Yesterday aircraft supported firefighters along the southwest flank throughout the day as they worked to extend established containment lines, while engaged in direct line construction. On the southeast perimeter heavy equipment and crews were able to successfully connect their containment lines to holding features. Resources on the northern flank progressed along FS RD 38 with mastication operations as they continued to build contingency lines. Today firefighters will be securing containment lines and continue providing structure protection. Aviation and ground resources will coordinate today working together progressing with indirect and direct line construction. Increased smoke can be expected as conditions will remain hot and dry over the fire the next two days.

Along the southern flank heavy equipment were able to successfully reopen dozer lines from the Tripod fire. Crews were able to b direct begin suppression tactics and scout for holding features as a contingency. Firefighters on the northeastern flank were able to make access up to the fire area and get equipment moved along the FS RD 38 scouting for areas to engage the fire. Today as weather and visibility permits aviation resources will be utilized on the fire, crews will continue to coordinate with heavy equipment and extend direct containment lines in addition to providing structure protection, setting up sprinkler systems and hose lays throughout the communities.
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.

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.
