9/19/22 Tenmile Fire Update

Tenmile
Publication Type: News 09/19/2022
There will be a community meeting on Tuesday, September 20 at 11:00 a.m. at the Secesh Fire Station

Vegetation clearing and dispersal via chipping operations have been completed along NF-325 Road between War Eagle Lookout and Secesh. Two additional chippers have arrived to expedite chipping operations along roadways and containment lines on the west and north sides of the fire.

Over the next few days, firefighting crews will resume chipping operations along Warren Wagon Road. Residents and visitors driving along the road are urged to proceed with caution for firefighter and public safety.

Fire activity continues to be minimal, with creeping and smoldering. Heavy fuels continue to burn and isolated torching is expected in parts of the fire that receive direct sun exposure.

Weather over the next two days is expected to warm and the area will experience a drying trend. However, rain and a cool-down in temperatures is expected for Wednesday night through Thursday night, with up to a quarter inch of precipitation forecasted.

Air Quality:  
Air quality remains good. However, with warming temperatures the fire activity may increase and produce smoke that could impact surrounding communities. Smoke could remain until a significant season ending weather event moves through the fire area. Visit airnow.gov for more information.

Closure:
For the safety of firefighters and the public, two emergency fire area closure orders are in effect for the Tenmile Fire on the Payette National Forest and the Bureau of Land Management, Cottonwood Field Office. The closure orders, including a full description of the trails, roads, and areas closed, are available at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/closures/8401/.
