Four Corners Fire Update September 20, 2022

Four Corners Fire
Publication Type: News 09/20/2022

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.

Firefighters assigned to the team will continue to respond to new fire starts in the area.  Since the teams arrival last week, they have responded to and extinguished 4 lightning caused fires and kept them to about .10-acres in size. Potentially there are lighting struck trees in the area from the recent storms that are smoldering and not visible until the tree dries out after the rainstorm. Firefighters will patrol by ground and air when safe to do so. 

Fire personnel continue to make good progress on mop up, repair activities, and preparations to remove un-needed equipment such as hose and pumps off containment lines.  At this time excavator suppression repair work is 72% done and about 3.39 miles of dozer line is still existing.  Line repair will continue as the equipment is able to progress around the fire perimeter.

Recreators and hunters should also be on the lookout for lighting or human caused fires this time of year.  If you find a fire that is outside of the Four Corners Fire perimeter, please take note of where you are with a GPS Lat/Long, good description, and report to the nearest Ranger Station or 911. 

Dozer Repair Status: 28% Needs repair; 72% has been completed for a total of 7.56 miles

Hand Line Status: 5% Needs repair; 95% Completed for a total of 14.76 miles
