Loch Katrine Fire
Daily Update, October 25, 2022, 11:00 AM
Fire activity on the Loch Katrine Fire is limited to smoldering in areas of deep duff and heavy fuels. Fire moderation will continue as rain showers, cooler temperatures, and high-elevation snowfall continue through the week. The last IR flight was on October 19, so acres have not changed, remaining at 1,918 acres.
The main activities on the fire now are repair, patrol, and mop up. Crews are installing water bars on handlines and dozer lines to reduce the risk of erosion. Mop up activities include opening up stump holes and other areas of remaining heat to expose them to rain. Suppression repair needs are being assessed and implemented as conditions allow.
Evacuation: No evacuation orders are in place.
Weather: Another cold front is moving in today (Tuesday). Expect isolated showers increasing to widespread rain in the evening. As much as an inch of rain could fall by Wednesday morning. Rain is forecast through the week with isolated showers on Wednesday and rainfall continuing Thursday through Saturday. Caution: Rain may increase the risk of burn scar debris flows and flash floods.
