Fire Information: (509)
542-7928
Location –The Hart Fire is located 13 miles north of
Davenport, WA and south of the Spokane River.
The Incident Command Post is located at the Davenport Middle
School.
Yesterday’s Operations – Firefighters
mopped-up and patrolled all firelines and around structures. This work increased the probability that any
remaining smokes will not rekindle and escape the current perimeter or threaten
structures. Fire behavior was minimal and air resources were not required
yesterday.
Today’s Operations – Mop up will
continue on perimeter lines and near structures. Crews continue repair and
rehabilitation work across several sections of the fire today. Fire suppression
repair includes a series of immediate post-fire actions to repair damages and
minimize soil erosion and impacts resulting from fire suppression action. These
actions usually begin before the fire is fully contained, and before the
demobilization of the Incident Management Team. This work repairs the firelines
created by crews and dozers, and repairs or rehabs the roads, trails, staging
areas, safety zones, and drop points established or used during fire
suppression efforts.
Weather and Fire Behavior – The wind will shift today and is expected to be
less than 10 mph. Winds will veer from the northwest in the morning to a
southwesterly direction in the afternoon. Tomorrow, a dry cold front with winds
gusting up to 30 mph will test firelines.
Evacuations and Closures –The entire fire area is under a
Level II evacuation. Road closures are
in place at the junction of Highway 25 and Hart Road and at Porcupine Hill
Road. The campground at Porcupine Bay is closed.
