Wallow Fire Report – June 19

Today is the first day that we haven’t seen either fire or smoke or both from the Wallow Fire. [...]

Wallow Fire and the Eagle Creek Watershed

Eagle Creek watershed is mostly intact – so far. Only the upper reaches have had the Wallow fire on them. Even so we will be impacted. [...]

Will Monsoons Bring Relief, or Another Disaster?

Monsoon Rain Needed to Quench Wallow Fire

The Wallow fire is partially under control and already the Forest Service and other agencies are preparing for the next disaster – massive floods. Everyone has been advised to buy flood insurance immediately. With all the vegetation burned away in such a huge area, there is nothing [...]

Wind and the Wallow Fire

Wind Blown Willow and Barn

June 18

I was hoping to have nothing but good news on the Wallow fire. But I guess I was ahead of myself. The fire is 500,000+ acres with 44% containment. We still have no rain in the 10-day forecast and now there is another issue. Winds are [...]

Wallow Fire on the San Carlos Reservation and Rose Peak

The Wallow fire is up to over 408,000 acres with 5% containment. Here at the Double Circle not too much changed today. The smoke from the fire was intense until late morning – the wind didn’t start blowing until 10:30 or [...]
