Washington and oregon fire map10/15/2023 ![]() Want to just, again, express deep respect, admiration for all of our front-line folks out there doing the hand crew work, doing the work on making sure we’re dozing, creating these breaks. The good news is there’s weather starting to appear offshore that will create an environment where we may get a little bit of precipitation - a modest amount of precipitation. The good news is the winds have settled down. Thirty-nine hundred-plus structures have been destroyed. We anticipate that number may potentially go up as we get back into areas that have been ravaged by flame, and obviously smoke begins to clear. Nineteen people have lost their lives in these fires. We have now - currently have - five active fires that are five of the most destructive fires over the last, in the history of the state, five of the 20 most destructive that are currently being suppressed, which is just remarkable when you consider that we just came out August, the hottest in recorded history. Gavin Newsom of California surveyed wildfire damage and delivered an update on the state’s efforts to curb the fire’s spread.

Drivers should maintain safe speeds and watch for increased fire traffic. The Upper North Fork Siuslaw Road is open for travel. Several popular Forest Roads remain partially closed including Forest Road 58 and Forest Road 1057. There are 88 people assigned to the fire including two crews, one engine, three water tenders, and thirteen pieces of heavy equipment. Firefighters continue to reinforce the fuel break around the Herman Peak communication site. ![]() ![]() The indirect fireline is complete except for a section on the southeast side near the intersection of Forest Road 712 and Forest Road 673. This work includes putting out burning stumps, cooling ash-pits, and walking the ground repeatedly to ‘cold trail’ by hand. In addition to ground-truthing the fire perimeter, crews have been working hard within the direct fire area to secure the perimeter. This new mapping was conducted by firefighters walking the entire perimeter of the fire, where safe to do so, while the previous total acreage was calculated by a combination of walked fireline and helicopter reconnaissance by air. Due to more accurate mapping, the fire size has decreased to 117 acres. ![]() Contact: Joanie Action on Three Buttes Fire Increases Containmentįlorence, OR-September 14, 2023: Direct action on the Three Buttes Fire continues as containment has risen to 26%. ![]()
