Historic structure protection nears completion: Log Fire Update–September 10th, 2025

The Log Fire saw minimal growth the last two days due to widespread rain showers. On Monday morning before the storm arrived helicopters dropped water near Hancock Creek to slow the fire’s spread. Monday evening through Tuesday the fire saw widespread rain showers from a regional low pressure system moderating fire behavior.  Larger fuels such as logs or stumps will continue to hold heat. Helicopters remain available to help firefighters as weather conditions allow and the storm clears.

Firefighters will continue to work along the Wooley Creek drainage to protect historic structures, including the Wooley Creek Cabins and English Peak Lookout.  When wrapping structures, crews use structural wrap with an aluminum component which reflects over 95 percent of radiant heat and prevents the structure’s surface from reaching an ignition temperature. The fabric also provides thermal insulation, further protecting the structure from intense heat of wildfire. The wrap helps block airborne embers and other burning debris from passing through vents and openings in the building, which can otherwise cause ignition.

Two Wildfire Use Modules will remain in Wooley Creek to wrap the remaining historic cabins and assess structure protection.

Firefighters neared completion of clearing Wooley Creek Trail that leads to the historic Wooley Creek Cabins. Due to the predicted moisture, firefighters paused work and will resume when conditions allow. Trail clearing will allow pack mules easier access if called upon to help with transporting firefighting supplies.
