That is similar to the scope of the Santiam complex last September. The lions head went from warm springs to the beachie creek fire which stopped right by silver falls and mehema. 

Hopefully just enough of that area was burned last year that no fires are near you from now on. That must have been frightening.

Can't even see Mt Shasta from Mt Shasta City

I was able to see Mt. Shasta yesterday when it cleared from the 6th street overpass. 

Gone once again now.

Just found this pic of the East Troublesome Fire last October in Colorado. Pretty unbelievable. When I flew back a week later there was snow on the ground.

1.61 million acres burned in BC to date.

How did the recent rains impact the situation up there? 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Here is a quick rundown on the active fires burning west of the Cascade Crest in Oregon. From south to north. 

Devil's Knob Complex 4,651 acres 5% contained

Skyline Ridge Complex 3,087 acres 23% contained

Rough Patch Complex 4,765 acres 3% contained

Middle Fork Complex 5,097 acres 2% contained

Knoll Fire 400 acres 0% contained

Bull of the Woods Complex 666 (!) acres 0% contained

Only one really active fire east of the Cascades in Oregon right now, way way out there south of Prairie City. 

Black Butte Fire 14, 521 acres 5% contained. 

 

Devil's Knob Complex, Rough Patch, and Middle Fork Complex have the potential to make some real serious noise in coming days. Given it's remote location I would guess the Black Butte Fire will end up burning some serious acreage though a lot of it is sagebrush and shrub.

Hope Jesse is doing ok. That is brutal work out in this heat. I don’t envy him right now.

Big reprieve for now. Fire activity has been very subdued the past few days. 

[Cloud]

Looks like the 3 alarm brush fire in South Hill that prompted evac orders is 100% contained. Thank goodness for that... crew made very good progress sometimes after 7-8pm when the wind died down. Unfortunately, one firefighter did have to go to the hospital for heat exhaustion. Hope that person is doing alright. This time of the year can be quite brutal with the fires. 

[Cloud]

Schneider Springs Fires in Naches, WA exploded overnight and doubled in size to 13,600 acres. There is currently  a level 3 evac orders in place. 
 

Fire was sparked on Aug. 3 by lightning. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Oregon Fire Update:

New Fire in Lake County: Patton Meadow 7,000 acres

West of Cascade Crest:

Devils Knob: 6,606 acres 12% containment

Skyline Ridge 4,828 acres 30%

Rough Patch 5,738 3%

Middle Fork Complex 8,424 2%

Knoll 544 30%

Bull of the Woods Complex 1,193 0%

 

Despite the extreme heat, winds have been calm these last few days and RH are pretty high. 

[ShawniganLake]

Update: August 14, 6:45 pm 

The Tremont Creek wildfire has exhibited significant growth to the south and east. The fires edge is now within the northern boundary of the District of Logan Lake. Airtankers have been supporting throughout the afternoon and remain on scene. Ground crews, structure protection personnel and fire apparatus are established in Logan Lake to protect from ember cast and will maintain a 24 hour presence.  

The District of Logan Lake has issued an expanded Evacuation Order to include Highland Valley Copper Mine. For more information please refer to the District of Logan Lake. 

There has been aggressive fire near Tunkwa Lake this afternoon as a result of strong gusting winds. Structure protection has been established in this area and helicopters have been supporting with bucketing operations when visibility allows.

Some good news.

 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Smoke is everywhere.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

These were pics I snapped last night. Looked like hell on earth.  Still up here. Fire in pic looks closer than it is. Still a few miles away but not moving this direction anymore at the moment.  Worked all night building a fire break road around my cabin and trimming tree's and clearing more debri from ground. 

[NWbyNW]

More unfortunate news as the Chelan County fire named Twenty Five Mile, calls for extended evacuations.  Hopefully the rain pounding Northwestern Washington will help a lot of these fires to die out.

I am confused... there is definitely no rain "pounding" NW WA and how would rain on the west side of the mountains put out a fire east of the mountains?

It's been raining on and off here in Everett since 3pm.  There were periods of heavy rain and winds.  There is a light mist currently at 9:50pm.  Was hoping this rain was going to soak the Kitsap Peninsula and take the fires down there and sneak east and help there too.

Hard to call this rain "pounding" NW WA... and even KPAE has only picked up .10 which is not exactly a big rain event.

 

[AlTahoe]

This fire started 24 hours ago and is 6500 acres already with 40mph about to start. It is about 70 miles west of us and it is snowing ash up here already

I'm just having fun with words here. Come on.  I'm just super excited to see rain and hear it on my roof. I think everyone is for the most part.

But if you want to get all statistical, the rain gauge for me is at .35 for the past 24hrs.  I know I am not Paine Field, but the precipitation is different even in just short distances from each other. The downtown station had .47 inches. Paine Field is a poor location for Everett to keep tabs, as most of the city is sea level and on the water.  Paine field is the highest point in the city and far from the majority of the city.

If Paine Field only got have .10, that is an outlier for the city.

Devil's Knob Complex, Rough Patch, and MF Complex put up some decent growth in the past 24 hours. Skyline Ridge complex is nearing containment.

The Schneider Creek fire was an absolute beast last night on the IR satellite.    Not a dot... but rather a large blob of black.
