TLP:GREEN

• Oregon’s largest priorities are the Holiday Farm Fire, the Beachie Creek Fire, and the Riverside Fire.
  • Fire spread has yet to occur due to a strong fire line being held, as such we do not anticipate any supply chain impacts at this time.
• The Beachie Creek Fire and Riverside Fire reside very nearby one another, and could pose a threat to Oregon’s highway system if large fire spread to the west towards Salem OR occurs.
  • The Beachie Creek Fire has closed much of State Route 22, and has the potential for broader impacts with severe western fire spread, although this is highly unlikely.
  • There are no evacuations in Clackamas County. Current evacuation information for Marion County is available here. Evacuation information for Linn County is available here.
• Beachie Creek Fire (193,376 acres, 59% contained): The Beachie Creek Fire is no longer growing at this time, but has been burning since 8/16 on the border of Marion and Linn counties, most drastically impacting the towns of Gates, Mill City, and Lyons OR. Firefighters are reporting less fire behavior around 2/3s of the fire’s edge, and suppression repair work will continue along contingency lines. 
• Riverside Fire (138,004 acres, 57% contained): The Riverside Fire ignited 9/8/2020 and is currently 2 miles SE of Estacada OR, and 30 miles SE of Portland OR. Good progress continues to be made in the last week and will continue along contingency lines.
• Holiday Farm Fire (173,094 acres, 78% contained): The Holiday Farm Fire began 9/7/2020, and evacuation orders are in effect for the communities of Lane County. The Holiday Farm Fire has closed much of I-26. This fire has not grown in acreage in the last 14 days, as firefighters continue to respond to active smoke threats and hold the containment line.

• California continues to fight the August Complex Fire, the Creek Fire, the Glass Fire and the Zogg Fire. All other fires have been contained at this time.
• Glass Fire (66,840 acres, 50% contained): The Glass Fire ignited 9/27/20, and evacuated more than 68,000 citizens in Napa County and Sonoma County. At this time, most evacuees can begin the process of returning home. Crews have experienced moderate fire behavior throughout the night due to poor humidity recovery and above average temperatures at higher elevations.
  • The Glass Fire does not threaten any urban centers or highways, and as such we do not anticipate any supply chain impacts at this time.
• August Complex Fire (1,006,140 acres, 58% contained): The August Complex fire was originally 37 different fires in the Mendocino National Forest, beginning 8/17/20. Although conditions have been favorable to firefighters recently, the fire recently spread across State Route 36 near milepost 56, and continues to spread to the south.
  • Although the smoke from the August Complex fire has spread across the state and poor air quality threatens the health of residents of nearby areas, it is not burning nearby to any urban centers and we do not anticipate any pharma supply chain impacts at this time.
  • Evacuation Orders are currently in effect for parts of Mendocino and Trinity county, and the remaining area along with Humboldt county are under Evacuation Warning.Additional evacuation information can be found here.
• Creek Fire (326,706 acres, 39% contained): The Creek Fire located in Fresno county in the Sierra National Forest has remained stable with the cooler weather setting in. However, Active fire behavior is still being seen.  Many of the evacuation orders to the northwest were lifted, more information available on the Creek Fire interactive map found here.
  • The Creek Fire is located in forested, mountainous area and is not rapidly approach major urban sites, as such we do not anticipate any pharma supply chain impacts at this time.
• Zogg Fire (56,305 acres, 0% contained): The Zogg Fire ignited 9/27/20 in the mountainous region west of Redding and Anderson CA, causing thousands of people were ordered to evacuate their homes. Firefighters are messaging to be aware of fire damaged trees as potential hazards as re-population efforts begin.
  • The Zogg Fire does not threaten any urban centers or highways, and as such we do not anticipate any supply chain impacts at this time.

• At this time, there are no wildfires in Washington being tracked by fire agencies.
