On Tuesday evening at 6 p.m., Nevada Team 2 will transition command of the Four Corners Fire to a Payette National Forest Type 4 Incident Commander. This will be the last daily update for the Four Corners Fire.
 Warmer, drier weather today may increase smoldering and smokes in the interior.
Progress on dozer line and hand line repairs are nearly complete showing 82% and 92% respectively. 
Following the Forest Repair Plan, firefighters will continue to work with the resource advisors to rehab and identify upcoming suppression repair needs.   
Yesterdays infrared imagery showed in increase in acreage due to interior pockets of fuel burning.
The next update you see will be released on Monday September 26th, 2022, unless significant changes occur. Recently the sun has been shining and winds have picked up a little each afternoon. Visible fire activity has increased slightly, but moisture is expected to arrive Wednesday and Thursday. You may see heavy fuels continuing to burn and some visible smoke on the mountain, but the fire activity is generally creeping and smoldering.
Very little smoke was visible today, but Infrared flights at night are detecting heat sources in the fire footprint. Despite the cooler weather and rain activity, the fire continues to smolder under the tree canopy, tops of trees, and in the downed logs. It is still fire season, and the dead and live tree species are dry due to the hot summer.
A crisp late summer day welcomed fire crews Saturday as patrols of containment lines and repair areas progressed. The recent change in forest closure boundaries has encouraged increased recreational traffic in and around the fire perimeter. Motorists are advised to exercise caution because the Four Corners Fire is still an active fire zone. Please drive slow, watch for road hazards and avoid firefighters, engines and heavy equipment working in the area. Expect some delays up to 30 minutes on the Anderson Creek 435 road while crews remove hazard trees.
Fire personnel are seeing many recreationists near the fire since the closure has been reduced in size.
Yesterday evening the closure area of the fire was reduced in size (see Maps tab).  Recreationists can now enjoy Snowbank Mountain and the areas surrounding the fire.  Travel on the Anderson Creek 435 road will be allowed but fire officials ask that you drive slowly and watch out for fire traffic who are still patrolling and working in the area.
