  1. Monsoonal moisture is moving into the #HaydenFire area. Not sure if any is hitting the ground yet, but ITD road cams to the south show actual widespread rain hitting the ground -- very rare for us in August. The increased humidity and (hopefully) rain should result in lower fire activity and give fire crews a chance to improve the completion of their confine & contain objectives.

  2. EVACUATION NOTICE #HaydenFire

    **Zone 1 is now GO**
    Zone 2 is now SET
    Zone 3 remains SET

    The Baptist Church in Salmon is the shelter. If you need assistance or need help placing animals, call either of the Shelter contacts listed in the notice. They're good people; they've worked in natural disasters all over the world. They'll do everything they can to help you. And yes, now that you mention it, their last names are the same as mine... weird that ;)

  3. **EVACUATION NOTICE**

    #HaydenFire "GO" evacuation notices are being sent. I don't have full details yet, but I suspect zone 1 (and maybe zone 3) based on satellite imagery I'm seeing this afternoon. .

    The shelter (Salmon Valley Baptist Church in Salmon) remains on standby to assist.

    If you get the notice, please take it seriously.

    I'll update once I know full extent of evacuation area.

  4. *EVACUATION UPDATE*

    The #evacuation shelter (the Baptist church) in Salmon has just been informed that the #HaydenFire is half a mile from triggering a "GO" evacuation order.

    If you get that call, go. I've been on enough fire lines to know you don't want to try to save your property from an approaching fire in red-flag wind-driven conditions.

  5. Some Fuels context for what we're seeing right now across the central and southern part of the state from the Great Basin Coordination Center's evening summary.

  6. #EVACUATION STATUS
    for #HaydenFire

    Zone 1 & 3 are now in "SET" status (in the READY-SET-GO system).

    Please be prepared to evacuate; the Baptist Church in Salmon is on Standby as the Shelter.

    Please note that the fire perimeter on this evacuation zone map is (very) old.

    If you're in Zone 1, like seriously y'all... be ready to leave at a moment's notice.

  7. #HaydenFire Update:

    **Salmon Valley Baptist Church was notified moments ago to be on standby for potential activation as the #evacuation shelter for the #fire**

    If you do get an evacuation notice or are told to be READY (Lemhi County typically uses READY-SET-GO) please listen to it.

    Don't hesitate to call the shelter contact if you have questions or need help, this ain't their first rodeo. I know in past fires they've helped coordinate livestock placement as well. #IDwx #IDfire #Wildfire

  8. *SIGNIFICANT UPDATE*

    #HaydenFire:

    Fire is now estimated at 14,890 acres based on a perimeter *estimate* just uploaded.

    This new perimeter confirms the VIIRS detections we were seeing at 3 am and matches the photos I geo-referenced this morning.

    The wind event yesterday caused a 3-4 mile run adding 8,000-10,000 acres late yesterday.

    Will need an IR flight for a more accurate size/map.

    Some thoughts in the thread:

  9. Ok y'all...

    #HaydenFire

    I've independently geo-referenced a photo of the fire from an hour ago. The photo shows trees torching in the head of Bates Gulch. This matches what I'm seeing on VIIRS satellite detections. The flame I geo-located puts the eastern flank of the fire 4.25 MILES from the most recent official perimeter and 2-3ish miles from this morning's ops map guesstimate.

    This would be a VERY significant run overnight. And greatly complicates management #Fire

  10. The IR mapping aircraft #N350SM is inbound #HaydenFire right now. I'm hoping for a nice clean run as they were unable to map last night due to weather and I know the fire had significant growth today including some containment lines being crossed. Though it's unclear which... I'm guessing an updated map will put us at roughly double the size currently being reported. I expect the #fire has not left my original threat area I drew a few days ago. We'll see. #IDwx #IDFire #Wildfire

  11. #HaydenFire now estimated at 3,633 for a growth of about 500 acres yesterday. Nothing all that interesting on IR map compared to yesterday. Only thing of note on the Ops map this morning is the proposed dozer line I mentioned last night (pictured below) -- it's exactly where I had in the map I created last night. No other lines or anything really on the ops map.

  12. And here are a couple of topo maps I made for the #HaydenFire.

    I'm primarily concerned about growth to the East towards Mill Mountain. I suspect the fire will also finish burning the canyon up to May Mountain. I'm less concerned about growth towards May in the Pahsimeroi or towards the Lemhi River.

    Looking at fuel moisture and predicted fire weather over the next week, I think there is a half-decent chance of keeping this fire pinned in this general area.

  13. Good morning #HaydenFire, Still waiting on some updated reports, but we have IR data from last night's flight. It was cloudy, but the data looks fairly clean overall.

    Here's a west(ish) facing 3D projection I made with the Pahsimeroi valley in the background. IR Mapped the #fire at 3,026 acres which is ~500 acres less than the official estimate yesterday afternoon.
