Seven fires within the Homestead Complex, Lane 1, and Diamond Complex remain under active management by Northwest Team 12. Firefighting resources from the Homestead/Diamond Complexes remain available for initial attack response to new fire starts in the area as needed. Homestead Complex: 10,041 acres, 35% contained │ Lane 1: 25,951 acres, 99% contained │ Diamond Complex: 11,141 acres, 90% contained │ Total personnel: 570 Fire activity was influenced by gusty, dry conditions yesterday resulting in isolated tree torching, backing, and creeping fire behavior on the Horse Heaven and the Fuller Lake Fires. A Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) Team of interdisciplinary resource specialists assessed resource damage from the fires during a reconnaissance flight. This team will determine appropriate emergency stabilization work required to minimize threats to life, property, and natural resources resulting from the effects of the fires. Firefighters continue mop-up and patrol work on the Horse Heaven Fire. A heavy helicopter dropped 13,500 gallons of water yesterday to slow fire activity in the northwest portion of the fire. On the southern fire perimeter, engine crews removed hose from the fireline where it was no longer needed. Masticators finished work along Forest Service Road (FSR) 3831 on the north side of the fire. Additional chipping, grading, and mastication will continue in other areas of the fire. Resource advisors will assess these suppression repairs to ensure this work will be effective in preventing further resource damage. The Fuller Lake Fire continues to produce visible smoke as it backs and creeps into the Boulder Creek Wilderness. Firefighters are engaged in ongoing chipping and hazard tree removal along road systems outside the wilderness area. On the Bullpup Fire, crews and excavators are making excellent progress with clean-up along FSRs 200, 300, and 3810 and grading will continue along FSR 5850. The No Man Fire remains in patrol and monitor status presenting no signs of smoke or fire activity. On the Lane 1 Fire, excavators completed dozer line repair work in the Fairview area.
Two fires remain uncontained on the Diamond Complex. Chipping equipment continues to mulch woody debris on the Potter Fire and dump trucks are hauling these chips to the Diamond Lake area. Fire managers estimate a few more days of chipping work remains. The Pine Bench Fire continues to show no visible smoke.
Closures: The Umpqua National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have revised closure orders. Two closure orders impact the Umpqua National Forest https://t.ly/Mvn6G. A BLM Roseburg District closure order remain also remains in place https://t.ly/uWX6l. A Temporary Flight Restriction remains in effect https://bit.ly/3XJL0cD.

Infrared heat signatures still show scattered heat with smoldering and creeping in available fuels, but this predominantly interior activity poses no threat to the containment of the fires. Fire managers observed minimal surface spread on the northwest portion of the Horse Heaven Fire, and fire crews are continuing to patrol and mop up as needed. Chipping and mastication were completed along Forest Service Roads (FSR) 3180 and the 100 spur. Tomorrow chipping will begin along FSR 3829 and engine crews will continue to patrol and backhaul hose from areas where it’s no longer needed. The Fuller Lake Fire continues to produce visible smoke as it backs and creeps into the Boulder Creek Wilderness. Fire managers estimate a few more days to complete chipping of slash along FSR 3810 as well as multiple days of hazardous tree removal work for sawyers. On the Bullpup Fire, numerous roads are still being graded and crews continue to chip piles of woody debris along roads. The No Man Fire remains in patrol and monitor status presenting no signs of smoke or fire activity. On the Lane 1 Fire, excavators are completing fire suppression repair work in the Fairview area.
Two fires remain uncontained on the Diamond Complex. Chipping continues on the Potter Fire along FSR 100, with chips being hauled away and utilized for ground cover in the Diamond Lake area.
