piles are being
inventoried and covered with plastic, to be burnt next spring.
Roads
are continuing to be evaluated, along with chipping to clear debris.
Some seeding is being done,
in attempts to reestablish
the area to its prior condition.
Today the weather should be sunny, cooler, and
drier.
Temperatures will
be in the 50’s to 70’s range,
depending on elevation. RH’s
will be near historic lows for this time of year,
approaching minimums
of 14%, which could allow us to possibly see some smokes
today, however recoveries
overnight
are
still substantial.
Winds
will be from the Northeast at
8-12
mph, with gusts to 18. Tonight will be in
the
low 30’s.
Today crews
continue to monitor, patrol,
and repair damage, on all divisions of the
complex. Any extra equipment that
is not needed is being backhauled
back to camp. This process will be ongoing for the next
5-6
days.
The management team, and
firefighters, would
like
to thank the local communities for
all their support and
donations. At this time, with operations
on this fire diminishing,
and
fire season winding down, we would request
that
other charities be considered.
