Status 9/22/2025

Update: Planned actions for Monday, September 22 include monitoring fire behavior and movement in steep and inaccessible

areas and completing remaining suppression repair in areas where the fire is no longer a threat to values at risk. Additional

backcountry crews well be inserted to monitor fire activity on the northwest portion of the fire. Air support is available when weather
permits allowing some limited use of water bucket drops to cool the fire’s edge. Firefighters continue to assess the fire activity near the
values at risk in the Lake Cushman and Anderson Pass areas. Crews will continue to secure and maintain the closure area involved for
public safety.



Weather and Fire Behavior: There is 0% chance of wetting rain today. Warmer and drier weather is in the forecast to return to

the area this week. Widespread wetting rain will be necessary to significantly diminish fire activity and bring about a season-

ending event.



Closures: The Northern half of Lake Cushman remains closed to ensure firefighter and public safety during ongoing firefighting

and suppression repair efforts. The southern half of the lake is open to recreation. There are extensive closures in Olympic

National Forest and Olympic National Park. Visit their websites for current information.



A temporary flight Restriction is in place over the Bear Gulch fire area. If you fly, we can’t.

Status 10/01/2025 Final Update
Crown Creek & Katy Creek Fires: Repair work will continue on both Crown Creek & Katy Creek Fires. Repair
work focuses on reducing future erosion and potential landslides along dozer and handlines, chipping fuels that
were piled during suppression efforts (reducing fuel loads for future wildfires in the area) and restoring or
improving roads that were impacted by heavy equipment or vehicular traffic, allowing better access for local
residences and overall access back into public lands.
Thursday is the last operational shift for the incident management team. Crews will demobilize throughout today
and tomorrow, either reassigning to regional fires or returning to local districts. The fires will lower in complexity
and return to local jurisdictions (DNR, USFS, Stevens County Fire Protection District 11, Joint Fire Protection
District 3-8). The jurisdictions will continue with remaining repairs and continue to patrol the edge for any
remaining smoldering material near the line. Internal burning fuels will continue to produce smoke and fuels
continue to consume. This is expected to continue until we receive significant rainfall or snow.

Current Situation: A local McKenzie River Type 3 Incident Management Team assumed command of the Foley Ridge fire at 7:00a.m. today.
Incident Commander Ted Piehl and the McKenzie River Ranger District would like to thank Northwest Team 8 (NW8) for their time and efforts
on the incident. Equipment and firefighting personnel as well as many of the NW8 Team overhead are continuing their missions through the
transition, no additional resources are being ordered. The Incident Command Post at Strube Camp has been reduced in size but will
continue to support the fire.
Resource Advisors are working with ground personnel to complete suppression repair work around the fire footprint. Great progress has
been made on the shaded fuel break along Foley Ridge Road. Equipment and crews will continue these efforts along the three-mile stretch
for several more days. This work is reducing the fuel load to allow the road to function as an established control line for future fires, as well
as creating a healthier, more wildfire resistant forest.
Equipment and firefighting personnel remain in the area, please continue to drive cautiously and be aware of vehicles slowing down and
turning on and off the road systems.
Weather: Today will be partly cloudy throughout the day with a chance of precipitation. The temperature is forecasted to be in the mid 50’s.
Some precipitation is anticipated to be in the fire area through Saturday, with warmer and drier conditions starting Sunday and continuing
through the week. Further fire movement with the drier weather is unlikely.

A community meeting will be held at Cashmere Middle School on Monday, October 6, at 7 p.m. Incident management team members from
both the Lower Sugarloaf and Labor Mountain fires will present updates on fire conditions and respond to questions. The meeting will be
livestreamed on Facebook, recorded and available for viewing later.

Current situation: Heavy helicopters dropped a total of 151,000 gallons of water to cool the fire’s edge on the northeastern, eastern, and
southeastern portions of the fire yesterday. Scooper planes were also active yesterday and both heavy helicopters
and scooper planes are expected to be very active today working to contain the spread of fire, manage hot spots inaccessible to firefighters,
and support crews on the ground. Firefighters completed primary containment line and installed hoselays near old Blewett
Pass. Fireline construction work continues on both sides of Highway 97 up to Tronsen Ridge to the east, and to the west across to Scotty
Creek, Peshastin Creek, and Shaser Creeks. Crews are working on the 800 Road securing line, mopping up, and removing hazard
trees. Saw crews are continuing their work removing fire-weakened hazard trees in the Hwy 97 corridor as they work towards getting the
highway safe to reopen. Firefighters are securing the fireline on Tronsen Ridge. Hotshot crews from across the country have
arrived to bolster operations in the Mission Creek, Sand Creek, and 7104 Road areas as they continue building direct and indirect fireline on
the eastern fire perimeter. Crews are also going direct in the Ruby Creek area. Firefighters completed the handline
connecting Hwy 97 to the 181 Road near Windmill Creek. Fire crews have established hoselays along Ingalls Creek and firefighters are
ready to hold the line. Firefighters are mopping up and patrolling along the 9737 and 9703 Roads on the southwestern fire perimeter.

both the Lower Sugarloaf and Labor Mountain fires will present updates on fire conditions and respond to questions. The meeting will be
livestreamed on Facebook, recorded and available for viewing later.

Current Situation: Yesterday, crews assessed the impacts resulting from the previous day’s high winds and found minimal fire spread. This
allowed crews to focus their attention on furthering critical tasks to strengthen containment lines. The southern part of the fire continues to
see the most active fire behavior. Firefighters on the eastern side of Swakane Creek road used firing operations to slow fire spread by
removing unconsumed fuels down the drainage to the creek. Elsewhere, crews continued working on suppression repair and other
rehabilitative work in areas where the fire is fully contained. The evening shift continued the work of their daytime counterparts. Most evening
crews are being reassigned to the Entiat forward operating base to decrease travel time to firefighting locations. As the threat to homes and
other values at risk declines, resources from fire agencies across Washington state that responded to help are starting to demobilize and
return to their respective duty stations.

Today, firefighting crews will continue the work from the last few days, including strategic firing on the western side of Swakane Creek road.
Efforts to strengthen containment features are ongoing as is road and suppression repair. The structure protection group will continue
conducting assessments, patrol, prep, and be available to assist wherever needed. Scoopers will be available to assist firefighters until the
end of the day when they will be returned to Washington Department of Natural Resources. Other aviation resources remain available to
deliver water or retardant as needed and when conditions allow.

Join Northwest Team 7 for updates at a Community Mee8ng in Agness today from 2:30-3:30 PM at the Old
Agness Library and Community Center, 3905 Cougar Lane. The mee8ng will also stream live on the Southwest
Oregon Fire Informa8on Facebook page.
CURRENT STATUS: The fire grew 153 acres in the past 24 hours. Fire behavior was moderate yesterday, with surface
fuels sAll too damp to carry fire. Burning was limited to scaCered concentraAons of heavy fuels and stump holes.
This behavior allowed firefighters to conAnue direct suppression close to the fire’s edge. Work is focused on keeping
the fire in its footprint, strengthening constructed fire lines, and mopping up along the perimeter where accessible.
Firefighters conAnue mopping up spot fires, and no new spots were detected yesterday. The fire showed no new
movement where it previously crossed Bear Camp Road into the Shasta Costa Creek drainage. This area will remain
a high priority for the extensive use of helicopter water drops. Unmanned Aerial PlaNorms (drones) are in use for
infrared detecAon to discover any hidden sources of heat that might challenge control lines or expand the
perimeter.
Work is nearly complete to prepare Burnt Ridge Road (FSR 2308) as conAngency fire line. Firefighters strengthened
direct fire lines around Wild Rivers Lodge and Brushy Bar and conducted mop-up and fire line repair around
Paradise Lodge. Boaters are encouraged to avoid the river between Foster Bar and Cougar Lane to allow full access
for helicopter operaAons.
WEATHER: Warmer and drier weather is expected to conAnue drying fuels unAl mid-week, with weCer condiAons
to follow. Clear skies will allow conAnued extensive use of helicopters to drop water where the fire shows any
movement.
EVACUATIONS: A Level 2 (BE SET!) evacuaAon order is in place from Tacoma Rapids (River Mile 29) to the Oak Flat
Area, including Agness; and southwest from Spud Road and the Rogue River, bordered on the northwest by Agness
Road (Forest System Road [FSR] 33) and ending at Forest System Road 3318. An interacAve evacuaAon map can be
found at hCps://bit.ly/MoonComplexEvacs.
SMOKE: Air quality informaAon is available at hCps://www.oregonsmoke.org/ and hCps://www.airnow.gov.
CLOSURES: Bear Camp Road (FSR 23), Eden Valley Road (FSR 3348) , Burnt Ridge Road (FSR 2308), and Agness
Road (FSR 33) from Agness to Eden Valley Road are closed. County Road 375 to Foster Bar is open. An emergency
area, road and trail closure is in place on the Rogue River-Siskiyou NaAonal Forest for the fire. Please visit
hCps://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/rogue-siskiyou/alerts for closure informaAon and maps.
River permits for the Wild SecAon are being issued. Burned areas along the river may be extremely hazardous with
a high potenAal for falling green trees that have been damaged by fire and rockslides into the river. Due to fire
impacts and the complexity of moving personnel and gear to the fire area, the Forest Service has suspended
motorboat traffic upstream of Foster Bar boat ramp. Lodge owners and private cabin owners may travel upstream
for ingress and egress purposes to their private property/businesses.

The snow peak fire is located in a remote area of the Kettle Crest. Resources continue to evaluate the safest and most effective
suppression tactics, considering the difficult terrain and limited access points.
Fire growth has been minimal, showing 28 acres of growth yesterday (9/17), and 18 acres of growth the day prior (9/16). The total
footprint
of this fire is now sitting at 846 acres.
Most of yesterday's activity was concentrated on the northern finger of the fire. This area was slowly burning uphill, producing visible
smoke
from occasional isolated single tree torching.
Structure wrap on the Snow Peak cabin has remained stable and undisturbed, offering protection from the threat of burning embers and
radiant heat in the event that the fire moves closer to the cabin.

Status 9/22/2025 Update
QUILCENE, Wash., – Over the weekend the Tunnel Creek Fire grew to 515 acres. The fire area was predominantly blanketed by
smoke preventing direct observations. According to infrared heat mapping, much of the growth occurred to the east, with a small
amount of growth to the west. The fire is still confined between the north and south Tunnel Creek drainages.

Poor visibility continues to prevent aircraft from dropping buckets of water on the fire and additional reconnaissance. If conditions allow
reconnaissance flights are scheduled for today.

The fire received less than two tenths of an inch of rain on Sunday. Increased moisture will moderate fire behavior, slow progression
and mitigate the impact from smoke.

Fire activity is expected to follow a pattern of increasing during warm, dry periods and decreasing during cooler, wetter conditions. This
cycle is likely to continue until sustained fall rains fully extinguish the fire.

Status 10/04/2025 Update

The fire has not received a heavy amount of moisture and has grown approximately 1000 acres to the northeast over the past four days.
Some of this acreage is due to planned firing operations adjacent to the Bumping River Road to treat pockets of unburnt fuel (down wood,
grass, and understory) to add depth and to strengthen the containment line.

Today and Saturday: Crews are continuing to work on the un-burnt pockets of fuel on the West side of Goose Prairie down to Wells Road.
They are also bringing fire down to the Bumping River Road on the east side of Goose Prairie, working east to the area across from Cougar
Flats. Structure protection operations along Bumping River Road include Edge Water cabins and Ski Bowl Lodge. Structure protection
operations on SR-410 include the FS cabin tracts, American River, Idle Hour and Sleepy Hollow.

**Fire information updates will occur as significant changes or increased fire activity happens.

REMINDER: If you fly a drone, we can’t fly! Operating a drone near a wildfire poses a serious risk to firefighter lives and delays suppression
efforts.

Weather and Fire Activity: Unsettled, showery weather will continue through Saturday. Excellent overnight relevant humidity recovery is
forecast. Anticipated northwesterly winds Friday, increasing in magnitude late in the afternoon. Partly cloudy conditions, with a high near 61.
50% chance of rain. Moderate fire spread expected. Fire behavior will be flanking and backing affected by afternoon winds.
