Do they do any kind of pre-burn in areas ahead of the fire? Like start a fire and burn back towards the oncoming fire wall?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Yes they do, they shoot flares in areas they can't reach.
This alert just came on my phone.

Level 3: GO NOW South of Powder River/Brownlee Reservoir to Huntington. East of Iron Mountain.

Basically it made a huge loop and went back to Huntington and up Brownlee canyon. I've posted pics of our camping spot.
I Grouse hunt on Iron Mountain, and Brownlee is my fishing area. We are in bad shape.

 

[WickedFog]

Want us to do a go•frog•me and put you up in a motoadstool for a few days?

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm amphibian, I can live in the water. Me, my wife, and my furnace girl.

How close is the fire to you now? I bet it's kinda smokey outside.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Kinda is a understatement bro. If we look west we see Indianhead mountain which is only 10 miles, we can't see it right now.
My lungs feel like I'm breathing with a mason jar.
I'm 10 minutes from Huntington.

When it rains it pours. No pun intended.

"Heavy rainfall from thunderstorms could trigger flash flooding of low-lying areas, debris flows and mud flows in and near recent wildfire burn scars.

It's almost like Mother Nature spun a wheel and threw a dart and it landed on Oregon/Idaho.
We gonna mess with these kids for awhile.

Emergency Alert:

Wildfire Alert from Malheur county Sheriff's Office
Level 2 - BE SET to evacuate from North and east of !-84 south of Hwy 201, west of Owyhee Canal.

Hwy 201 is 3 miles from me and only stretches about 10 miles to I-84. She getting close.
If she jumps the reservoir then it will get into Mann Creek, Forest service area. Beautiful timber area 20 minutes to the North from us.

EDIT; updated to level 3 GO NOW

[Tunedfrog]

I'm ok kev, thanks bud.
I drove out to our camping area on the Idaho side and it's too smokey to see the smoke if that makes sense.
I posted a pic of Indianhead mountain in this thread and said we can see it ten miles out which we normally can,
this is Indianhead mountain a mile from it, you see how bad the smoke is.
We are expecting thunderstorms starting any time.
I have a killer headache from it also.

 

[WickedFog]

Hopefully the rain will put some fires out.

 

[DavidB1126]

Hopefully the rain will put some fires out.

Yeah. Can someone get all this rain on the east coast and bring it over there?

 

[Tunedfrog]

Funny how they are performing evacuations from the fire and have flash flood warnings also.

Don't ship it USPS, it takes too long.

 

[WickedFog]

Yeah, I saw that. Kinda crazy.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I'm more concerned about starting fires on the Idaho so, I'm only 20 minutes from the Payette National Forest. We were at the edge of it this morning as a matter of fact.

Just gives you more time to focus on eating!

 

[Tunedfrog]

Lightning just started a fire out at Crane Creek Reservoir, you guys have heard me talking about Crappie fishing out there.
10 more lightning fires started North of the Durkee fire. Man oh man, @DavidB1126 send us some rain.

 

[DavidB1126]

Man oh man, @DavidB1126 send us some rain.

I don't know how too!

 

[Chubaka]

I don't know how too!

Back pack leaf blowers.

 

[Tunedfrog]

Never mind @DavidB1126 we are going to get hit with a huge storm, and it has started.
Warnings just went across the tv screen, extreme flash floods.

 

[DavidB1126]

Never mind @DavidB1126 we are going to get hit with a huge storm, and it has started.
