Current Situation
Situation Summary
As of 10/25/22 at 7:00 AM, Northwest Team 12 has taken command of the Shoe Fire.
UPDATE 10/26/24: Fire activity was minimal yesterday with interior areas of the fire smoldering and producing very little smoke. Firefighters continued to add depth to containment lines by gridding for heat as they progressed deeper into the interior of the fire area and extinguished hot spots. Crews sifted through dozer berms checking for heat and extinguishing smoldering and underground fire.
Additional heavy equipment resources arrived to engage in fire suppression repair in the coming days. Excess hose and equipment continued to be backhauled from the fire area. Today, firefighters will vigilantly patrol and monitor for flare ups, actively grid burned areas for heat and fire, and continue mop-up operations to fully extinguish remaining hot spots. Chipping and masticating will resume along contingency lines and fire suppression repair needs are being identified by resource advisors. Firefighters assigned to the Shoe Fire will also remain available to assist with any new wildfire starts in the nearby area.
A temporary Forest closure is in effect https://www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/stnf/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprdb5392380
