Fire started by lightening on Friday night.  It's near Conrad Meadows on PineGrass side of bowl.  It's between 1040 and 1070 rds near rim.  The 1000 rd is closed above 1000/1040 intersection.  25 acres burned on Saturday, jumped to 300 acres by Sunday night.

 I saw Auhtanum Fire crews heading up to Conrad Meadows fire Saturday afternoon. 

Today, they are upgrading to Interagency Type III Incident Management Team to manage the Conrad Complex. Participating agencies include US Forest Service, WA State Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and Yakima County.

Fire behavior was "aggressive" on Sunday, even w/some local rain Saturday evening and cooler temps Sunday.

Driest I've ever seen it at Rim Rock.  Definitely has the potential to blow up into very big fire pretty fast.

My older brother went from the Mile Marker 28 fire, to a fire in Sisters,OR. Came home Saturday night and was deployed out today at 3am to this fire at RimRock.   Busy time of year.

It was quite a storm Friday night! I was camped up there and it was right on top of me for about a half hour.

We were up there as well.  It made for an interesting hour or so.  Look like they changed it to the conrad lake fire now.  Raul, if you get any updates from your brother, please pass them along.  I will be watching this one closely...

Just got word that FS has closed 1000 rd up to CM, plus they have closed 1204 and 1205 roads up to Pinegrass area.  Looks like they are starting to mobilize people up 1204 and 1205 rds to Pinegrass Ridge area to fight fire once it tops out into Goat Rocks Wilderness area.

We were headed that way to do some 4 wheeling this weekend and kick it at Clear Lake. Is this going to be doable?

[Seatown5]

It probably won't be very enjoyable with all the smoke

I will be up there roaming around some where. If you see the "Barbie Jeep", stop and say 

You will know when you see it
