Status 09/25/2023
Crews were able to hold the northern fire perimeter even with sustained 20 mph winds and gusts of 45 mph. The northeast corner of
the fire area remained the most active, yet high humidity and wetting rains prevented significant fire growth. Continued hard work by
firefighters and the changing weather accounts for an increase of overall fire containment.
Fire engines and crews patrolled the Sixes River Road corridor ensuring primary and contingency plans were in place throughout the
day’s high winds in the event fire activity increased suddenly. Additional resources were present on the western fire perimeter near the
Hatchery and structures. Crews actively patrolled the Elk River Road corridor ensuring no burning materials rolled over primary
containment lines. Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) heavy equipment and ground crews strengthened containment lines near
the Sunshine Bar area to limit any additional fire spread.

Flights by aviation resources were limited by the adverse weather conditions across the fire area. An unmanned aircraft system (UAS)
was able to make an early morning flight, providing firefighters with perimeter fire data and showing areas with highest concentrations
of heat from the fire. If conditions permit, the UAS will continue to gather information today, which may include the status of roads. With
the advent of heavy wetting rains and potential for runoff and floods in the fire area, crews plan to remain in fire camp longer this
morning. Supervisors will assess the safety of roads and trails this morning prior to beginning work, especially near steep slopes where
debris flows are possible.

Evacuations: Curry County Sheriff’s Office has identified four evacuation zones around the Anvil Fire. At this time, Zones 1 and 4
remain in Level 3 “Go” evacuation status and Zones 2 and 3 are in Level 2 “Get Set” status. The Sheriff and fire managers are
constantly evaluating the evacuation status and will lift them once there is certainty that they would not need to be reinstated. View the
interactive evacuation map at https://bit.ly/45UIh2E. Sign up for Curry Co. emergency alerts at the link below. The Red Cross shelter in
Port Orford is in standby to support any evacuees.

Area and Road Closures: For the safety of firefighters and the public, the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest (RRSNF) and Bay
District Bureau of Land Management have issued closure orders for the Anvil Fire area. Find maps and closure information at

Status 09/25/2023

Suppression: With the cool weather and wetting rain further decreasing fire behavior to creeping and smoldering even extinguishing
some areas of remaining heat within the fires’ perimeters, most firefighting resources are focused on suppression repair. However,
crews working on the Petes Lake Fire expect to finalize mastication efforts to reduce fuels between the fire and Forest Service Road
4628 on Monday.



Suppression Repair: Crews continue to work on chipping small diameter trees and other vegetation cut during the fire suppression
efforts. Larger trees are being hauled offsite to remove the fuel for potential future fires. As the rainfall amounts and wind speeds
increase, the environment that firefighters are working in becomes more dangerous. Saturated soils and wind gusts can further weaken
trees and put firefighters at increased risk for fatal injuries. However, they continue to make risk-informed decisions in the field to
complete the necessary suppression repair work while remaining safe.



On the Bedrock Fire, 6.6 miles of handline created by firefighters to limit fire spread have been repaired. Another one mile of handline
repair is needed on the Bedrock Fire. In comparison, only two miles of the nearly nine miles of handline constructed on the Lookout Fire
have been repaired thus far. About half of the handline miles constructed on the Horse Creek Fire have been repaired. Across all five
fires, nine miles of handline have been repaired. Efforts are wrapping up throughout the Horse Creek Fire, with 0.6 miles of handline
repair to complete in the northern end of the fire footprint. Suppression repair efforts on the Pothole Fire should be completed today.



Additional suppression repair work includes removing supplies firefighters used in the suppression efforts on each of the fires. To date,
firefighters have backhauled more than four semi-truck loads of supplies used in the field – including 30 miles of hose that were
deployed in the event it was needed. When returned, these supplies are refurbished and made available for another incident across the
region or country.



Weather: Cloudy skies and widespread rain persisted throughout last night and into this morning as a cold front moved into the region.
Heavy rain and scattered showers are expected throughout the day with high temperatures in 50s. Winds along ridgetops near the
Lookout Fire and Petes Lake Fire will be from the south-southwest, with gusts up to 25-30 miles per hour. More light to moderate
rainfall is expected throughout the week.

Current Situation: Fire crews have been working to prepare and strengthen containment lines around the fire and that work is coming to
completion. Yesterday firefighters completed mop-up to remove any remaining heat adjacent to the fireline. There has been little to no
growth of the Camp Creek fire in the last week and no significant fire activity or growth is expected. Within the interior of the fire, some
areas will continue to smolder and burn in place with minimal fire activity until there is significant precipitation.

Today’s Activities: Today firefighters will continue chipping and hauling away vegetation debris created from fireline preparation.
Suppression repair activities will also continue throughout the fire area and will include construction of water bars to minimize erosion
on the mechanically constructed portion of the fireline north of the fire. Crews will also continue patroling the fireline, checking for and
extinguishing any hot spots.

Weather: Today will be cold and damp and these weather conditions will continue at least through the middle of the week. Widespread
rain showers are possible as a cold front passes through the region tonight and tomorrow.

Smoke: Current smoke outlook: https://outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net/outlook/2c7a8f9b

Closures: Barlow Wayside Park and the Sandy Ridge Recreation Site are temporarily closed due to fire activity. Clackamas County
residents can sign up at https://www.clackamas.us/dm/publicalerts to receive emergency alerts via email, phone, or text.

Restrictions: A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) is issued over the fire area. It is illegal for the public to fly drones over or near
wildfires because of the potential for accidents and disruption of suppression operations. Regardless of the fire, aircraft is not permitted
to fly over the Bull Run watershed.

Northwest Team 6 will be transferring command to Northwest Team 13 today at 6 pm. This will allow continued strategic management of
all the Umpqua Fires as personnel time out. Updates for the Chilcoot Fire are posted on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays
unless a significant event or situation change warrant more frequent updates.



Current Situation: Suppression work and weather have moderated fire activity on the Chilcoot Fire. Operations on the fire are moving
into a suppression repair phase. Suppression repair includes restoring hand and dozer line, back hauling equipment, chipping, and
other resource mitigations. Limited fire personnel will be out in the field today. Due to expected heavy rain and winds most firefighters
will be held back from the line to mitigate risk of getting vehicles and equipment stuck or having trees fall near crews.





Weather: Heavy rain is expected with gusty conditions up 35 mph. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s to mid 60s.



Smoke: Smoke outlooks are available at https://outlooks.wildlandfiresmoke.net/outlook/467b8c16



Safety and Closures: There is a forest closure for portions of the Umpqua National Forest in response to fire activity in the area to
protect public and wildland firefighter safety. A Closure Order for the Canton Creek area has been issued by Bureau of Land
Management (BLM): Chilcoot Ridge Fire Emergency Closure Order BLM Roseburg District.

The Morgan Fire is burning in steep, forested terrain, approximately 21 miles northwest of Lakeview, Oregon and 8 miles north of
Quartz Mountain, on both private and National Forest System lands. The fire was reported at 2:44 pm on September 18. Cause is
under investigation.


Temporary Road Closure: On Thursday, the Fremont-Winema National Forest issued a temporary closure for public safety on a
segment of Forest Service Road 2800, between its junction with Forest Road 3428 on the north and Forest Road 2800-016 on the
south. A copy of the order and map is on the Forest website: https://www.fs.usda.gov/fremont-winema


Yesterday: Substantial rainfall and temperatures in the mid-30s aided firefighters as they worked to establish and strengthen control
lines around the fire. Crews on the northwest perimeter engaged in mop up operations, and felled burned trees that pose a hazard to
firefighters and the fire line. Crews around much of the eastern flank patrolled and monitored established line. On the southern flank,
firefighters continued working to find control features where the fire entered steeper and more challenging terrain. An overnight shift of
engines and firefighters continued suppression efforts.


Today’s Activities: Firefighters will take advantage of yesterday’s cool wet weather to build fire line directly at the fire’s edge. Operations
are underway to strengthen containment lines ahead of windy weather predicted for early next week. Crews will look for opportunities to
contain the southwest perimeter in the most steep and inaccessible part of the fire.


Weather: Today will be sunny with light wind and temperatures in the low 60s.


Evacuations: There is currently a Level 1 Evacuation. Evacuation maps are posted on the Morgan Fire Inciweb page and the Lake
County, OR website: https://www.lakecountyor.org/

Acres burned in Oregon = 12,463

Yesterday: With the completion of control lines across the northern side of Smith River Complex, fire personnel shifted efforts into full
suppression repair mode. Contingencies for the forecast inclement weather were approved, as the safety of firefighters, contractors and
support staff remain the highest priority for the incident management team.

Today’s Activities: The current operational focus of fire suppression repair and backhauling operations is ongoing. Chipping operations
have concluded along the northwestern perimeter, with dozer line repair work underway at the northeastern point of the fire footprint.

Construction of the secondary control line along the FS 1106 road toward Brookings has approximately two miles of work remaining.
The predicted storm is still expected to bring scattered showers throughout the day, strengthening into significant rainfall in the evening
and Monday. Flood warnings and a wind advisory will be in effect. Fire personnel will be directed to stand down for safety for up to 24
hours until weather conditions mitigate on Tuesday.

Evacuations: The Josephine County Sheriff has set the evacuation status to Level 1-BE READY. Levels will be reevaluated on a
recurring basis. This includes the area west of US-199 in Josephine County, including the community of O’Brien and to the Oregon-
California border. Monitor the Rogue Valley Emergency Management site and also sign up for evacuation alerts, updates and an
interactive Fire First Response Map with evacuation areas available at link below.

Smoke: Southerly to southwest winds will usher smoke northward and inland into Sunday. Smoke from active fires in northern California
will contribute to reduced air quality before arrival of rains. The most impacted communities will be along and east of the US-101
corridor of Curry County, inland to Grants Pass and the US-42 corridor. Early smoke in drainages should begin to dissipate by early
afternoon. Check current conditions at link below.

Area Closures: A closure is in place on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest for Forest Road 1106 (South Elk Mountain Road),
Forest Road 1205 (Lower Wheeler Road), and Forest Road 1983 (Mt. Emily Road) until October 31, 2023 or until rescinded. The
closure allows for safe operations related to the Smith River Complex North. Closures on BLM land are in place as well. Visit
bit.ly/RRSNFAlerts or https://www.blm.gov/orwafire for additional information.

Road Closures and Delays: Caltrans in Del Norte County issued a schedule of road closures and lane restrictions on US-199.
Weekdays will have a combination of road closure and lane restrictions. Over the weekend, the road will remain open, but with lane
restrictions and pilot cars. Expect delays. For specific information on road access, please see the Caltrans QuickMap site
https://quickmap.dot.ca.gov/ and Oregon Department of Transportation’s https://www.tripcheck.com/. Local law enforcement cautions
against any non-essential traffic along this route. Navigation apps and mapping programs have been routing travelers into active fire
areas. Do not use forest roads as alternate routes.

Restrictions: Please respect the temporary flight restriction (TFR) established for the Smith River Complex. Keep drones away from
firefighting operations and the TFR. If you fly, we can’t. Don’t be the reason a firefighting air mission has to divert! For more information
on the TFR, visit https://tfr.faa.gov/.

Daily air reconnaissance flights continue to monitor and identify new smoke within the fire perimeter during the day shift. Handheld
infrared cameras continue to be used during night operations to identify areas of heat within the fire perimeter. These “hotspots” are
then marked with flagging for firefighters to mop up and check until no heat remains

Firefighters continue to patrol fires that have reached 100% containment. Repair work continues throughout the complex, including the
installation of water bars for diverting rainwater and reducing soil erosion.

As containment continues in the complex, smoke may be visible as vegetation within the fire’s interior continues to burn.
