Single Incident Information

Branch VI (east side of the Fire)

DIV PP: Develop and implement a plan to protect values at risk utilizing point protection, indirect, and direct tactics. Keep fire from impacting Bradley Scout Camp, Cape Horn Ranch, Cape Horn Guard Station, timber sale stands, and secure travel along Hwy 21 from Boy Scout Camp to the communities of Lower Stanley and Stanley. Continue to secure and mop-up from previous firing actions to secure slop over north of Valley Creek Spike on the east of Hwy 21 along FR 290, 293 and 203. Continue to prep Hwy 21 corridor and assess and identify areas where check-lines can be constructed to moderate fire spread to keep it within the area between the Hwy 21 bend (Cape Horn).

Night DIV PP: Assist with point protection along Hwy 21 corridor. Continue to secure the perimeter of the slop over north of Valley Creek Spike, using firing actions as needed and conditions allow.  

DIV KK: Continue to mop-up to prevent loss or damage to private property and structures around Hwy 21 corridor and communities of Homestead, Crooked Creek, and Iron Creek. Implement strategic firing operations from the intersection of Hwy 21 and Iron Creek to protect the communities of Iron Creek, if necessary.

Structure East: Continue to complete structure triage and structure prep along the Hwy 75 and Hwy 21 corridors from the fish hatchery north to the Boy Scout Camp. Continue to assess and implement structure protection in Lower Stanley and along Hwy 75 corridor towards Casino Creek and Stanley Ranger District compound.

DIV HH: Continue to improve indirect handline around Goat Falls, Stanley communities, and Stanley Ranger District to keep fire from impacting these areas. Continue to construct primary indirect hand line and dozer line from Iron Creek/Goat Falls utilizing the Bench Lake fire fire scar as an anchor point. Be prepared to implement strategic firing operations and fire behavior dictates and conditions allow.

Night KK & HH: Assist with point protection along Hwy 21 corridor.

DIV DD: Continue to improve indirect handline between the Stanley Ranger District Compound and Red Fish Complex. Continue to implement line construction south along FR 210, utilizing heavy equipment to improve the existing fuel break and moving south of the fish hatchery. Continue to complete structure triage and prep along the Hwy 75 corridor.

Branch IV (west and south sides of the Fire)

DIV WW: Continue prepping off the River Road north of Hwy 21 to Ten Mile Ridge.  Continue to secure line adjacent to firing operations that occurred around the Warm Springs Airport. Monitor fire spread as it backs to the Hwy 21 corridor, implementing firing actions as needed.

Structure West: Continue to prep structures as necessary and improve line construction around the communities of Ten Ax, Two Ravens, Seven Peaks, and Sourdough. Construct indirect line in conjunction with READ consultation north of Hwy 21 in the Sourdough area. Mop-up and monitor Wapiti Summer Homes, Sawtooth Lodge, Bear Camp, Middle Homes and Hanging Valley. Scouting structures north and south along Hwy 21.

Night WW: Assist with point protection in DIV MM, DIV WW and along Hwy 21 corridor from Warm Springs to Bull Trout Lake.

DIV MM:  Patrol, mop-up, and monitor area following ignitions that secured Bull Trout Lake and campground north to Hwy 21. Continue to construct and improve control lines from Martin Lake west to the County Line Fire scar. Continue to monitor fire progression west of Copper Mountain to the Hwy 21 corridor. Prepare and plan for strategic firing operations, which will serve to protect values both east and west of Hwy 21.

Night MM: Patrol around Bull Trout Lake and campground up to the Boy Scout Camp. Monitor fire activity west of Copper Mountain. Consider the need for firing operations as fire behavior dictates.  

DIV VV:  Currently unstaffed.

12 hours: A Red Flag Warning persists until 10 p.m. Monday. Several thresholds for large fire growth will be met. Very warm temperatures, low relative humidity, dry fuels, and gusty winds will remain as concerns.  Fire is likely to be very resistant to control because of the very dry environment and unstable atmosphere. Solar radiation will be increasing. ERCs are above the 90th percentile and on an upward trend. Five nights in a row of little to no overnight humidity recovery will lead to all fuels, at all elevations, and on all aspects to be receptive and available to support fire spread. Strong gusty wind producing intense surface fire with long flame lengths, high rates of spread, and long-range spotting are likely to occur. Complex steep terrain, falling snags, and rolling debris will contribute to fire spread.  Growth will threaten incident-identified values of risk including communities, infrastructure, residential structures, and threatened and endangered species.

24 hours: It will be mostly sunny, with warm temperatures, low humidity, no nighttime recovery will align to create conditions for high intensity, extreme fire behavior of running surface fire, crown fire, and long-range spotting. Near critical fire weather conditions that meet local thresholds for large fire growth and high resistance to control are in play. All fuels on all elevations and all aspects are receptive and available to support fire spread. The unstable atmosphere will allow vertical lift and the potential for plume-dominated fire behavior. Complex steep terrain, falling snags, and rolling debris will contribute to fire spread.  Growth will threaten incident-identified values of risk including communities, infrastructure, residential structures, and threatened and endangered species.

Hwy 21 from Stanley to Lohman is closed on the west side at mile marker 84, just east of the turnoff to Road 531 to Ten Ax. On the east side Hwy 21 is closed just west of Stanley at mile marker 130.  More information is available online at Idaho 511.

FS Road 633 west of Lower Stanley is closed.

The Boise, Salmon/Challis and Sawtooth National Forests are coordinating with the Incident Management Team (IMT) and multiple cooperators to develop additional necessary closure orders while considering important access needs.

Breathing masks are available at the Stanley Community Center.

A Cooperators Meeting is being held daily at the Stanley Community Center.  On the west side of the fire, cooperators may participate remotely at the Lowman Ranger Station.

Red Cross is set up in Challis, Idaho, 59 miles northeast of Stanley.

Planned dozer lines are being surveyed for potential impacts to cultural resources prior to line construction by operations personnel in conjunction with Resource Advisors.
