On June 23, 2024, command of the Cottage Grove – Lane 1 Fires was transferred to the North
Carolina Forest Service Complex Incident Management Team.
The Cottage Grove – Lane 1 fires consist of the following fires for a total of 4005 acres: Lane 1
(1090 acres), Clark 900 (841 acres), 225 (610 acres), Jack Saddle (818 acres), Puddin (110 acres),
Adams Mountain (162 acres), and Mineral/White Creek (374 acres). The Lane 1 Fire is
considered 10% contained, while all other fires are 0% contained. Percent containment represents
sections of fire line that pose no escape risk without further action from firefighters. Over 200
personnel are assigned to these fires in operational and overhead capacities.
Efforts today continued in securing fire line on the north side of the Lane 1 fire and continued
scouting on the remaining fires for potential fire line locations.
Closures: Due to the wildfires, the Umpqua National Forest has issued Forest Order No. 06-15-24-03 and

Current Situation:
• The Badlands Complex has grown to 51,196 acres and is 0% contained with 127 personnel assigned.
• Yesterday, the complex utilized two fixed wing Scoopers on the Coyote and Powder fires. Two Type 1 helicopters
were available as a shared resource with other local firefighting efforts. An Air Attack platform was also available
and used to obtain a view over the fire area.
• The Powder fire has shown little fire activity over the past two days. The Scoopers dropped water on pockets of
persistent heat yesterday. With aerial support, a small number of ground resources are patrolling and holding the
Powder fire in check.
• The Coyote fire made a push to the west over the past two days. The Scoopers were used to check the fire’s
progression south of Richland near the mouth of Daly Creek and Myers Gulch.
• On the Thompson fire, firefighters have been working aggressively in the Sisley Creek area to secure the fire’s
edge and protect structures in that area. Dozers and engine crews are working west of Thompson fire, improving
the Iron Mountain Road to establish containment in rough, broken country.
• Additional fire crews are beginning to arrive to relieve local resources. Ground crews are aggressively engaging
the fire when and where weather, fuels, and terrain allow. Aircraft are being used when they are available.
Nationally, there is a high level of fire activity demanding a limited supply of shared interagency firefighting
resources.

Evacuations: Baker County Sheriff’s Office has issued Level 1, 2, and 3 evacuation orders for multiple areas of the fire.
Learn more at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064434892363. A temporary evacuation shelter has been

ODF Teams 1 & 3 coordinate on Battle Mountain Complex Zones I & II, strides made overnight

UKIAH, Ore. – In Zone I, Firefighters on night shift were able to increase containment lines around the southeastern portions of the
Battle Mountain Complex Zone I (formerly the Boneyard Fire) overnight, wrapping the southern edge of the fire from Top Road to Wall
Creek Road. This work contributes to an overall increase in containment on the incident and will continue to be a focus for resources
working on Zone I of the fire today.

Despite cooler temperatures and decreases in wind speed, fire behavior remained active along Zone I’s western perimeter. A spot fire
approximately four acres in size was located near Ant Hill, but firefighters were able to quickly line and stop the spot fire’s progress
before it could spread any further.

In Zone II, the eastern half of the Battle Mountain Complex, firefighters are taking advantage of the somewhat lower temperatures. With
less smoke in the air, more assets are available to more portions of the fire.

“This slight break in the weather is really giving us the time and space we needed to dig in and get some work done” said Deputy
Incident Commander, ODF Team 3, Bryce Thomas. “We’re holding more line and tying in key pieces of line to minimize acres. There’s a
lot of work left, but we’re cautiously optimistic. I can’t say enough about all the hard work our firefighters and support functions put into
this.”



On the southeast portion of the fire, firefighters largely held firelines with minimal growth. Crews constructed dozer line, completed
some burn operation to tie together two divisions and began preparations for additional burning. Lines are holding along Highway 395
but many hazard trees and rolling debris remain along the roadway.

Along the southern head of the fire, firefighters continue to scout steep and bluffy terrain to tie together lines. Crews were seeing more
success holding lines within the drainages, but the terrain continues to challenge suppression efforts.

Along the north, firefighters continue to construct direct, tight line on the fire’s edge and hope to connect dozer lines today. Structural
firefighters, under the command of the Oregon State Fire Mashal, continue to provide protection for residents along the perimeter.

The 4,484-acre North Fork Owens Fire is now 70% contained (the complex stands at 5% containment).

Status 7/26/2024

Update: Overnight crews worked to establish a stronger fire perimeter and monitor areas of concern. With cooler temperatures and
reduced winds, the fire stayed within the existing boundaries.

Additional resources have arrived and are aiding the suppression efforts. Today’s weather brings lower temperatures, lower winds and
an increase in relative humidity. All of which work together to reduce the fire’s growth potential. These favorable conditions will assist
the firefighters as they continue to improve existing control lines around the fire.

For today’s shift, firefighters will be concentrating on improving and installing additional control lines in all divisions of the fire. Work will
also focus on mitigating any safety hazards or impacts to the public. Night shift operations will continue tonight.

100% Contained

INVESTIGATION: Reward offered for information relating to wildfires in Malheur Reservoir area VALE, Ore. – Fire investigators and law
enforcement officials are requesting the public’s assistance in the investigation of the Cow Valley, Bonita and other small wildfires in the
Malheur Reservoir area.

Near critical fire weather conditions persist on the Durkee Fire. 20% containment was gained from
Brogan to Dennis on Hwy 26 yesterday. Positive fire behavior effects from precipitation earlier in the
week are no longer present in the forecast. Amidst unprecedented fire weather challenges, NW Team
6 is in unified command with the Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM). Structural threat is diminishing
and OSFM has been working with local partners to ensure they are in a good spot to reengage.
The Durkee Fire is currently the largest fire in the nation. Sandwiched between the Cow Valley Fire
footprint to the southwest and the Thompson Fire to the northeast, it is considered a megafire.
Megafires are large wildfires that grow to more than 100,000 acres. Its perimeter is 169 miles,
comparable to driving from the Oregon towns of Vale to Umatilla.
Fire Front Activity by quadrant
Burnt River, northern fire front: Firefighters are successfully holding the fire with a strategy of direct
suppression.
I-84 Corridor, eastern and southwestern flank: Fire is approaching the I-84 corridor north of Rye
Valley. South of Lime, the fire is holding. Continuing to secure the cement plant and Shirttail Road are
top priorities.
Wide-spread structure mop up within a 100-foot perimeter is a focus for firefighters today. Heavy
equipment will be utilized to protect power lines and other infrastructure. Firefighters are focused on
attaining containment from Lockett Road around the southern tip of the Durkee Fire footprint to extend
the southwest containment line.
Bridgeport to Dark Canyon, northwest fire front: Dark Canyon is an area of concern due to heavier
winds and drier conditions at high elevation and a shift in fuel type to more timber, as compared to
Durkee Fire’s predominant fuels to date: grass, shrubs and sparse Juniper.
Fire Weather Forecast
Today and for the next week, winds will be gusty and variable. In the afternoons, winds are expected
to taper to 20mph gusts and come from the south/southeast. North to northwest 40mph gusts will rise
into the evening and overnight. This pattern is expected for the next week. Although morning
temperatures have dropped significantly, humidity recovery remains poor and only around 20 to 30
percent.
It was reported that blown dust and ash created near to zero visibility along HWY 26 last night.

We continue to see extreme fire behavior that will be challenging. With burn periods projected for 22-
24 hours a day, high elevation fuels in the NW quadrant of the Durkee Fire footprint are particularly dry
and likely to burn with high rates of spread.
Aerial resources will be coordinated and prioritized between the Badland Complex, Durkee Fire and
Vale BLM going forward due to state-wide fires and resource availability.

KEY MESSAGES:

Air operations continued on the fire yesterday assisting in securing the perimeter. Incident Officials are working with local communities
to provide aerial support including the Bighorn, Gwen and River fires. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Initial
Attack resources remain to assist in suppression of critical fires in the vicinity. Due to the quick response efforts of DNR crews, initial
attack of a lightning strike near Anatone was successfully lined and mopped up.



CURRENT STATUS:

In the Wenatchee Creek drainage, fire crews are working to secure and tie in control lines to the contained flank of the fire. This will
free up resources to reengage fire suppression operations on the west flank where firefighters continue to build indirect
line. After a successful tactical ignition on the east flank of the fire north of the contained Hanson Ridge area, crews are checking for
smoke and hotspots and enhancing direct line construction. Grouse Flats remains a priority to protect property on the
southwest side of the fire.



FIRE BEHAVIOR AND WEATHER:

Ridgetop winds will be lighter and will switch back to the southeast. A slight warming trend is still in the forecast for the weekend, along
with a chance of thunderstorms again for early next week. Fuels will remain exceptionally dry. These conditions will
maintain active fire spread. Fire spread will be in the north and west areas of the fire.

Firefighters focus on southern portion of Courtrock Fire, work to control spread

MONUMENT, Ore. – A public meeting was held Thursday night in Long Creek to provide fire information for the communities
surrounding the Courtrock Fire and the western portion of the Monkey Creek Fire in the Battle Mountain Complex. The video from the
meeting can be accessed at https://youtu.be/rvudySyUGok



Firefighters will work today to complete line on the southern area of the fire where it has continued to be active. Line construction using
bulldozers and handline is planned, along with using strategic firing operations to remove fuel and vegetation between the fire’s edge
and indirect fireline, creating a larger and stronger barrier between the fire and homes to the southeast.



Lower temperatures and higher relative humidity will aid in the firefighting efforts this morning, however the forecast calls for north
winds to increase this afternoon. Fuels in the area are dry and firefighters are aware of the potential for increased fire behavior during
these windows and will be watching for changes.



On the north side of the fire, firefighters have been able to secure a longer portion of line, resulting in an increase in containment to 9%.
Resources will continue to build on this work as well today.

Central Oregon – Yesterday on the Crazy Creek Fire, cooler temperatures and decreased winds led to decreased fire activity.
Firefighters strengthened the control line along Forest Service Road (FSR) 100 and established an anchor point on FSR 30. Firefighters
performed structure protection in the Toggle Meadow area. The Crazy Creek Fire is currently estimated at 11,008 acres and is 0%
contained.

Today, firefighters on the Crazy Creek Fire will continue to strengthen control lines and perform structure protection in the Little Summit
and Toggle Meadow areas.



Yesterday on the Kitty Creek Fire, firefighters strengthened lines around the perimeter and performed mop up to cool down areas of
heat. The fire remains 65 acres and is 0% contained. Firefighters will continue mop up operations today.

The Central Oregon Type 3 incident management team will transfer command of the Crazy Creek Fire and Kitty Creek Fire to
Southwest Team 5 Complex Incident Management Team at 6 p.m. today. Future fire updates will be provided by the Southwest Team 5
Complex Incident Management.

The Ochoco National Forest has implemented a forest closure for the Paulina Ranger District. More information can be found at
fs.usda.gov/alerts/ochoco/alerts-notices/?aid=89203.

Firefighters construct control line around a fire to establish a barrier to keep it from spreading. Containment is based on their confidence
that a portion of the fire is secure, and the fire will not move beyond the control line. Firefighters may have control line around the
perimeter of a fire, but until they are able to decrease fire activity along the edge of the control line and cool down hotspots, they do not
consider that portion of the fire contained.

Status 7//2024:

A large-scale lightning event on July 16 started several fires on the Diamond Lake Ranger District of the Umpqua National Forest. The
fires are being managed as the Diamond Complex. It consists of 24 fires and an estimated 4,166 acres with 3% containment and 395
personnel assigned.

Nationally and in the Pacific Northwest, fire activity is putting an extreme demand on firefighting resources. The highest priority remains
public and firefighter safety and protecting infrastructure and homes.

The fires are being managed under a full suppression strategy. This means that crews engage in direct attack on the fires’ edge where
access and firefighter safety allow. They are implementing indirect strategies using constructed control lines and utilizing natural
barriers where direct attack cannot be done safely. Pacific Power and Light (PP&L) infrastructure within the complex continues to be a
top priority for protection as crew attack fires threatening those resources.

The Trail fire, east of Hwy 138 on the west slope of Mt. Thielsen, is 830 acres and 5% contained. Crews continue to keep the fire within
the current control lines and minimize impacts to the recreational values around Diamond Lake.

The Lemolo fire, north of Lemolo Lake on Bunker Hill, is 627 acres and 0% contained. Crews will continue to complete dozer line on the
east flank and look for opportunities to implement control lines north of the fire to protect recreational values around Lemolo Lake.

The Pine Bench fire, north of Hwy 138 near Dry Creek, is 1,546 acres and 0% contained. Crew will patrol and continue to hold the 4775
road and hold and mop up any new spot fires.

Watson fire, north of Hwy 138 on Watson Ridge fire is 166 acres and 0% contained and the Loafer fire at 24 acres and 0% contained.
Crews have been making great progress with the limited resources available. They will begin direct line construction and hose lay today
and continue to fortify lines.

There are smaller clusters of fires within the complex that consist of: Pig Iron, 27 acres and 25% contained, near Pig Iron Mountain
north of Hwy 138; Brodie, 98 acres and 0% contained, about 5 miles south of Hwy 138 and south of Devils Canyon; Trep, 109 acres
and 0% contained, about 4 miles south of Hwy 138; Garwood, 5 acres and 65% contained, about 3 miles southwest of Mt. Bailey; Slide,
0.1 acres and 90% contained, northeast of Pine Bench; Potter, 504 acres and 0% contained, north of Hwy 138 about 2 miles southeast
of Potter Mt.; Ooya, 136 acres and 0% contained, north of Hwy 138 about 1 mile northeast of Bird Point; Clearwater, 1 acre and 90%
contained, south of Hwy 138 about 5 miles northwest of Diamond Lake; Elephant, 0.7 acres and 0% contained, 2 miles southwest of
Lemolo Lake; Lost Bear, 5 acres and 0% contained, 2 miles south of Hwy 138; Lost, 14 acres and 0% contained, 4 miles south of Hwy
138; Sheep, 0.3 acres and 0% contained, 3 miles north of Diamond Lake; Thin, 1 acre and 0% contained, four miles northwest of
Diamond Lake; Trap, 4 acres and 0% contained, 1 mile south of Hwy 138 near Trap Mountain; Bear Trap, 45 acres and 0% contained,
2 miles south of Hwy 138 near Bear Trap Mountain; Campwood, 8 acres and 0% contained, 2 miles south of Hwy 138; Rough, 8 acres
and 0% contained, two miles south of Hwy 138, Birds, 10 acres and 0% contained, Wood, 2 acres and 0% contained, 2 miles south of
Hwy 138; and Mowich, 1 acre and 0% contained, 1 mile north of Hwy 138.
Today, firefighters will continue direct suppression on accessible fires, and will develop specific suppression strategies for other less
accessible fires to be carried out as resources become available.

Smoke Outlook: Smoke continues to impact the region. For the most up to date information, please visit www.fire.airnow.gov

100% Contained

The Durgan Fire located approximately six miles northeast of Paulina was more accurately mapped at 3,200 acres and is now 100%
contained. The Crook County Sheriff’s Office has decreased the evacuation preparedness to a Level 1 (Be Ready). For additional
updates from the Crook County Sheriff’s Office visit facebook.com/CrookCountySheriff or visit their interactive map:

The Pulley Creek Fire, burning on the Ochoco National Forest, approximately one mile southwest of Big Summit Prairie, remains at 11
acres and is now 100% contained.

Firefighters construct control line around a fire to establish a barrier to keep it from spreading. Containment is based on their confidence
that a portion of the fire is secure, and the fire will not move beyond the control line. Firefighters may have control line around the
perimeter of a fire, but until they are able to decrease fire activity along the edge of the control line and cool down hotspots, they do not
consider that portion of the fire contained.

Status 7/26/2024:

Near critical fire weather conditions persist on the Durkee Fire. 20% containment was gained from
Brogan to Dennis on Hwy 26 yesterday. Positive fire behavior effects from precipitation earlier in the
week are no longer present in the forecast. Amidst unprecedented fire weather challenges, NW Team
6 is in unified command with the Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM). Structural threat is diminishing
and OSFM has been working with local partners to ensure they are in a good spot to reengage.
The Durkee Fire is currently the largest fire in the nation. Sandwiched between the Cow Valley Fire
footprint to the southwest and the Thompson Fire to the northeast, it is considered a megafire.
Megafires are large wildfires that grow to more than 100,000 acres. Its perimeter is 169 miles,
comparable to driving from the Oregon towns of Vale to Umatilla.
Fire Front Activity by quadrant
Burnt River, northern fire front: Firefighters are successfully holding the fire with a strategy of direct
suppression.
I-84 Corridor, eastern and southwestern flank: Fire is approaching the I-84 corridor north of Rye
Valley. South of Lime, the fire is holding. Continuing to secure the cement plant and Shirttail Road are
top priorities.
Wide-spread structure mop up within a 100-foot perimeter is a focus for firefighters today. Heavy
equipment will be utilized to protect power lines and other infrastructure. Firefighters are focused on
attaining containment from Lockett Road around the southern tip of the Durkee Fire footprint to extend
the southwest containment line.
Bridgeport to Dark Canyon, northwest fire front: Dark Canyon is an area of concern due to heavier
winds and drier conditions at high elevation and a shift in fuel type to more timber, as compared to
Durkee Fire’s predominant fuels to date: grass, shrubs and sparse Juniper.
Fire Weather Forecast
Today and for the next week, winds will be gusty and variable. In the afternoons, winds are expected
to taper to 20mph gusts and come from the south/southeast. North to northwest 40mph gusts will rise
into the evening and overnight. This pattern is expected for the next week. Although morning
temperatures have dropped significantly, humidity recovery remains poor and only around 20 to 30
percent.
It was reported that blown dust and ash created near to zero visibility along HWY 26 last night.

We continue to see extreme fire behavior that will be challenging. With burn periods projected for 22-
24 hours a day, high elevation fuels in the NW quadrant of the Durkee Fire footprint are particularly dry
and likely to burn with high rates of spread.
Aerial resources will be coordinated and prioritized between the Badland Complex, Durkee Fire and
Vale BLM going forward due to state-wide fires and resource availability.

Easy Fire Update

CURRENT SITUATION: The Easy Fire is burning in large dense timber, abundant dead trees, and ground vegetation on extremely
steep terrain. Fire activity near State Route 20 has moderated with continued fire activity within the fire footprint on the north and south
side of the fire. Firefighters worked with Washington Department of Transportation(WSDOT) on Wednesday and Thursday to clean up
debris and fallen trees across the highway. The highway closure is regularly being reassessed, so please be sure to check the WSDOT
travel map for any updates throughout the day.



Yesterday firefighters continued preparation of indirect handlines, tying into natural features like avalanche chutes and previous burn
scars. As part of the fireline preparations crews are installing hoselays and sprinkler systems on both the south and north side of the
fire. In addition, crews successfully established helispots on the north side of the fire which will provide additional access in case of an
emergency.



TODAY’S ACTIVITIES: Crews will continue to work with Washington Department of Transportation to clean up fallen trees and debris
from the shoulders of State Route 20. Firefighters will also maintain line preparation and falling operations on the north and south side
of Easy Fire. Crews are scouting opportunities to conduct strategic firing operations to burn out vegetation between the fire and
constructed fireline. Firefighters are also developing an aerial operations plan for structure protection on Mebee Lookout Tower if fire
activity necessitates such measures.



WEATHER: Temperatures today will rise slightly with highs in the mid to upper 80s. Humidity is expected to moderate today and
through the weekend. Winds will decrease today with a northwest direction around 7 mph. The cooling trend will continue over the
weekend along with a reduction in winds.

Status 7/26/2024:
Falls Fire: On Thursday, control lines continued to hold in areas where homes were previously threatened, including
the Red Hill area and the Izee community. Prep has been completed by wildland and structure crews within the area
directly adjacent to the Sand Fire, where the fire is steadily moving away from structures. This allowed OSFM assets
to shift to the Telephone Fire, as fire activity moved to the northeast. Structural assets also continue to patrol the
Highway 395 corridor, protecting properties to both the east and west. Structure crews responded alongside
wildland resources to the Parasol Butte area to address structural protection related to multiple new fires in the
area. This work continued overnight, with crews identifying structures and evaluating protection needs.
Crews on the southern and western perimeter continued to reinforce control line and mopped up additional hot
spots. On the western side, firefighters conducted burn operations to tie the Whiskey Mountain Fire into the Falls
Fire. Fire crews utilized direct attack and firing operations to protect resources to the west, including Izee. To the
northwest, firefighters worked to tie together portions of control line using dozers and hand crews. On the northeast
side, crews advanced fireline on the FSR31, moving west along Lonesome Creek with the assistance of heavy
equipment. On the eastern edge, work progressed along FSR31, with fuel removal and mop up.
Today, crews will continue to mop up and hold areas on the south end of the Falls Fire. To the west, direct and
indirect firing tactics will be used to tie Whiskey Mountain Fire into the Falls Fire and existing road lines.

Status 7/26/2024:

As of this morning, the seven fires in the Homestead Complex total 1,179 acres. Suppression tactics are being prioritized by threat to
property, infrastructure, industry, and areas with the highest probability of success. 306 resources are assigned, including hand crews,
engines, water tenders, dozers, feller bunchers and skidgens.



Firefighters completed removing the hoselay on the Lost Bucket Fire (35 acres). The majority of resources from Lost Bucket will now be
assisting the Salmon 33 Fire, as well as the No Man Fire. Remaining resources will continue to maintain and patrol the control lines
around Lost Bucket.



Last night, a hotshot crew camped out near the Salmon 33 Fire (133 acres) to maximize opportunities to construct fireline during cooler
evening and morning conditions, when the fire is less active. On the No Man Fire (350 acres), crews and heavy equipment operators
have been making progress constructing fireline. On the east side of No Man Fire, staff are improving existing roads to use as
containment line. Great Basin Team 5 is coordinating with cooperators west of the fire to construct indirect control lines.



The Horse Heaven Creek Fire (371 acres) continues to be the most active fire in the complex. Handcrews, engines, and heavy
equipment are building direct and indirect containment lines on the north and east sides of the fire.



The Reynolds Butte Fire (104 acres) showed minimal activity yesterday. Crews continue building indirect firelines and laying hose.
Firefighters are using information from scouting missions the past few days to develop plans for direct and indirect firelines when
resources are available to be assigned to the Fuller Lake Fire (61 acres) and Bullpup Fire (125 acres).



Winds will remain light today, but the temperature is expected to increase slightly. Reduced cloud cover in the morning and lower
relative humidity could lead to a moderate increase in fire activity. However, the overall fire activity is expected to remain minimal. Local
smoke outlooks can be found online at: https://outlooks.airfire.org/outlook/d393fd74.



Area fire restrictions and danger ratings are as follows: Fire Danger Rating: High. Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPLs): 2. Public
Use Fire Restrictions (PURs): 2.



CLOSURES: Umpqua National Forest has issued two closures across the forest in response to fire activity to protect public and
wildland firefighter safety. Emergency Fire Closure ORDER NO. 06-15-24-03 and Emergency Fire Closure ORDER NO. 06-15-02-24-
01 which impact all of the Cottage Grove Ranger District, most of the Diamond Lake Ranger District, and parts of the Tiller and North

Dufur, Ore. – Night shift pushed mop-up deeper into the fire and continued to remove lingering heat inside the perimeter. Infrared
imaging is being used to aid firefighter’s efforts to find and cool hidden heat sources.

Patrols continue along the fire’s edge in several areas, including Jordan and Tygh Creek. Crews are also backhauling hose and
supplies that are no longer needed on the fireline.

Tomorrow, the Oregon Department of Forestry Incident Management Team 2 will transfer command of the fire to a robust local Type 3
team comprised of many firefighters that were on this fire during initial attack. The Type 3 organization will be shadowing ODF Team 2
today to gain additional knowledge of the fire. Transfer of command is planned for tomorrow morning at 6 a.m.

Today’s weather will be similar to yesterday, with light upslope winds and temperatures in the 90s. Hot and very dry conditions are
expected over the weekend, with temperatures in the triple digits.

The Farm Service Agency out of The Dalles offers disaster recovery assistance programs for lands affected by the fire. Details
regarding these programs can be explained through FSA staff contacts: www.wascoswcd.org/wasco-county-farm-service-agency-staff

Condon, Ore. — The Lone Rock Fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy by the unified command of the Northwest
(NW) Team 2 and Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) Red Team.
There will be a community meeting tomorrow, Saturday, July 27 at 6:00 p.m. at the Grade School Gym located at 392 Main Street,
Fossil, Ore. The meeting will also be available on the Lone Rock Fire Facebook page.
Yesterday’s Activities: Crews were successful at keeping the fire within its existing footprint and continued to focus on patrol and mop-
up operations. Minimal to moderate fire behavior was observed across the entire fire area. Containment of the Lone Rock Fire
increased to 45 percent.
Hoselays were put in place at the previous spot fire near Notch Road, and firefighters were able to use these resources to assist in
mop-up operations there. Crews also completed strategic firing operations yesterday morning to better secure the spot fire near Flatiron
Spring.
Firelines held well in the southern portion of the fire, including along OR 19 and Alder Creek Road. Crews continued to monitor and
mop-up isolated interior hot spots. North of Forest Service Road (FSR 25), crews worked to complete a small firing operation to remove
the remaining unburned fuels. As of 8:00 p.m. on Thursday evening, OR-19 and OR-207 were fully reopened to traffic.
Today’s Activities: The focus today will be on continuing to mop-up and patrol existing line across the fire area, as well as further
securing the spot fires on the east and west sides of the fire perimeter. Lines have held around these areas of concern for several days
now. Crews are evaluating the unburned pocket of fuels on the west side of the fire and may conduct strategic firing operations if
necessary.
Due to the tremendous work by firefighters and the completion of mop up work around homes, the threat to structures has reduced
greatly. As a result of that progress, some Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) task forces and the OSFM incident management team
will complete their shift today and then be reassigned to nearby fires or return home to protect their local communities on Saturday. The
OSFM Red Team and all of its structural firefighters that have protected Spray, Ore. and served on the fire would like to thank the
communities affected by this fire for their support.

Status 7/26/2024:

Firefighters have made significant progress, with most of the southern fireline now contained. Crews will be mopping up this area by
extinguishing any remaining hot spots, turning over smoldering debris and stirring with water.

On the northeast side, last night's successful firing operations in the grass are helping secure fire lines. Due to inaccessible areas and
steep terrain, firing operations remain the safest and most effective strategy to remove fuels and prevent the spread of the fire. Today,
firefighters will continue these firing operations along the northern edge, utilizing the dozer line, the Columbia River Highway State Trail,
and rocky areas, tying it in with the fire that has already reached the trail, securing it all the way from east to west.

Strategic firing operations are strengthening this line, which will increase smoke and may make flames visible. Once completed, this will
reduce fuel and lower the risk of fire spread.

Fire Behavior

The fire shows low to moderate activity with creeping, smoldering and backing downslope toward containment lines. Mid-day, more
smoke is expected in the area from the firing operations.

Slight weather changes are anticipated, with temperatures in the upper 70s, lower relative humidity, and lighter winds. Fuels remain

Status 7/24/2024:

Blue River, Or – Fire suppression efforts continue on the Ore Fire, which is burning 7 miles northeast of Blue River, Oregon. Challenges
include steep and rugged terrain, falling rocks and rolling debris, fire-weakened trees, and extreme weather conditions. Firefighter and
public
safety remain the number one priority on the incident. Fire managers are focusing on activities with a high probability of success while
minimizing risk to firefighters while protecting values such as communities, infrastructure and forest, recreation and cultural resources.

Last night’s community meeting in Blue River was well attended and the Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 expresses
its
appreciation for the community’s support and engagement.

Yesterday, burning debris rolling down the steep slopes caused fire to slopover (cross) the control line at the FS 1509 Road about a
mile from
the FS 15 Road junction. Ground crews, assisted by aviation resources, secured this slopover, but falling debris will remain a challenge
in the
southwest portion where the fire is most active. An engine patrolled and monitored through the night. Road grading was completed
along the
FS 1509 Road, north of Tidbits Trailhead. Firefighters successfully held the fire at the FS 15 Road, and heat is diminishing along the
established control line.

Today, crews will monitor the slopover, and patrol the rest of the southwest line as the fire continues backing down to FS 1509. Feller
bunchers and masticators will follow the road grading operations above Tidbits Trailhead to strengthen the FS 1509 Road. Northeast of
the
fire, grading operations will begin along the FS 1513 Road.

Weather: Occasional shading from passing clouds will trend temperatures a few degrees cooler and moderate humidity today
compared to
yesterday. Terrain-driven winds continue for the next few days. A deep marine layer will push onshore tonight, bringing mostly cloudy
skies,
warmer overnight low temperatures, and excellent humidity recovery.

Safety: Fire danger continues to increase as does the number of fire incidents around the region. The public plays a crucial role in
preventing
the next wildfire. Your caution with all ignition sources can help avoid causing undue strain on firefighting resources. For prevention tips,
visit
https://keeporegongreen.org. Fire restrictions are in place within the Willamette National Forest. For more information visit
https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/willamette/fire. A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is in place over the fire area.

Smoke: Smoke from numerous wildfires burning throughout the state will affect air quality in many areas over the coming days. An Air
Resource Advisor is now assigned to the Ore Fire and providing daily smoke outlooks for the affected area at
https://wildlandfiresmoke.net.
Being prepared for smoke is important to everyone’s health. For more information go to: www.airnow.gov/wildfires/be-smoke-ready.org/

CURRENT SITUATION: Along the lakeshore, fire activity moderated yesterday, and helicopters dropped water to further slow fire
spread. Crews continued strategic firing operations around homes and outbuildings around DP 17 near Flick Creek and patrolled the
area to ensure no heat remained from previous firing operations. In Stehekin, firefighters continued to improve the fireline around the
community, and working in coordination with state mobilized resources, put in a sprinkler system and tested it. The southern edge of the
fire continues to hold in Lone Fir Creek and crews continued to work on the indirect contingency lines south of the fire.

Logistics on the Pioneer Fire take an extra level of coordination given the remote communities and access. Firefighters on the north and
lakeshore fire areas are being supported by boats to transport them to the fire area and bring firefighting supplies. In addition, fire
management is working with local businesses in Stehekin to provide meals and other support for crews working in that area.

TODAY’S ACTIVITIES: Suppression and containment efforts will continue across the Pioneer Fire today. Along the northwest perimeter
of the fire, firefighters are preparing to conduct additional strategic firing operations to burn out vegetation between the line and active
fire. Drones may be used in this effort and firefighters will work through the night to patrol the area and support potential firing
operations. Helicopters will provide water drops to cool the fire and limit spread. In Stehekin, fire crews will continue improving the
constructed fireline around the community and coordinating with the state mobilized structure protection group working around homes
and private property. South of the fire, crews will be clearing and improving roads near Gold Creek and Oss Peak.

WEATHER: Today warmer and drier conditions will return, with high temperatures in the mid-80s. Winds tomorrow will be lighter and
mostly terrain driven, shifting to down lake or northwest in the evening.

EVACUATIONS: Level 1, 2 and 3 evacuation levels remain in effect around the Pioneer Fire. Please visit https://t.ly/QoH9w for more
information.

Today’s Highlight: The Eastern Area Complex Incident Management Team (CIMT), led by Brian Jenkins, Incident Commander, assumed
the management of the Red, Round and Wickiup fires at 6:00 a.m. on July 26, 2024. The Eastern Area CIMT expresses appreciation to
the Southern Area Gray Team for their support to the firefighters, community, and Deschutes National Forest.

Operations: Firefighters continued to assess feasible locations for construction of control features in the vicinity of the Red Fire within
the Diamond Peak Wilderness. Hand crews also continued work to manually reduce wildfire fuels near Crescent Lake along Forest
Service Road 60 in the vicinity of recreational residences. To the southeast of the fire, outside the Wilderness, a task force, consisting of
heavy equipment continued construction of a shaded fuel break along the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

Shaded fuel breaks consist of an area along a road or rail line, where dense tree stand are thinned to reduce fire intensity while
retaining enough shade to slow down ground fire. Decreasing tree density minimizes the potential for fire to spread through the crowns
of trees. Shaded fuel breaks are a fundamental tool to manage wildfire risk in fire prone environments.

Today, firefighters will continue to monitor the fire within the Diamond Peak Wilderness and identify access routes suitable for fireline
construction. Hand crews, engines, and heavy equipment will continue to construct the shaded fuel break along the west side of the
Union Pacific Railroad tracks and on the north side of Forest Service Road 60 southwest of the community of Crescent Lake Junction.
Staff will continue to look for suitable routes that will allow them to extend this fuel break to the north.

Status KEY MESSAGE:

Northern Rockies Complex Incident Management Team 1, Incident Commander Brent Olson took command of the Retreat Fire at 6 am
this morning.

CURRENT STATUS:

Northern Rockies Incident Management Team 1 has been assigned responsibility for managing fire suppression activities as delegated
by agency jurisdictions beginning 6:00 am on July 26. The fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy with public and
firefighter safety as the number one priority. The Retreat Fire is estimated at 13,183 acres, burning southwest of Naches, WA. Active
fire behavior may be observed due to forecasted winds and smoke lifting out of drainages. Heavy equipment and hand crews will
construct direct and indirect control lines along the northern and southern fire perimeter to reduce the fire’s advance.

WEATHER AND FIRE BEHAVIOR:

Weather is dominated by an upper-level trough with increasing winds projected for this weekend. Maximum daytime temperatures
above 90 degrees. Winds are expected to be variable, 4 to 7 miles mph from the west changing direction from the east in the afternoon
between 5-10 mph feet above ground level. Minimum humidities are expected to be between 13 and 23 percent. Three primary fuel
types are present in the fire landscape: Oak bottoms, grass sage brush, and Ponderosa pine with some mixed conifers. The oak
bottoms and grass/sage are very dry and readily available to burn, isolated group and single tree torching may create potential for
spotting.

Status 7/26/2024:

FIRE ACTIVITY: Fortunately, Thursday’s forecast winds were not as strong as
predicted and the fire was less active than feared. High temperatures and low
humidity did allow it to grow, just more modestly. More seasonable weather with
a lighter west/southwest wind should be around through the weekend.
Swawilla Fire
The line along the Swawilla Basin, at the heel of the fire, is considered
contained. Along the Peter Dan Road, firefighters were able to do point
protection around structures and were supported by retardant drops. The fire
made one attempt to cross the Peter Dan road and was stopped by a Type 1 hot
shot crew. On the other side of the fire, flames pushed against the lower Manilla
Road but did not cross it. Fire moved into some of the drainages southwest of
Keller and made its way to the top of Mt.Tolman. It is now backing down the
north side towards Meadow Creek. Fuels on this side of the mountain are
greener, slowing progression.
The priority of fire management continues to be life and structure protection,
however the incoming, more moderate weather after the cold front, provides a
good opportunity for more direct attack on the fire. Crews are scouting for terrain features, such as old roads and dozer
lines, to continue containment line efforts to reduce further spread to the east.
More resources are showing up daily and some are able to shift from the Bridge
Creek Fire to support actions on the Swawilla Fire. A night shift and a swing
shift are in place allowing for around-the-clock work on the line. These
firefighters, engines, machinery and firefighting infrastructure require more
space to house so the Forward Operating Base (FOB) has moved from Keller to
a 20 acre camp near the intersection of Agency Cutoff Road and Cache Creek
Road. The Incident Command Post remains at the Nespelem Community
Center.
Even with the favorable change in the weather, forecasting models still indicate
a chance that the fire will reach the town of Keller, push towards the Cache
Creek Road, and impact the Buffalo Lake area. For this reason, evacuations
remain in place. Community leaders are regularly evaluating these orders with
the incident management team. The team appreciates the community’s
patience with this process.
An evacuation center is open at the Lake Roosevelt High School gym in Coulee
Dam. The shelter at the Paschal Sherman Indian School in Omak is full. Keller
Ferry is open only for limited service to assist with evacuations.
Bridge Creek Wildfire
The Bridge Creek Fire is looking good. Firefighters are monitoring the line and
working to extinguish hot spots on the east side of the fire. Opening the Bridge Creek Road is a priority and crews are
focusing significant time in removing fire weakened trees that may fall on Bridge Creek Road and threaten the safety of
the public when the road opens.

Status 7/26/2024:
Telephone Fire: On Thursday, the fire experienced significant growth to the south and southeast and crossed FSR28
and Military Road. The fire has crossed Cow Creek, as well as Little Cow Creek. Crews remained engaged in
suppression efforts and worked alongside night shift for several hours. The plan for Friday is to continue tying in
firelines in the north and to look for opportunities to anchor the fire near FSR28.
Focus has shifted the structural resources north of Highway 20, throughout the Cow Creek area and continuing east.
Overnight, OSFM assets assigned to the Telephone Fire continued to patrol the structures to the south and southeast
of the fire area. Friday, crews will continue to identify, assess and begin to prep homes in the area affected by the
updated level 3 evacuation zone. This work is being prioritized on homes directly adjacent to the fireline.
Although Thursday was another active day, the threat to structures does still continue to trend downward. As part of
the structure risk reduction, the number of surveyed and prepped structures has increased. This means that the
location of structures is mapped, ensuring crews will know the best access routes, should they become threatened.
The prep work that has been completed ranges from surface to full prep, depending on proximity to the fire. These
extensive efforts help mitigate the risk to structures should the fire front move through the area.

Status Whiskey Mountain: 2,565 acres; Cow Creek: 85 acres; Sand: 2,733 acres; Parasol: 353 acres; Poison: 39.6

Alaska Complex Incident Management Team 1 assumed command of Falls and Telephone Fires at 6:00 am Friday morning and
remains in Unified Command with Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM).

Thursday afternoon, strong afternoon winds coupled with extremely dry fuels increased fire behavior on the Telephone Fire. Several
new fire starts were located to the east of Falls Fire in the Parasol Butte area. Evacuation levels were issued and extended due to the
new starts and Telephone Fire’s
move across FSR28.

Crews assigned to the Falls Fire responded to new starts and the expanding Telephone Fire, along with aerial resources, to minimize
the impact of fire growth. Structure protection crews quickly mobilized and also responded to the area. Telephone Fire has grown 3,000
acres and moved further to the southeast overnight and is approximately 4 miles north of Hwy 20.

Falls Fire: On Thursday, control lines continued to hold in areas where homes were previously threatened, including the Red Hill area
and the Izee community. Prep has been completed by wildland and structure crews within the area directly adjacent to the Sand Fire,
where the fire is steadily moving away from structures. This allowed OSFM assets to shift to the Telephone Fire, as fire activity moved
to the northeast. Structural assets also continue to patrol the Highway 395 corridor, protecting properties to both the east and west.
Structure crews responded alongside wildland resources to the Parasol Butte area to address structural protection related to multiple
new fires in the area. This work continued overnight, with crews identifying structures and evaluating protection needs.

Crews on the southern and western perimeter continued to reinforce control line and mopped up additional hot spots. On the western
side, firefighters conducted burn operations to tie the Whiskey Mountain Fire into the Falls Fire. Fire crews utilized direct attack and
firing operations to protect resources to the west, including Izee. To the northwest, firefighters worked to tie together portions of control
line using dozers and hand crews. On the northeast side, crews advanced fireline on the FSR31, moving west along Lonesome Creek
with the assistance of heavy equipment. On the eastern edge, work progressed along FSR31, with fuel removal and mop up.

Today, crews will continue to mop up and hold areas on the south end of the Falls Fire. To the west, direct and indirect firing tactics will
be used to tie Whiskey Mountain Fire into the Falls Fire and existing road lines.

Highlights
Crews made progress on preparing containment lines to the south of the active fire area yesterday. Heavy equipment was brought in to
assist with clearing roads and creating fuel breaks reopening an Eagle Creek Fire contingency line. Conditions were also favorable for
an infra red flight allowing for better mapping of the area and a more accurate number of acres burned.

Operations
Crews continue to prepare containment lines, clearing roads and trails, to the southeast along the Rainy-Wahtum Trail #409 from Rainy
Lake to Wahtum Lake and continuing to the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) approximately one mile to the 2017 Eagle Creek Fire burn area. A
temporary reroute of the PCT to the Eagle Creek Trail is expected. To the east of the fire, crews continue to strengthen a containment
line along the Gorton Creek Trail #408 and identifying potential contingency lines further east. Crew will continue to do fuels reduction
work and tie in indirect line along the edge of the wilderness area.

Fire Behavior & Weather
The fire is burning within the Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness and moving steadily along the eastern edge up Woolly Horn Ridge and west
towards Waucoma Ridge. Moderate upslope growth is expected to continue around the fire’s edges with potential for wind to push to
the south. Smoke will continue to be visible, especially in the afternoon, as fire consumes denser pockets of vegetation and dead-and-
down fuels. Decreasing humidity and light and variable winds will allow for warmer and drier conditions over the area today. This may
increase fire activity and smoke, especially in the afternoon.

Evacuations, Road and Trail Closures, and Restrictions
The Mt. Hood National Forest and the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area have issued a joint emergency closure for the fire
area. Closure information can be found on the Mt. Hood National Forest website Alerts & Closures page at: Whisky Creek Fire Closures
in Mark O. Hatfield Wilderness.
