Incident Update Shoe Fire

Situation Summary

Last night, during the evening shift on October 13, activity continues to increase in the Beartrap area.

Additional resources have arrived and been put into place to bolster existing equipment and personnel. Firefighters have reported successful firing operations along with the utilization of dozer lines in the north and west sides of the fire to create containment lines. The south and east sides of the fire, primarily in the Beartrap creek continue to have an increase in fire behavior. Dozers have had some limited capabilities due to road access. Aircraft and dozer operations will remain a key priority to create access to the south and east sides of the fire. Dozers continue to work to gain better access for direct fire line attack. The safety of our firefighters is priority and they will continue to make progress in a safe manner.

Fire is progressing northward fueled by down slope and down valley winds. Constant changes in wind direction will be observed today along with wind gusts, gusting between 10 to 15 miles per hour.
