Great Basin Team 6 (type 2) will in-brief Friday evening on the #EastFire near #Cascade #Idaho
The nightly infrared mission was unable to map the fire due to cloud cover. We'll likely get a GPS perimeter flight in the morning.
A metric 💩 ton of retardant was dropped on the #fire today... very aggressive air show. The initial attack costs are already over a million dollars... This area has the potential to be bad, so expect the aggressive response to continue. #Wildfire #IDfire #IDwx

I am monitoring the #EastFire on East Mountain, East of Cascade #Idaho.
It's an initial attack fire that was reported last night. It's currently listed at 200 acres (though the sat images and VIIRS detections I'm looking at make me think that's a low estimate).
I'll be checking in on this throughout the day. I currently see no major threat from this fire but it's got potential. They'll hit it pretty hard and fast, fingers crossed.

Monsoonal moisture is moving into the #HaydenFire area. Not sure if any is hitting the ground yet, but ITD road cams to the south show actual widespread rain hitting the ground -- very rare for us in August. The increased humidity and (hopefully) rain should result in lower fire activity and give fire crews a chance to improve the completion of their confine & contain objectives.

Yesterday I said I didn't think a #HaydenFire zone 2 or 3 evacuation order was very likely given their mapped action points, with a major caveat of "barring a wind event"...
I'm getting ready for a trip so I haven't done my morning #fire deep dive, but I'd keep an eye out for new evac notices today.

A closer look at 3 active areas of the #HaydenFire.
**Check the image captions for my commentary.
Overall, I think a ton of progress has been made, I'm interested to see tonight's IR flight data, but I'm optimistic based on what I see on the Ops map -- assuming the weather doesn't get too extreme I think they have a good chance of holding their primary lines.

A closer look at the evacuation action points mapped on tonight's updated evac map. You can see where the fire crossed the zone 1 trigger resulting in the GO order.
Barring a major wind event and a string of bad luck, I don't foresee a zone 3 evac order being triggered. And zone 2 would be more unlikely. I think Zone 1 could stand down to SET status in the next day or two with a bit of blacklining around that trigger point.

#HaydenFire was quite hot well after dark according to the GOES-West RGB #fire loop. Only visible fire in the northwest at the time.
and here's the ICS-209 update for the evening. Nothing too interesting was noted.

EVACUATION NOTICE #HaydenFire
**Zone 1 is now GO**
Zone 2 is now SET
Zone 3 remains SET
The Baptist Church in Salmon is the shelter. If you need assistance or need help placing animals, call either of the Shelter contacts listed in the notice. They're good people; they've worked in natural disasters all over the world. They'll do everything they can to help you. And yes, now that you mention it, their last names are the same as mine... weird that ;)

**EVACUATION NOTICE**
#HaydenFire "GO" evacuation notices are being sent. I don't have full details yet, but I suspect zone 1 (and maybe zone 3) based on satellite imagery I'm seeing this afternoon. .
The shelter (Salmon Valley Baptist Church in Salmon) remains on standby to assist.
If you get the notice, please take it seriously.
I'll update once I know full extent of evacuation area.

GOES-West showing #HaydenFire activity on both the north flank and the South-East Flank of the #fire. Both are pretty active.

Here's a closer look at last night's IR data on the north flank of the #HaydenFire It does appear a small burnout operation was done on the dozer line and road. I expect more of this today -- I imagine they *really* want to get this corner black-lined.

*EVACUATION UPDATE*
The #evacuation shelter (the Baptist church) in Salmon has just been informed that the #HaydenFire is half a mile from triggering a "GO" evacuation order.
If you get that call, go. I've been on enough fire lines to know you don't want to try to save your property from an approaching fire in red-flag wind-driven conditions.

#HaydenFire IR mapping mission was successful last night (yay!) Shows 9,659 acres, a reduction in size due to much more accurate mapping reflecting areas within the previous GPS perimeter that have not burned.
Here are 3 quick maps I made for ya. I've reviewed today's operations maps and have thoughts on them, but got a couple of meetings to attend to first. be back after the mid-morning updates.
I will say, I'm less concerned than I was yesterday.

As of tomorrow morning, the TFR over the #HaydenFire will be expanded quite a bit. The current TFR is in red, the pending TFR (active at 730a) is shown in yellow.

#EVACUATION STATUS
for #HaydenFire
Zone 1 & 3 are now in "SET" status (in the READY-SET-GO system).
Please be prepared to evacuate; the Baptist Church in Salmon is on Standby as the Shelter.
Please note that the fire perimeter on this evacuation zone map is (very) old.
If you're in Zone 1, like seriously y'all... be ready to leave at a moment's notice.
