Buck creek fire

[MerriamMagician]

From what I've read their not really fighting the fire and just letting it run its course. Also have read they anticipate it burning well into October which would probably keep the closure in place during the high hunt.

Theres  around 70 sprinklers protecting the buildings around trinity. They plan on letting it burn around it. The road is benefiting the most from this fire as the crews assigned to the fire have been brushing and falling snags.

Would be good for it

Sounds like the perfect kind of fire. IMO, as much as the last couple summers of devastating fires in the Methow and Okanogan have sucked, I'm glad to see some of this ground burning.

You guys have some good points. It'll be dissapointing if the closure prevents hunting in there this year, but could make for better hunting in the future

There was one and I merged them.

Last Tuesday was the most active day the last 14 days as far as fire activity goes.

"its a healthy fire, at the right time and the right place.  Its will reestablish old growth."

That is the USFS writer for inciweb!!

To bad they have forgotten their role in "management" of the Forest.

oh thats right, the Sierra Club tells them what to do these days!   Do as we say or we'll file a injunction against you!!

Mother nature controlled this one. Forest service let it burn which they needed to do. It is burning in the wilderness after all.

It rained up there pretty good over the Labor Day weekend...and it's been getting down into the 30's at night so the relative humidity is up pretty high. I think this fire is about as big as it is going to get, but I am sure the Entiat RD will use it as an excuse to shut down roads and access somehow...
