Transfer of Sourdough Fire Command to North Cascades National Park Service Complex, August 29, 2023

Sourdough Fire
Publication Type: Announcement 09/02/2023

The Northwest Incident Management Team 8 (NWIMT8) will be transferring management of the Sourdough Fire back to North Cascades National Park Service Complex on Tuesday, August 29, 2023 at 6 PM. This change reflects a successful suppression strategy that resulted in achieving containment along the full length of the fire’s southern perimeter that protects the critical values of homes and other structures, hydroelectric infrastructure, a power utility corridor, and SR 20. This level of containment also means that a reduced number firefighting resources and a smaller management team will be effective at managing the fire going forward.

After today, Tuesday, August 29, 2023, future communications related to the Sourdough Fire will be distributed through North Cascades National Park Service Complex.
