Relative humidity will be low but less critically dry through Friday. The weekend will bring a chance of thunderstorms with dry lightning and gusty outflows.

Yesterday, the Baker County Sheriff’s Office changed evacuation levels throughout the county. Most notably, evacuation levels for Huntington, portions of Rye Valley and Pleasant Valley have been removed.

Multiple areas have been reduced to a Level 2 (BE SET) or are no longer under evacuation levels. They ask the public to continue to be vigilant. Weather patterns and fire activity may lead to an increase in evacuation levels.

They will also continue removing excess structure protection equipment. Air operations are planned for reconnaissance and for bucket work on the fire’s north end.

Weather and Fire Behavior: The fire area experienced an excellent night of humidity recovery with relative humidities in the 60-80% range. Minimum humidity today will be around 30%. The sunny day could dry out fine fuels, but fire behavior is expected to be low again today. Winds will be light and variable with no gusts over 15 mph expected. Temperatures will gradually climb this week though smoke in the area could reduce temperatures by 2-5 degrees.

Across all areas of the fire, firefighters patrolled and mopped up any detected heat. Yesterday, aviation supported the nearby Badlands Complex and Falls Fire.

Today, firefighters will continue to focus on patrolling and securing containment lines, mopping up hot spots and cold trailing. Although it is not showing on satellite data, the night shift reported some heat well inside control lines on the northwest part of the fire. With drier conditions expected, they will focus on locations where yesterday’s higher humidity could have hidden heat from satellite images such as under junipers and in riparian areas.

On the fire’s north side, firefighters constructed the last needed piece of control line to secure the area and reduce the need for future strategic firing operations. They also found an old roadbed that will allow engine access to mop up and secure that area if needed in the future. Crews made progress on the mastication project to create a secondary fuel break. In the Shirttail area firefighters continued the process of cold trailing lines to secure them. This involves feeling by hand to make sure no heat remains in burned materials. Crews also continued removing excess structure protection equipment where it is no longer needed.

Current Situation: Please be mindful of firefighters, equipment and vehicles in the area. As evacuation levels are lowered, more traffic will be on the roads. We ask people in the community to drive carefully and allow our crews and other resources to work safely. The reported increase in acres on the fire is due to more accurate mapping as firefighters ground truth containment lines.

Firefighters accomplished a lot of work yesterday thanks to higher humidity and lighter winds keeping fire behavior to a minimum.

Current Situation: Please be mindful of firefighters, equipment and vehicles in the area. As evacuation levels are lowered, more traffic will be on the roads. We ask people in the community to drive carefully and allow our crews and other resources to work safely. The reported increase in acres on the fire is due to more accurate mapping as firefighters ground truth containment lines.

Firefighters accomplished a lot of work yesterday thanks to higher humidity and lighter winds keeping fire behavior to a minimum.

Yesterday afternoon, a cold front with a small amount of rain moved into the area. After considering the weather conditions and level of fire activity, changes have been made to the evacuation levels throughout Baker County.

Multiple areas have been reduced to a Level 2 (BE SET) or are no longer under any evacuation level.

Most notably, evacuation levels for Huntington, portions of Rye Valley and Pleasant Valley have been removed.

We ask the public to continue to be vigilant. Weather patterns and fire activity may lead to an increase in evacuation levels. Continue to check this page for updates...

Today, firefighters will seek out opportunities to resume strategic firing operations on the fire’s north side if weather permits. If not, they will work to finish direct line there and continue cleaning up lines, especially near steep hillsides where rolling logs could threaten containment. Near Bridgeport firefighters will finish ground truthing the line to ensure it will hold. They will also repair the dozer line. Crews will continue patrolling and mopping up the remaining heat throughout the fire area to strengthen containment lines.

…however, those same conditions allowed firefighters to engage directly with the fire in this area. Firefighters mopped up hot spots near Deep Canyon, Bridgeport, Lime and the I-84 corridor and in other areas of the fire. They patrolled control lines in the Shirttail area to ensure they were cold and removed some structure protection equipment there. Crews started a mastication project along Road 11 to create a secondary fuel break on the north side of the fire based on local specifications and engagement with resource advisors and archaeologists.

The reported increase in acres on the fire is due to more accurate mapping. Although yesterday’s rain was beneficial, it was not enough to extinguish heat on the fire. On the fire’s north side, firefighters patrolled and mopped up areas where strategic firing operations took place the previous day.

They received support from helicopters that performed bucket drops and an uncrewed aircraft system (UAS or drone) to identify heat sources. Strategic firing operations in Dark Canyon proved difficult due to the weather…
