Fire

The Anvil Fire is still 22,170 acres while containment rose to 60%. The Flat Fire also holds at 34,242 acres with 93% containment. Fire behavior was muted yesterday but still there are isolated smoldering dead logs and stumps within the edges of the current perimeter. Moderate burning conditions will not cause the fire to grow today nor over the next few days with rain expected.

Smoke

The air quality should continue to be in the GOOD range across south coastal Oregon today. Smoke production has diminished noticeably and so should not impact the air quality nor visibility on the roads and highways.

Incéndio

El incendio Anvil aún abarca 22,170 acres mientras que su contención aumentó al 60%. El incendio Flat también se mantiene en 34,242 acres con un 93% de contención. Ayer el comportamiento del fuego fue moderado, pero aún hay troncos y tocones muertos aislados que arden lentamente dentro de los límites del perímetro actual. Las condiciones de quema moderada no harán que el fuego crezca hoy ni en los próximos días, ya que se esperan lluvias.

Humo

Hoy la calidad del aire debería seguir siendo BUENA en toda la costa sur de Oregón. La producción de humo ha disminuido notablemente y, por lo tanto, no debería afectar la calidad del aire ni la visibilidad en las carreteras y autopistas.

Incéndio

El Incendio Anvil todavía tiene 22,170 acres y está contenido en un 54%. El Incendio Flat también se mantiene en 34,242 acres con un 93% de contención. El comportamiento del fuego aumentó un poco ayer, pero principalmente en troncos y tocones muertos aislados dentro de los límites del perímetro actual. También hubo un fuego controlado a unas pocas millas al este de Bandon. Los vientos más suaves y frescos, al igual que una mayor cobertura de nubes, no humedecerán los fuegos que arden lentamente hoy.

Humo

La calidad del aire debería seguir siendo BUENA en la costa sur de Oregón. El único lugar que probablemente verá humo es el drenaje del río Elk desde el criadero de peces hasta la carretera 101, pero la visibilidad en la carretera debería estar libre de humo. La producción de humo será aproximadamente la misma que vimos ayer debido a la quema aislada de troncos y tocones.

Fire

The Anvil Fire is still 22,170 acres and 54% contained. The Flat Fire also holds at 34,242 acres with 93% containment. Fire behavior picked up a little yesterday but mainly in isolated dead logs and stumps within the edges of the current perimeter. There was also a prescribed fire a few miles east of Bandon. Cooler light winds and increased cloud cover will not dampen the smoldering fires today.

Smoke

The air quality should continue to be in the GOOD range across south coastal Oregon. The only place that will probably be smokey is the Elk River drainage from the fish hatchery to highway 101, but visibility on the road should be clear of smoke. Smoke production will be about what we saw yesterday from the isolated burning logs and stumps.

Fire

The Anvil Fire is still 22,170 acres and 54% contained. The Flat Fire also holds at 34,242 acres with 93% containment. Fire behavior picked up a little yesterday but mainly in isolated dead logs and stumps within the edges of the current perimeter. Dry warm air but low winds from the south southwest today may allow the smoldering to increase.

Smoke

The air quality in the forecast area should continue to be in the GOOD range across south coastal Oregon. Visibility on the highways should be clear of smoke from the fires. Smoke production will likely increase as it did yesterday from the isolated burning logs and stumps, and the winds may carry it into Powers this afternoon. Locations along Elk River will be free of smoke from the fire.

Incéndio

El incendio Anvil todavía abarca 22,170 acres y está contenido en un 54%. El incendio Flat también se mantiene en 34,242 acres con un 93% de contención. Ayer hubo un poco de actividad del fuego, pero principalmente en troncos muertos y tocones aislados dentro de los límites del perímetro actual. El aire seco y cálido, pero con vientos bajos del suroeste hoy, puede permitir que el humo aumente.

Humo

La calidad del aire en el área pronosticada debería seguir siendo BUENA en la costa sur de Oregón. La visibilidad en las carreteras debería estar libre de humo de los incendios. Es probable que la producción de humo aumente, al igual que ayer, debido a la quema aislada de troncos y tocones, y los vientos podrían llevarlo a Powers esta tarde. Las ubicaciones a lo largo del río Elk estarán libres de humo del incendio.
