Canada: A wildfire has just broken out in Alberta on the Canadian Forces Base in Wainwright. Both the Prime Minister and Premier have made statements saying a “serious and major incident occurred on the base, with a fast moving fire starting.” Medivac ships are flying into the area, and the official Prime Minister page is calling it a tragedy. The local community is being evacuated, and a large firefighter response is underway. Something big must have happened to cause this fire to get such a reaction from both the Prime Minister and Premier, so quickly. Reports of major explosions. Video from Madison Keller

New footage has emerged of young hikers running away from the origin of the Palisades Fire off the Temescal Trail. “Dude that’s right where we were standing.” While placing no blame on these individuals, I think it’s important that’s these kids talk to investigators about what they saw that day on the trail. LAFD 🔥

New Start, California: The Cooley Fire, on the Mendocino and Sonoma county line, is an interesting fire that’s becoming more active this afternoon. It started as a private property prescribed burn. The burn was fully approved, but got out of containment lines, and was declared a wildfire. Air Attack is now overhead, and has requested two Type 1 helicopters. Cal Fire units have also responded. Currently 78 degrees with 19% RH. More on this and the other California fires on today’s show.

From a Canadian firefighter who knows what’s going on: #canada #wildfire #smoke (Worth the read) “I know you may know, but people need to know and understand that most Canadian wildfire management agencies have fire “zonation” policies similar to Alaska. This means in large areas of their jurisdictions, especially in the northern part of the country, wildfires are left to run there natural course w little or no direct action or suppression. We’ll protect values at risk, ie. infrastructure, communities, critical habitat or culturally significant features on the landscape, we’ll map them and maybe try to burn them to natural barrier, fight one flank and let the rest roll (limited action) but we are not putting them out. On many of the fires we don’t even try. A number of these fires are huge boreal gobblers (I am currently assigned to a 250,000 ha fire, well over 600,000 acres and you could fit the org. chart on one side of a beer can). The only thing that is going to put out this fire out and many across the country is winter, 5 months from now. It’s going to be a long, smoky summer for everyone. You have a wide reach, it would be great if you can help people understand these dynamics in the Canadian wildfire scene when they’re bitching about the smoke. Cheers 🍻 and thanks.” Pretty decent picture of what’s going on. Thanks for the insight. In the industry we call this letting a fire “Do its thing”. It’s especially common in these vast boreal forests. Siberia does the same thing. Identify hazards and values at risk, mitigate, let it go. Cheers.

Footage of the initial start of the fires in Lahaina, Maui. #hawaii #wildfire No official cause has been released yet but class action lawsuits have already been opened by multiple law firms, suing the local utility and power companies for their roll in the tragedy. The class action lawsuit alleges that downed power lines that MECO, HECO, HELCO, and HEI owned and operated caused the fire. “The utilities also failed to deenergize their power lines prior to the fire, despite warnings days before that high winds from Hurricane Dora would create "high fire danger." On the day of the fire, the National Weather Service issued a High Wind Warning and Red Flag Warning.” There is still a lot to be determined with this fire, but it’s clear the devastation to the community will be felt for years. The death toll is now up to 80 people. This will likely rise.

Hurricanes and wildfire: #hawaii #maui #wildfire #LahainaFire The winds brought the power poles and transformers down, that sparked fires, communications went down, then 80MPH gusts fanned the flames across the landscape. A perfect storm… but why?! If you look at the National Interagency Fire Center’s Predictive Services, which we have been covering, they knew Hawaii would be ready for significant fire growth as far back at Spring. “El Niño will be the driving factor.” There was a La Niña/El Niño switch this spring… El Niño has developed in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, and rapid warming continues in much of the ENSO region, especially in the central Pacific with continued anomalous warmth off the coast of South America. Above normal sea surface temperatures are observed in all ENSO regions. Most forecast guidance depicts continued warming through summer, with El Niño conditions forecast to continue into winter. The Climate Prediction Center forecasts a greater than 95% chance of El Niño conditions continuing into winter, with a 56% chance of a strong El Niño developing this fall. Other teleconnection patterns, such as the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), Pacific Decadal Oscillation, and Pacific-North American Pattern may influence weather and climate during the outlook period, but El Niño will be the main driver…

The view of the South Fork Fire from Crawford, Nebraska this evening. This is some crazy fire behavior. Nebraska has seen the most active and largest wildfires in the nation this year, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping. Residents surrounding Crawford are evacuating, and ranchers are trying to get their cattle to safe locations. The fire is now over 16,000 acres. Over 1.1M acres have burned in the state so far. 📷 Luis Corral 🙏

Pinpoint accuracy, what a beautiful drop: The MM115 HWY 20 Fire outside Mountain Home, Idaho is now just under 5,000 acres. Crews and aviation teamed up bring the fire to 10% containment as of this afternoon. The north side of the fire is looking good, with crews continuing to make progress and strengthen containment efforts. The southern side remains more challenging, with firefighters and incident management worked this morning to identify opportunities to connect existing lines and “put the pieces together” to increase containment. Thanks to the subscriber who shared this view of the MM115 HWY 20 Fire.

🚨How do we know the wildfire situation in the United States has boiled over…? #cafire #idfire #wafire #orfire #mtfire In a meeting with the Oregon Department of Forestry today they announced there are no more Incident Management Teams left available in the country, no more shower units, no more caterers… There are reports that a fire camp burned over in Idaho yesterday, luckily no injuries have been reported. Logistical issues are stacking up with Caches running out of supplies and transport issues as well. I cover all of this on tomorrow’s Substack podcast episode. And now there are threats for a Government shutdown and seasonal layoffs… Above is the Lava Fire, which ripped 11.4 miles yesterday. Thanks to the subscriber who shared this footage from Idaho.

The Cottonwood Fire is a Great Basin monster. The fire is now estimated at 2,000+ acres, and it looks like it’s all of that and possibly more. At this time, all residents and visitors from Hi-Lo Cabins up to Kent Lake have been evacuated. Crews will be taking water from the Pressurized Irrigation pond.

The Los Pinos wildfire started yesterday afternoon in San Juan county, New Mexico, near the Colorado border after a gas pipeline exploded. What a crazy fire to respond to. Fire resources from Los Pinos Fire Protection District, mutual aid resources, and utility crews responded, and the line was shut down. Crews then addressed the resulting timber fire. The cause of the explosion is not yet known, no injuries have been reported.

California: One of the crazier drops from the Palisades Fire this week. The pilot pulls out of the drop hard. If you listen, you can hear the jet engines really working hard coming out of the drop. Maybe a slight issue with the doors after the drop is made? Or maybe just some residual retardant coming out. Either way, pretty incredible. The Palisades Fire is now 22% contained and the Eaton Fire has drastically increased containment to 55%. The Hurst Fire is basically wrapped up at 98% contained. Thanks to the subscriber who shared this 📷. 🙏

Incredible footage from the Adams Complex Fires outside Kamloops, British Columbia. #canada #wildfire In the first video we see a “firenado” along the lake shore. The cool temperatures of the water combined with the convective heat of the fire created this incredible phenomenon. The second video shows the fire activity durning the daytime. A fire camp of nearly 400 personnel had to be evacuated as the fire approached. Wild scenes. Thanks for the subscriber that shared these 📷. Cheers brother. 🙏🍻

In a press conference minutes ago, authorities said the Aspen Acres Fire is now 7 miles from Wetmore, Colorado, and now a mandatory evacuation is in effect for the Wetmore area. From Pueblo county line, to Mackenzie Junction, to Fremont county to the North. For an idea of how far this fire has run, the original evacuation shelter was in Wetmore… People are NOT being allowed into the fire area. The plan to asses homes lost has been postponed today due to fire activity. This fire is likely well over 40,000 acres now. Fire managers said they had to order a Team from Alaska due to other fires across the West utilizing a large number of resources. Red flag conditions persist over the fire area. 📷 Thomas Alvis

I’ve received too many messages to ignore the obvious… It sounds like the Park Fire is totally f*cked. #cafire #cawx #wildfire #parkfire Numerous resources self demobed today after the fire jumped a 16 blade wide dozer push, that’s the footage below. I’ve been told another dozer burned up today, and the operator received burns to the face and neck. Multiple crew members got singed while trying to catch spots and hold the line. They were talking about suppression repair yesterday, and today they are worried about the fire pushing into Mineral. At least they have prepped around that community extensively. I’ve been told Heavy equipment is scattered and overhead doesn’t know what they got, and head fire is slamming dozer line that folks were told not to burn off. That’s very odd to not fire off dozer line when you expect head fire to slam into it. This fire started in the worst way… I’d hate to see it end in the worst way as well. Yes, this is a massive fire that is difficult to manage, totally understandable. But the flood of messages in my inbox tells me the Swiss Cheese model is starting to line up.

This footage from Mariah Hicks shows how receptive the fuels are, and the effect of the low RH combined with high winds. Many fires across the west are bracing for the long duration Red Flag conditions settling in.

The entire town of Ruidoso, New Mexico is being evacuated… population nearly 8,000 people. #wildfire #nmfire The South Fork, Salt, and Penn Scott Fires have turned into this town’s worst nightmare. I have fought fire there numerous times, including on the Blue 2 Fire. This is right near where the Smokey Bear museum is located.

Things are getting Cowboy down in Oklahoma, this is near Stillwater. That brush truck got real intimate with that head fire before pulling out. Wildfires are breaking out all across the Panhandle.

Pure chaos as the Jones Fire in New Jersey rips through neighborhoods. The fire was last estimated at 3,200 acres. This is insane Fire behavior for New Jersey, or just about anywhere. Good luck to anyone in there trying to fight that thing. This is just crazy.
