Milli​ ​Fire​ ​/​ ​Belknap​ ​Fire August​ ​19,​ ​2017,​ ​a.m.

Location​ ​of​ ​Origin:​ ​9​ ​miles​ ​west​ ​of​ ​Sisters,​ ​OR Start​ ​date:​ ​August​ ​11,​ ​2017,​ ​2:42​ ​pm Size:​ ​Approximately​ ​7,814​ ​acres Percent​ ​Contained:​ ​0% Cause:​ ​Lightning Resources​ ​Assigned:​ ​More​ ​than​ ​400​ ​personnel Vegetation:​​ ​Higher​ ​elevation;​ ​Mixed​ ​conifers.​ ​Lower​ ​elevations;​ ​ponderosa​ ​pine,​ ​juniper​ ​trees,​ ​sagebrush Gusty​ ​winds​ ​on​ ​Friday​ ​pushed​ ​the​ ​fire​ ​to​ ​the​ ​east-southeast,​ ​causing​ ​Level​ ​3​ ​(Go​ ​Now)​ ​evacuations​ ​of approximately​ ​600​ ​residents.​ ​The​ ​evacuations​ ​occurred​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Edgington/Remuda​ ​Road​ ​and​ ​Crossroads​ ​subdivisions, and​ ​included​ ​residents​ ​living​ ​along​ ​the​ ​16​ ​Road,​ ​immediately​ ​to​ ​the​ ​south​ ​of​ ​the​ ​town​ ​of​ ​Sisters.​ ​The​ ​Tollgate​ ​subdivision remains​ ​on​ ​a​ ​Level​ ​1​ ​(Get​ ​Ready)​ ​evacuation. Crews​ ​overnight​ ​worked​ ​to​ ​build​ ​a​ ​direct​ ​line​ ​on​ ​the​ ​leading​ ​edge​ ​of​ ​the​ ​fire,​ ​with​ ​engine​ ​crews​ ​patrolling​ ​the​ ​area and​ ​dozer​ ​crews​ ​digging​ ​fireline.​ ​ ​Temperatures​ ​today​ ​(Saturday)​ ​are​ ​expected​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​few​ ​degrees​ ​cooler​ ​with​ ​higher humidity.​ ​However,​ ​the​ ​winds​ ​that​ ​pushed​ ​the​ ​fire​ ​on​ ​Friday​ ​will​ ​be​ ​back,​ ​with​ ​gusts​ ​up​ ​to​ ​22​ ​miles​ ​an​ ​hour,​ ​from​ ​around 10​ ​am​ ​to​ ​ ​9​ ​pm.​ ​Temperatures​ ​should​ ​ ​range​ ​from​ ​70​ ​-​ ​75​ ​degrees,​ ​with​ ​humidity​ ​ranging​ ​from​ ​22​ ​to​ ​26%.​ ​The​ ​wind​ ​could cause​ ​more​ ​spot​ ​fires​ ​to​ ​develop​ ​and​ ​firefighters​ ​will​ ​be​ ​actively​ ​identifying​ ​them​ ​and​ ​containing​ ​them​ ​where​ ​possible. Also,​ ​today​ ​firefighters​ ​will​ ​be​ ​working​ ​to​ ​contain​ ​the​ ​area​ ​where​ ​the​ ​fire​ ​extended​ ​yesterday​ ​and​ ​will​ ​be​ ​constructing​ ​new containment​ ​lines​ ​between​ ​the​ ​fire's​ ​edge​ ​and​ ​the​ ​communities​ ​that​ ​are​ ​threatened.​ ​Engine​ ​task​ ​forces​ ​from​ ​the​ ​Oregon State​ ​Fire​ ​Marshal's​ ​office​ ​will​ ​be​ ​working​ ​in​ ​the​ ​evacuated​ ​neighborhoods,​ ​treating​ ​spaces​ ​around​ ​homes​ ​to​ ​provide better​ ​defensible​ ​space. There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​community​ ​meeting​ ​tonight​ ​at​ ​6​ ​pm​ ​at​ ​Sisters​ ​High​ ​School.​ ​Representatives​ ​of​ ​the​ ​incident​ ​management team​ ​and​ ​local​ ​agencies​ ​will​ ​be​ ​there​ ​to​ ​provide​ ​the​ ​latest​ ​information​ ​on​ ​the​ ​fire​ ​and​ ​answer​ ​questions. The​ ​Belknap​ ​Fire​ ​is​ ​currently​ ​65%​ ​contained​ ​as​ ​crews​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​work​ ​toward​ ​100%​ ​containment.​ ​Fire​ ​behavior​ ​is minimal​ ​and​ ​size​ ​is​ ​holding​ ​at​ ​125​ ​acres.​ ​The​ ​fire​ ​is​ ​located​ ​20​ ​miles​ ​northeast​ ​of​ ​Prineville​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Mill​ ​Creek​ ​Wilderness. Firefighters​ ​are​ ​working​ ​to​ ​confine​ ​the​ ​fire​ ​and​ ​mop​ ​up​ ​the​ ​interior.​ ​The​ ​Belknap​ ​Fire​ ​was​ ​sparked​ ​by​ ​lightning​ ​and reported​ ​on​ ​August​ ​11​ ​at​ ​11:27​ ​am​ ​(PDT). Air​ ​resources​ ​have​ ​been​ ​very​ ​important​ ​in​ ​fighting​ ​this​ ​fire.​ ​Three​ ​air​ ​tankers​ ​and​ ​one​ ​VLAT​ ​(very​ ​large​ ​air​ ​tanker) have​ ​been​ ​making​ ​repeated​ ​drops​ ​of​ ​fire​ ​retardant,​ ​creating​ ​fire​ ​lines​ ​and​ ​assisting​ ​our​ ​crews​ ​in​ ​inaccessible​ ​areas.​ ​Today, we’re​ ​expecting​ ​to​ ​have​ ​two​ ​Type​ ​2​ ​helicopters​ ​and​ ​one​ ​Type​ ​3​ ​in​ ​the​ ​air,​ ​with​ ​two​ ​National​ ​Guard​ ​helicopters​ ​on standby. If​ ​you​ ​fly,​ ​we​ ​can’t.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​a​ ​temporary​ ​flight​ ​restriction​ ​(TFR)​ ​area​ ​over​ ​the​ ​fire​ ​and​ ​anyone​ ​who​ ​flies​ ​a​ ​drone​ ​in​ ​the TFR​ ​could​ ​ground​ ​our​ ​air​ ​resources.​ ​Drones​ ​endanger​ ​our​ ​pilots​ ​in​ ​the​ ​air​ ​and​ ​our​ ​firefighters​ ​on​ ​the​ ​ground,​ ​who​ ​depend on​ ​air​ ​support​ ​to​ ​fight​ ​fires​ ​like​ ​this​ ​one.
