OLYMPIA, Wash., – Fire management officials continue to respond to the Tunnel Creek and Bear Gulch Fires on the east side of the
Olympic National Forest.

Weather conditions, conducive to fire growth and smoke production, including dry easterly winds and lower relative humidity are expected
to arrive this evening. Residents and visitors may notice an increase in smoke, especially near the Lake Cushman and Hood Canal area.
The winds are forecast to subside by Tuesday evening.

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.

Tunnel Creek Fire:

Size: 290 acres
Cause: Lightning
Containment:0%
On Sunday, the fire area received less than two-tenths of an inch of rain, moderating fire behavior in the short term. The fire continues to
burn in a remote area of the Buckhorn Wilderness with very steep terrain. Firefighters continue to assess the feasibility of using aircraft for
effective and successful suppression activities.

Bear Gulch Fire:

Size: 10843 acres
Cause: Human
Containment:9%
On Sunday, the fire area received less than one-tenth of an inch of rain, moderating fire behavior in the short term. The fire continues to be
active in the No-name drainage area. Aviation resources remain on standby to support fire suppression and structure protection efforts as
needed in areas adjacent to Lake Cushman and within Olympic National Park.

Evacuation Levels: Homes in the area near Dry Creek Trail are in a Level 3 “GO” evacuation. This includes the Staircase Campground and
areas across the causeway on the north side of Lake Cushman. Current evacuation information: https://www.facebook.com/masoncosheriff

Updates for both incidents will be communicated as notable events occur.

Status 9/12/2025 Update
The Black Rock Fire held steady overnight, remaining within established containment lines and
maintaining its footprint at 43,842 acres. Yesterday, crews worked to secure the final segments of containment
line and addressed lingering heat, primarily found in juniper throughout the landscape.

Today, firefighters will continue mop-up operations and focus on repairing areas affected by suppression efforts.
Although the fire is now 80% contained, smoke may remain visible from interior pockets for several days but is
expected to have minimal impact on containment. Crews will continue to monitor hot spots until the fire is fully
extinguished. Public safety and the protection of cultural and natural resources remain top priorities.

The Type 3 Incident Management Team has initiated a strategic downsizing of resources, while maintaining
sufficient personnel to oversee and manage the burn area in and around the Black Rock Fire. Tomorrow at 0600,
the team will transition operations back to local resources.

This will be the final update for the Black Rock Fire.

Weather: Cooler, drier temperatures are expected today with high temperatures ranging between 66-69 degrees.
Except partly cloudy skies in the morning with mostly sunny skies in the afternoon.

Evacuations: Residents are encouraged to stay informed and follow all directions from fire personnel in the area.
For the most up to date evacuation information and to receive emergency notifications visit ORAlert.gov.

Closures and Restrictions: BLM lands near the John Day River are closed. A formal closure order can be found on
Fire Restrictions - Oregon-Washington Bureau of Land Management. The Clarno Unit of John Day Fossil Beds are
now open. Central Oregon remains under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. For the latest road conditions and closures,

Status 9/13/2025 Update
This will be the final written update for the Bridge Fire unless significant activity occurs. For more information please visit the Malheur
National Forest Webpage or FaceBook page.

The recent weather system left only a limited risk of new fire activity, enabling crews to concentrate on extinguishing any smoldering
pockets, suppression repair, and addressing heavy fuels within the fire perimeter. The drier conditions provide safer footing and reduce the
risk of flash flooding, allowing firefighters to make steady progress.

Work continues on contingency lines, with significant attention on repairing roads in and around the Malheur National Forest. These efforts,
guided by local resource advisors, aim to restore safe public access and return the landscape as closely as possible to its pre-fire condition.

This will be the final written update for the Bridge Fire unless significant changes occur. Future updates and information will continue to be
shared on the Malheur National Forest’s official social media pages.

WEATHER:

Saturday will trend warmer, drier, with increasing clouds ahead of an approaching cold front early Sunday. By early Sunday, a cold front
along with precipitation will move into the area. Temperatures will drop during the day, with increasing winds through the afternoon along
with likely precipitation.

CLOSURES:

The Malheur National Forest has updated the area closure for the Bridge Fire on the Blue Mountain Ranger District. To protect public health
and safety, fire managers have closed the area around the fire due to fire activity and fire suppression operations.

This Forest Order, Malheur Bridge Fire Closure Area Update (06-04-01-25-17) will be effective September 10, 2025, and will remain in

Status 9/15/2025 Update
Clugston Onion Creek Road remains closed to the public. Fire traffic advisory signs are now in place; residents remaining in the area can
help firefighter safety by slowing down.
Northwest Team 12 will be transitioning command of the Crown Creek/Blackhawk Mountain and Katy Creek Fires to Northern Rockies
Team 6 as of 6 AM tomorrow morning. Northwest Team 12 would like to thank the Colville, Kettle Falls and Northport communities for their
hospitality and support of the firefighters and incident personnel.
Crown Creek/Blackhawk Mtn Fire: Size: 14,190 acres | Start Date: August 29, 2025 | Cause: Lightning | Containment: 30%
Rain and higher humidity moderated fire behavior yesterday and aided firefighters largely engaged in mop-up operations throughout all
portions of the fire. A helicopter flew to the northeastern portion of the fire to conduct aerial ignitions, but due to gusty winds and rain, the
ignitions were postponed. Crews continue to make progress in mop-up while securing firelines and adding depth towards containment.
Hazard tree removal is ongoing and crews are chipping woody debris.
Katy Creek Fire: Size: 3,895 acres | Start Date: August 30, 2025 | Cause: Lightning | Containment: 10%
Indirect firelines have been reinforced and fully plumbed with hose lays on the western portion of the fire in preparation for upcoming aerial
ignitions. Rainfall prevented these aerial firing operations yesterday but also helped to limit fire growth, especially where the fire has been
slowly creeping toward Deadman Creek. Firefighters patrolled the northwest corner of the fire where previous firing operations occurred. A
helicopter flew an aerial reconnaissance and detected a spot fire about a quarter of a mile outside of the main fire, which was quickly
extinguished by firefighters. Fire managers completed a structure protection plan to identify remaining work to improve defensibility of
structures. Along the eastern perimeter, crews continue to mop-up and secure the line to gain containment. Crews will also be mopping up
along the southern perimeter and chippers will continue processing woody debris. Firing operations via aerial ignitions are planned as soon
as conditions allow.
Weather and Smoke: Showers may linger through this morning, with higher pressure moving back into the area later today. Temperatures
should be in the upper 60s and lower 70s, with winds trending from the south. For smoke information visit the Washington Smoke Blog.
Evacuations: Residents should be prepared for changes in evacuation levels as fire conditions can rapidly change. Evacuations remain in
place in Ferry County due to the Katy Creek Fire and evacuations for the Crown Creek Fire in Stevens County can be found on their
interactive evacuation map. The American Red Cross Northwest Region shelter is set up at the American Legion Post 146 at 1057 US-395
Kettle Falls, WA.
Closures and Safety: There is a fire closure in place for the Katy Creek Fire. There is a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the Crown
Creek and Katy Creek Fire areas. Unauthorized drone activity is prohibited under the TFR, as firefighting helicopters and aircraft cannot fly
when drones are present.

Status 9/15/2025 Update

CURRENT STATUS: Recent rain has moderated fire behavior, giving crews the opportunity to go direct closer to the fire’s edge. While finer
fuels have absorbed moisture, heavy fuels are less receptive, and firefighters are monitoring conditions closely as warmer, drier weather
returns today. Chipping and removal of downed fuel along Davie Creek, Staley Creek, and the Middle Fork Willamette River continue to
strengthen primary control lines. Fire suppression efforts continue across divisions in heavily forest areas with steep terrain. The fire is
being fought with a full suppression strategy.
Communications play a vital role in keeping crews connected by providing situational awareness of fire behavior, weather, and operations
across the incident. To support firefighting efforts, the Communications Unit staff install equipment, operate the incident communications
center, and maintain and repair communications equipment on site.
We appreciate the public’s continued support. By respecting closures and avoiding active fire areas, you help firefighters work safely and
protect communities and natural resources.

WEATHER: Monday into Tuesday brings a significant warming and drying trend with low humidity expected. Wednesday and Thursday
brings the return of onshore flow bumping humidity and temperatures to more typical seasonal values.

Status 9/15/2025 Update
A community meeting is scheduled for tonight (Monday) September 15, 2025, at 6:30 PM in the “new” gym on McKenzie High School
campus. All are welcome to join Nevada Team 4 and Foley Ridge Fire Information for a presentation on suppression activities followed
by breakouts for questions.

The Foley Ridge Fire remained active overnight on Saturday, but the precipitation received on Sunday moderated fire behavior throughout
the day. With a warming trend in the forecast, fire activity is expected to increase again as the fuels dry out. In response,
incident management adjusted resource assignments to include both a swing shift and night operations. Unmanned Aircraft Systems
(UAS) equipped with infrared (IR) mapping technology have been deployed to more accurately assess fire perimeter and acreage. These
systems have detected multiple small spot fires within the established control lines. Air Operations will continue to utilize UAS as they
become available to the incident.

Ground crews continue to make steady progress constructing hand line from Foley Ridge Road to Forest Service Road 218. Structure
protection efforts are underway around Yale Camp and the Foley Seed Orchard. Mastication and other heavy equipment are being used
to strengthen containment lines along the eastern flank of the fire. The shaded fuel break along Highway 242 is well-established, and fire
operations are actively scouting opportunities to add depth to these indirect containment lines.

Closures- Road closures include Foley Ridge Road (Forest Service Road 2643), White Branch Youth Camp will remain open. Closed
recreation sites include Rainbow Falls Trailhead and Separation Lake Trailhead. Foley Ridge
Trailhead will be inaccessible due to the closure. For the complete Foley Ridge Fire closure order, including a map, visit our website
at??https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/willamette/alerts/foley-ridge-fire-closure-order.



Weather- Mostly sunny skies are forecast early this week. Temperatures are expected to rise with low relative humidity and moderate
terrain driven winds.



McKenzie River Highway (HWY 242)- Please be advised the highway will be reduced to one lane with a pilot car between the hours of 6:00
AM and 8:00 PM due to suppression activities along the corridor. Visit Oregon Department of Transportation's webpage

Status 9/15/2025 Update
All control lines remain strong on the Kelsey Peak Fire as firefighters continue to push into the perimeter, extinguishing hot spots to build
depth on the line. This work ultimately adds to overall containment, which has now reached 68%. The fire, located approximately 15 miles
west of Glendale, is still being held by resources at 1,039 acres. Rain was felt across the Kelsey Peak Fire early Sunday morning,
continuing intermittently into the early afternoon. Rain totals varied from a quarter to four-tenths of an inch on the fire. This small weather
system naturally aided resources during mop-up efforts but created slippery conditions on the steep slopes. Safety remains a top priority as
work continues on tough terrain with numerous hazards. Hazardous trees that threaten firefighter safety are still being removed near the
Kelsey Creek drainage on the east side of the fire. Firefighters also collected unneeded equipment in this area and brought it back to fire
camp to be readied for the next incident.

Today, firefighters will continue mopping up across the fire; on the western and northern portions of line, resources have built between 200
and 250 feet of depth inside the perimeter. This work is tedious, requiring firefighters to methodically grid through areas looking for signs of
heat or smoke. Smoldering vegetation can remain dormant until warm, windy weather causes it to flare up. With those exact conditions in
the forecast later this week, this work is critical to retain control of the fire and continue to move forward in extinguishing it. This upcoming
shift in the weather is predicted to bring warmer temperatures, winds and lower relative humidity, starting today and worsening Tuesday.
This combination can naturally fuel fire activity, and firefighters will be watching this week for any increase in fire behavior.

Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Complex Incident Management Team 1, assigned to the Kelsey Peak Fire since last Monday, is
coordinating with the Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team 5 on the Moon Complex, approximately eight miles to the west.
ODF Team 1 resources are re-opening old firelines used during past fires as contingency lines for the east flank of the Moon Complex and
mitigating fuels around structures in the Rogue River Ranch, Tucker Flats, and Marial areas to support Great Basin Team 5 objectives. For

Status 9/15/2025 Update
Efforts by firefighters continue to be made along the Beverly Creek corridor and the Teanaway road to reinforce structure protection and
values at risk on behalf of communities. Crews in this area are also working to clear woody debris and vegetation to reduce available fuel
and prevent the fire’s continued spread.

Firefighters will again be working along road 9703 to finish mopping up yesterday’s burnout operation in addition to reinforcing line near
Miller Creek to anchor the fire on the east end. Crews are completing brushing and mastication in the eastern area of the fire, clearing
roads near Shaser Creek for better access into the fire zone. As of today, these efforts have led to increased containment of 5% on the
Labor Mountain Fire.
Following much higher humidity and gusty, cool conditions yesterday, conditions will return to the trend of sunny, warm and dry days which
will likely be maintained throughout the rest of the week.
With the onset of High Hunt season, those planning hunting or camping excursions into the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest are
advised to be aware of area closures. Forest access roads are being utilized by fire crews and equipment completing suppression work,
and public cooperation is appreciated as crews continue firefighting efforts. Please drive carefully in fire-impacted areas. Before your trip,

Status 9/15/2025 Update
Yesterday, firefighters took advantage of precipitation and higher humidities to mop up and subdue fire activity. The fire perimeter is 11%
contained as the result of days long line construction, burning operations, and securing efforts.
Contained areas include southwest and eastern portions of the fire line. Crews continued to hold and secure the fire perimeter as northwest
winds and cooler weather conditions passed through the area, with precipitation across the southwestern fire area. Firefighters
strengthened fire lines by enhancing mop up operations further interior from the secured fire edge. Fire behavior remained most active near
Roaring Creek where firefighters constructed, held, and improved fire lines with assistance from helicopters. Crews and dozers continued to
prepare and construct fire lines along Gold Ridge to the north and Dinkelman Ridge and Forest Service Road 52 to the southeast. An
increased number of night shift resources patrolled and secured the fire edge overnight.

Today, firefighters will continue to improve and progress line construction on the fire perimeter with favorable wind and weather conditions
expected. If weather conditions are favorable, crews will resume burning operations along Forest Service Road 52 in the southeast to
strengthen previously constructed fire lines. Structure protection groups will continue working in the Entiat Valley and Chumstick Creek
corridor, and support firefighting efforts on the fire perimeter.

Evacuations: Chelan County Emergency Management has issued level 1 and 2 evacuation advisories and notices for parts of the fire area,
please see http://bit.ly/4n63ZZF or https://www.co.chelan.wa.us/emergency- management/pages/active-emergencies for the latest

Rattlesnake Fire: Firefighters are patrolling, working on mop up and repair actions. Light burning continues as needed along the northern
perimeter. Heavy fuels will continue to burn within the interior of the fire.

Lynx Mountain Fire: As conditions allow firefighters in the northwestern section of the fire will be conducting a slow strategic burn. The
purpose is to eliminate fuels to prevent uncontrolled fire through the area. A dozer line will be built in the
southwestern section of the fire north of Bridge Creek Road to increase public and firefighter safety as they work off the Bridge Creek Road,
as well as to protect structures to the south. The eastern section of the fire is in mop-up and patrol status. There
was a small spot fire to the north of Lynx Creek, but it was quickly mopped up and the area will be patrolled.

Weather & Fire Behavior: Light showers will end Monday morning with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Even with higher
humidities and light precipitation, the fire will remain active, with flare ups and occasional torching of isolated trees,
and potential short runs. Heavy fuels in the interior of the fires will continue to smolder.

Smoke Outlook: While air quality has improved over the last few days, some areas may have thick patches of smoke. Know your risk to
wildfire smoke and plan to reduce exposure. For current smoke reports visit

transitioning management of the fire to a local Type 4 team at 7:00AM tomorrow morning. The incoming team will continue working
toward
the same objectives of completing mop up and containment and working on suppression repair.

Overnight, crews worked on mopping up and gridding for any remaining hot spots along the fire line. Using handheld infrared cameras
the
crews did find a few remaining hot spots on the southwest side of the fire. Crews during the day will clean those up.

Crews will inspect previously mopped up areas of the line to ensure there are no remaining hot spots. They will also be pulling
remaining
equipment and hose from the line to ensure it is cleaned up before transfer of command to the Type 4 team. Suppression repair will
continue today and be carried forward by the incoming team.

With work winding down around the fire, crews will be returning home. Please be aware of increased traffic and drive with caution and
slow
down in the fire area to ensure firefighter and public safety.

The ODF Incident Management Team sincerely thanks all cooperating agencies and the public for their support throughout this
response.
We are especially grateful to the local community. Their support played a vital role in our success.

Status 9/15/2025 Update
Weather: Yesterday, rainfall amounts ranged between 0.2 to 0.4 inches over the active fire area. Very high relative humidity and drizzle
persisted throughout the morning before partial clearing in the afternoon. Humidity remained elevated, around 80% in higher terrain and
50% in the Rogue River Valley. Today there will be a rapid change in weather due to a quick-building thermal trough over the Pacific Coast.
Clear skies are expected, allowing temperatures to reach the upper 80s and minimum relative humidity values to drop into the upper teens
by tomorrow afternoon.

Situation: Cooler temperatures and high relative humidity recovery overnight will limit fire spread today. However, offshore northeast winds
will cause rapid drying of fuels. Ridgetops will start drying early this morning, with dry air quickly reaching valley floors as the surface
inversion breaks. Firefighters will continue to strengthen existing firelines and establish new lines, improve old roads and trails, and
maintain structure protection measures around lodges and residences. Resource Advisors (READs) are working closely with firefighters to
ensure that considerations for wilderness and river values are incorporated into trail work and line construction.

Backbone Fire – The Backbone Fire is 1,830 acres. With the cloudy conditions yesterday, only Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) were able
to fly. The UAS collected information about areas of heat within the fire perimeter, assisting firefighters with direct engagement locations.
Crews continued removing hazard trees from the Clay Hill Trail from Panther Ridge to the 5520 Road and started clearing for a new
helispot location near the trail. Today, crews are working to complete structure protection for Wild River Lodge in the Slide Creek area.

Pinnacle Fire – The Pinnacle Fire is 2,108 acres. Today, firefighters will continue to work on containing and stopping fire spread to the south
and west. Crews will construct handline from the end of the 713 Road down to the river and monitor direct line on East Creek. Crews will
continue construction of direct line west of the 127 Road, following the ridge along the wilderness boundary. A hotshot crew will be deployed
on the eastern flank of the fire to begin constructing direct lines.

Tate Fire – The Tate Fire is 26 acres and has been contained. Crews will remain in the area to patrol and monitor the fire and watch for any
changes in fire behavior in the interior of the burned area.
Safety Message: Fire activity can drastically alter the river environment. Mitigation measures may be in place. It’s an evolving situation and
updates will be shared as soon as possible. Permitted boaters can contact the BLM Smullin Visitor Center at 541-618-2408 or
BLM_OR_MD_Rogue_River_Mail@blm.gov with questions about the status of the river.

Evacuations: An evacuation order remains in place for the Paradise and Half-Moon Lodge areas. Please visit the interactive evacuation
map: https://protect.genasys.com/search.

Closures: There are emergency road, trail and area closures in place for the Moon Complex and the nearby Kelsey Peak Fire. Please visit:

Status 9/14/2025 Update
This will be the last update unless fire conditions change.
Minimal fire behavior continues on the Perry Fire. A cold front with rain and cooler temperatures is expected across the area today. A warm
and drying trend will return on Monday and Tuesday, then cool and wet weather is expected mid-week. Fire behavior is expected to
decrease with cooler temperatures and wet weather. This will be the last update unless fire conditions change.

The Perry Fire is 1,763 acres and 30% contained. Due to incoming weather, firefighters have been repositioned from the spike camp on
Ross Lake to preposition for initial attack and continued operations. A Type-3 helicopter will provide aerial delivered water operations and
firefighter support as conditions and visibility safely allow. Visit Inciweb for up-to-date information on the Perry Fire.

The Arctic Fire is approx. ½ acre. Following aerial delivered water from the Type-1 KMAX helicopter, no smoke has been seen since Friday.
Firefighters mopped up the edges of the Neve Fire; the fire is now contained. A fire is considered contained and controlled when a control
line has been completed around the fire, including all spot fires, and the control line can reasonably be expected to stop the fire’s spread.
Both fires continue to be monitored.

Area, trail, and camp closures remain in effect. Visitors should check the park Fire Closures page prior to a visit for up-to-date trail and
camp closure information. Closures are in place to protect the public.

Fire restrictions remain in effect in all areas of the park complex. Campfires are banned in all portions of North Cascades National Park
Service Complex – North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake National Recreation Area, and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. This
includes all National Park Service lands and campgrounds along State Route 20 as well as Hozomeen and the entire Stehekin Valley.

Status 9/15/2025 Update
Rattlesnake Fire: Firefighters are patrolling, working on mop up and repair actions. Light burning continues as needed along the northern
perimeter. Heavy fuels will continue to burn within the interior of the fire.

Lynx Mountain Fire: As conditions allow firefighters in the northwestern section of the fire will be conducting a slow strategic burn. The
purpose is to eliminate fuels to prevent uncontrolled fire through the area. A dozer line will be built in the
southwestern section of the fire north of Bridge Creek Road to increase public and firefighter safety as they work off the Bridge Creek Road,
as well as to protect structures to the south. The eastern section of the fire is in mop-up and patrol status. There
was a small spot fire to the north of Lynx Creek, but it was quickly mopped up and the area will be patrolled.

Weather & Fire Behavior: Light showers will end Monday morning with a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon. Even with higher
humidities and light precipitation, the fire will remain active, with flare ups and occasional torching of isolated trees,
and potential short runs. Heavy fuels in the interior of the fires will continue to smolder.

Smoke Outlook: While air quality has improved over the last few days, some areas may have thick patches of smoke. Know your risk to
wildfire smoke and plan to reduce exposure. For current smoke reports visit

Status 9/15/2025 Update
Current Situation: Yesterday, the fire received a light amount of precipitation. While rain is helpful, the accumulation did little to suppress the
fire. Crews will continue to take advantage of these favorable conditions, focusing on direct attack. The northeast edge of the fire gained
additional containment; with this change resources are being reallocated to higher priority areas on the fire. The southwest edge remains a
priority; crews are mopping up spot fires and engaging the fire directly. Suppression repair will be ongoing and will mitigate impacts on the
landscape resulting from fire suppression actions.

Weather and Fire Behavior: Yesterday the fire area received scattered showers from mid-morning to mid-afternoon with accumulations
ranging from 0.03 to 0.1 of an inch. Today, temperatures will be in the low 60’s over the fire area with a slight chance of showers in the
morning. While conditions have been cool and wet over the weekend, they will shift back to drier and warmer conditions as the week goes
on.

Evacuations and Closures: Tacoma Creek Road is closed and cannot be accessed from the north off Highway 20. From the south, Tacoma
Creek Road is open to the junction with Calicoma Road. Batey Bould trail is not passable as it travels north to the Tacoma Creek Road.
There are closures along Ruby Creek Road, Cusick Creek Road and Olson Creek Road. The Blacktail Mountain Road is open until mile
marker 7 but closed thereafter. Additionally, the Radar Dome trailhead is closed, however the trail remains open. Sign up for Pend Oreille

Status 9/15/2025 Update
OLYMPIA, Wash., – Fire management officials continue to respond to the Tunnel Creek and Bear Gulch Fires on the east side of the
Olympic National Forest.

Weather conditions, conducive to fire growth and smoke production, including dry easterly winds and lower relative humidity are expected
to arrive this evening. Residents and visitors may notice an increase in smoke, especially near the Lake Cushman and Hood Canal area.
The winds are forecast to subside by Tuesday evening.

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.

Tunnel Creek Fire:

Size: 290 acres
Cause: Lightning
Containment:0%
On Sunday, the fire area received less than two-tenths of an inch of rain, moderating fire behavior in the short term. The fire continues to
burn in a remote area of the Buckhorn Wilderness with very steep terrain. Firefighters continue to assess the feasibility of using aircraft for
effective and successful suppression activities.

Bear Gulch Fire:

Size: 10843 acres
Cause: Human
Containment:9%
On Sunday, the fire area received less than one-tenth of an inch of rain, moderating fire behavior in the short term. The fire continues to be
active in the No-name drainage area. Aviation resources remain on standby to support fire suppression and structure protection efforts as
needed in areas adjacent to Lake Cushman and within Olympic National Park.

Evacuation Levels: Homes in the area near Dry Creek Trail are in a Level 3 “GO” evacuation. This includes the Staircase Campground and
areas across the causeway on the north side of Lake Cushman. Current evacuation information: https://www.facebook.com/masoncosheriff

Status 9/15/2025 Update

Today, the Southeast Washington Type 3 Interagency Incident Management Team 1 will spend the day shadowing their counterparts on
Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 (NW Team 10) to ensure a seamless transition. The incoming team will assume
command tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. and is composed of highly experienced and trained professionals who specialize in managing incidents of
this scale. The members of NW Team 10 extend their appreciation to the local residents, business owners and visitors for their support
during this incident.
Current situation: Yesterday, cooler temperatures and increased relative humidity moderated fire behavior. This allowed firefighters to mop-
up deeper into the fire, extinguishing hot spots and protecting identified values at risk by strengthening control lines along Bumping Lake.
Crews with the assistance of heavy equipment removed woody debris along Bumping River Road. Night shift personnel continued to
extend the structure protection efforts implemented by day shift crews. Mechanical issues prevented last night’s infrared flight, so no data
was available to provide updated acreage.
Today, crews are monitoring fire behavior on the ridgeline above Bumping Lake as the fire continues to back downslope. Firefighters will
continue improving the efficiency of installed sprinklers and hose lays to ensure surrounding vegetation is less receptive to ignition. With the
use of heavy equipment, crews are chipping woody debris and returning it to the forest floor. Aerial resources will support both local and
regional suppression efforts as needed.
Weather and Fire Behavior: Today there will be mostly sunny skies with wind gusts up to 12 mph. Warm and dry conditions will persist
through the middle of the week. There is a slight chance of showers later in the week as moisture moves in from the south.
Evacuations: Yakima County has declared a LEVEL 2 – GET SET evacuation level for Goose Prairie and Bumping River Road. To sign-up
for Yakima County alerts, go to https://yakimacounty.us/350/Emergency-Management.
Closures: State Route (SR) 410 remains open. However, due to ongoing fire activity, both the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and
Mount Rainier National Park have closures in place, including a section of the Pacific Crest Trail #2000 from the intersection of Bumping
Lake Trail #971 to the Chinook Pass Trailhead at SR 410. The Bumping River Road is closed at the junction with SR 410, though it remains
open to residents of Goose Prairie. A map and information are available at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/okanogan-wenatchee/alerts/wildcat-
fire-closure-naches-ranger-district-updated-sept-5-2025. Access on SR 123 in the National Park between Cayuse and Stevens Canyon
Road is temporarily prohibited to protect public health and safety. Information for National Park alerts is available at
