Today, aviation resources will be dropping retardant to pretreat line for strategic ignitions around the northeastern corner of the Gales-Ninemile Fire, while hand crews and heavy equipment continue line prep on the east and west flanks. “We’ll be building on the investments made by Pacific Northwest Team 3 with indirect line construction, improving those lines through firing operations where appropriate and necessary, and looking for opportunities to go more directly at the fire’s edge when it is safe to do so,” Gales continued. Some interior burning could continue into the winter before it is fully extinguished.
Long-duration fires are well established in heavy fuels and rugged terrain that will continue to burn until the area receives significant precipitation in the form of autumn rain – called a season-ending event. “This is going to be a long-duration fire on the landscape,” said Incident Commander Brian Gales with Northwest Incident Management Team 13, which took over the suppression effort today. The complex of fires, nine miles north of Oakridge, were sparked by lightning on July 27, and the 549 personnel have the group of blazes 10% contained. – Firefighters will be building and reinforcing primary, alternate and contingency lines around the Middle Fork Complex for some time, using strategic ignitions where appropriate.
