#MuckamuckFire Update
August 15, 2021
Fire Information: (509) 202-4184
Email: 2021.muckamuck@firenet.gov
Current Situation: Building on the completion of the initial line around the perimeter of the Muckamuck Fire the previous day, crews were able to focus their attention on direct attack and strengthening contingency lines. Terrain and weather conditions were in our favor allowing scooper planes and helicopters to drop water on the fire. As the fire moves into spruce trees there is a higher possibility of spot fires, any spots would be short range if it does occur. Night patrols will continue over the next few days.
Today, line construction will continue, with air support as visibility allows. The SE portion, Division Oscar, towards Muckamuck Pass is the priority as our fire fighters focus on stopping forward progress of the fire. Several mechanical resources are being used to remove hazards and build line, including dozers, skidders and chippers. Hazard trees are being removed to help ensure the safety of our fire fighters.
The Conconully area is in a level one evacuation notice. Citizens and visitors are reminded to be aware of their surroundings and ready to evacuate should the need arise.
Weather: A red flag warning is in effect with wind gusts up to 30 mph. Humidity will remain low with temperatures cooling down five degrees from yesterday.
Closures and Restrictions:
Closure Order: 06-21-09-21-10 Southern Cub Creek 2 issued by the Colville National Forest has closed numerous areas, trails, and roads in and around the fire area
FS Road 3700100 is closed at the junction with FS Road 4200000 west of Conconully
FS Road 3800015 is closed at the forest boundary north of Conconully
Mineral Hill Road is closed just west of Conconully
Evacuations:
Level One: Mineral Hill, Conconully, West Fork-Conconully
Level Three: Salmon Meadows-Kerr
Public Use Restrictions: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/colville/alerts-notices

Muckamuck Fire Update
August 14, 2021
Fire Information: (509) 202-4184
Email: 2021.muckamuck@firenet.gov
Start Date: August 4, 2021 Cause: Lightning Size: 1,648 acres Containment: 5%
Location: Approximately three miles northeast of Conconully
Resources Assigned: 84 personnel
Current Situation: Crews were able to build an initial line around the perimeter of the Muckamuck Fire and will be working on improving that line in the coming days. Terrain and weather conditions have provided an opportunity for crews to mop up the north side of the fire to gain 5% containment. All spot fires from the previous day were able to be contained and mopped up. Due to smoke in the area there was limited air support. Night patrols will continue over the next couple days. Previous night shifts have focused on laying hose on the north side. The fire has remained active at night with group trees torching as late as 2 a.m. with ember movements, but no new spots.
Today, with the arrival of additional resources direct attack as well as contingency line contstruction will take place. The SE portion towards Muckamuck Pass will be priority today with morning operations preparing for the wind shifting from the west today. Westerly winds are expected to blow smoke into the area. This may bring visibility below the minimum level for air support to safely fly.
Weather: The weather will begin to turn cooler with winds coming in from the west by midday. This will lead to more smoke over the Muckamuck Fire and Okanogan Valley. It is expected to lift in the Valley by evening.
Closures and Restrictions:
• Closure Order: 06-21-09-21-10 Southern Cub Creek 2 issued by the Colville National Forest has closed numerous areas, trails, and roads in and around the fire area
• FS Road 3700100 is closed at the junction with FS Road 4200000 west of Conconully
• FS Road 3800015 is closed at the forest boundary north of Conconully
• Mineral Hill Road is closed just west of Conconully
Evacuations:
• Level One: Mineral Hill, Conconully, West Fork-Conconully
• Level Three: Salmon Meadows-Kerr

#MuckamuckFire - August 13, 2021
Fire Information: (509) 202-4184
Email: 2021.muckamuck@firenet.gov
Start Date: August 4, 2021 Cause: Lightning Size: 1,648 acres Containment: 0%
Location: Approximately three miles northeast of Conconully
Resources Assigned: 54 personnel
Current Situation: Crews were able to work directly on the fire’s north and south perimeter on Thursday. They were aided by multiple helicopters throughout the operational period. Clear skies and moderate winds caused some active fire behavior in the morning. As smoke from local and Canadian fires settled into the area the fire calmed down. As the fire backs slowly down slope the fuel models will change from the heavy dead and downed fuels. The fire has grown primarily to the southwest and has reached an open grass meadow where spot fires will be easier to identify and line by firefighters on the ground.
Today firefighters will continue to go direct on the fireline as conditions allow. Air support will be available to them as needed. Indirect lines are also being prepped due to the heavy fuel loading and inaccessibility on the east side of the fire. These lines will provide a contingency should the fire spot over the direct line. The overall plan for the incident is full suppression to keep the perimeter as small as possible.
Today California Interagency Incident Management Team 2 (CIIMT2) under the command of Mike Minton assumed command of the Muckamuck, Cub Creek 2, Cedar Creek and Delancy Fires.
Weather: An Excessive Heat Warning has been declared through Saturday
Closures and Restrictions:
• Forest Closure Order 06-12-09-21-10 issued by the Colville National Forest has closed numerous areas, trails and roads in and around the fire area
• FS Road 37 is closed at the junction with FS Road 42. FS Road 38 is closed at the forest boundary north of Conconully
• FS Road 38 is closed at the forest boundary north of Conconully
• Mineral Hill Road is closed just west of Conconully
Evacuations:
• Level One: Mineral Hill, Conconully, West Fork-Conconully
• Level Three: Salmon Meadows-Kerr

Muckamuck Fire– August 8th, 2021 Update

Fire Information Public Phone Line: (509)-202-4184
Email: 2021.muckamuck@firenet.gov
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MuckamuckFire2021
Acres: 1,213
Percent Containment: 0%

Origin/Location: 4 miles Northwest of Conconully, WA.

On August 3rd thunderstorms moved across northern Washington and ignited multiple new wildfires throughout the region. One of those fires was the Muckamuck fire that is located approximately 4 miles northwest of the community of Conconully. Level 3 evacuation notices have been issued for Salmon Meadows-Kerr area, Level 1 evacuation notice have been issued for Conconully, West Fork-Conconully, and Mineral Hill. Local firefighters with the support of resources from the Cub Creek 2 fire responded to the Muckamuck fire and have been working to establish containment lines. As of Yesterday, August 7th, 2021 shortly after 2:00pm Southwest Incident Management Team 2 assumed command of the Muckamuck fire in addition to the Cub Creek 2 Fire. Firefighters will be coordinating with heavy equipment to construct containment lines and establish structure protection to the surrounding community. Today resources will be scouting the area looking for holding features along Fish Lake Road on the eastern flank. On the southern perimeter firefighters continue to scout for holding features looking to utilize dozer lines from the Tripod Fire and the Mineral Hill Road. Firefighters are facing many challenges on the Muckamuck Fire as it is in an area which has not seen wildfire in over fifty years and for firefighter safety indirect suppression tactics have been implemented. Southeast of Conconully the Whitmore Fire continues to be visible as it has grown to 53,314. It is burning southeast of Omak and northwest of the town of Nespelem on the Colville Indian Reservation.
