October 23 Update for the Loch Katrine Fire

Loch Katrine Fire
Publication Type: News 10/26/2022

Loch Katrine Fire, Suiattle River Fire, and Boulder Lake Fire

Daily Update, October 23, 2022, 10:00 AM

 

Fire activity on the Loch Katrine, Suiattle River, and Boulder Lake fires has been limited by the recent rain showers, cooler temperatures, and high-elevation snowfall. The last IR flight was on October 19, so acres have not changed.

The Loch Katrine Fire remains at 1,918 acres. The main activities on the fire now are repair, monitoring, and mop up. Crews are cleaning up dozer lines in the Phillippa Creek area and monitoring any remaining heat spots; smoldering will continue within the fire area until significant snowfall. Suppression repair needs are being assessed and are beginning as conditions allow.

The Suiattle River and Boulder Lake fires are in monitor and patrol status. As of this morning, Sunday, October 23, 2022, the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest has assumed management of the Suiattle River Fire and the Boulder Lake Fire, because no further significant activity is anticipated on these fires based on current and expected weather forecasts. If you have questions or need addition information, please contact the Darrington Ranger Station during normal business hours at 360-436-1155.

Evacuation: No evacuation orders are in place.

Weather and Fire Behavior: Today (Sunday) will see low clouds in the morning and overcast conditions in the afternoon with a chance of light rain. Another storm is building in the Pacific and will bring rain after midnight tonight and steady rain Monday and Tuesday. Caution: Rain may increase the risk of burn scar debris flows and flash floods.

Closures: For public safety, Forest Road 26, also known as Suiattle River Road, will remain closed at the junction with Highway 530 for ongoing fire prevention and mitigation efforts. The Darrington Ranger District has closed recreation facilities and trails including: Buck Creek Campground, Boulder Lake Trail, Huckleberry Mountain Trail, Buck Creek Trail, Green Mountain Trail, Downey Creek Trail, Suiattle Trail, Sulphur Creek Trail, and Sulphur Mountain Trail.
