Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 10 (NW Team 10), under the leadership of Incident Commander Steve North, joined a Unified Command of the Cram Fire with the Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) Green Team at 6 a.m. today. NW Team 10 spent the day shadowing their counterparts from the High Desert Type 3 Incident Management Team yesterday to ensure a seamless transition and continued coordination with the OSFM Green Team. This effort is part of a strong interagency partnership among local, state, and federal responders working together to protect lives, property, and natural resources.
The northern part of the fire, along Oregon Route 293, exhibited decreased fire activity yesterday, allowing firefighters to continue securing the line, mopping up hot spots and patrolling in that area. In anticipation of today’s Red Flag Warning, crews focused on structure protection, and aviation operations continued in areas of increased heat. On the southern portion of the fire, heavy equipment was utilized to complete and connect unfinished fire lines. During the night shift, two additional strike teams of engines patrolled and mopped up to ensure those lines held through the night while personnel further bolstered structure protection.
