Oregon Incident
Management Team
#1 took over command
of this incident Sunday September 20th, at
1800. It is anticipated that command
will be transferred to a Type 4
team
on Sunday September
27th.
At this morning’s briefing, IC Shawn Sheldon said that we still
have a few
days
of hard work
left before leaving this
fire to the next team. Let’s
not get complacent
in our actions, and
finish with a great
safety record, along with leaving the complex in
good shape for our fellow
firefighters.
Crews will continue in their efforts to finish the rehabilitation of the fires. There is still,
chipping, back hauling
of
equipment,
and
road repair going on in
numerous
divisions. By Saturday
plans are to have all but 3 divisions of the
fire be in patrol
status.
Weather will be partly sunny today. Temperatures will range from 57-76
degrees
on various
areas
of the fires. Minimum RHs
will be in the 29-35%
range. Winds will
be out of the South at
8-12 mph, with gusts to
18 on the ridgetops. There will be about a
30% chance of wetting
rains tomorrow afternoon.
Today the Department of Agriculture
will be on the Stickpin
Fire repairing a Snotel station
that was destroyed during the
fire. This station
monitors not only temperature, wind,
and RHs, but has the capabilities to measure snow depth, and
its water equivalents.
The Colville National
Forest is
currently working
on a
reduced fire area closure,
and
we will supply you with that information
when it is completed. You
may
still encounter
some fire related
vehicles in the area, so please be cautious while
driving during
this transition phase.
