| Fuels Involved | Brush (2 feet) Timber (Grass and Understory) Light Logging Slash The primary carrier of the fire in the Cascade Creek and Cougar Creek Fires is dead and downed woody material. Brush and grass in the fire scar is too green to carry fire. The primary carrier of the fire outside of the fire scar is down and dead woody material, needle litter, and sparse brush. Surface winds in the fire scars or relative humidity below 40% is required to produce active fire progression. |
| Significant Events | Moderate Backing Flanking Group Torching The West side of the fire has minimal fire behavior. Due to lower relative humidity (RH) on the east side, the fire is more active burning in unburned pockets and to the north. |
| Planned Actions |
Completion of control lines and continued mop-up in current hotspots. Contingency implementation continues. Continue prep work on the South Climb Trail. |

| Projected Incident Activity |
12 Hours: Areas where fire line is indirect will continue to creep and smolder. Some interior pockets will continue to burn and clean up all within established control lines. 24 Hours: Cooler temps and slightly higher relative humidity (RH) are expected Tuesday, giving some relief to fire growth and continuing to see smoke due to heavier fuels continuing to burn. 48 Hours: Wednesday, fire continues to move toward the Northeast approaching the Yakama Nation lands. South Climb Trail is the last holding feature. If fire crosses there is a high potential for the fire to cross the jurisdictional boundary. 72 Hours: Fire continues to move toward the Northeast approaching the Yakama Nation lands. South Climb Trail is the last holding feature. If fire crosses there is a high potential for the fire to cross the jurisdictional boundary. Anticipated after 72 hours: Increase in fire activity on northeast areas of the fire, with creeping, backing and smoldering. |
| Weather Concerns | The increased offshore flow will continue through Tuesday night. Conditions Tuesday morning will be similar to what was observed on Monday morning with slightly higher humidities. Broken cloud cover will give way to sunshine for the reminder of the day allowing temps to warm and relative humidity (RH) to fall as low as 35 percent, max temp will be around 69, northwest winds 8-12 with gust up to 20 mph. |
