OSFM REPORT
TYPE OF INCIDENT: Conflagration
INCIDENT NAME: GW Fire
DATE AND TIME FIRE STARTED: 31 August 2007
For Conflagration: DATE AND TIME CONFLAGRATION DECLARED:.2030 hours, 03 September 2007
LOCATION: Near Black Butte, Oregon
SIZE:.Estimated 7,300 acres
CAUSE: Lightning
STATUS: 5% contained. The fire is ½ mile from the Community of Black Butte. All perimeters of the fire were active yesterday. Gusty, 30 mph winds moved the fire in a northeasterly direction which prompted the decision to evacuate Black Butte Ranch. Once the winds subsided for the evening, night operations with eight dozers, five hand crews, and five engines began direct attack on the fire. Approximately seven miles of dozer line was successfully constructed and burned out by hand crews securing the constructed line on the northeast, east, and southeast flanks.
Today, firefighters will continue to secure the line constructed last night and mop-up and hold the line on the north flank. Two hotshot crews will begin working from the Washington Wilderness Area boundary constructing line on the fires edge headed west.
