The episode as NWS PDT wrote it up.
Oregon Incident Management Team #1 (Oregon Team 1) is turning management of the Shaniko Butte Fire over to a Type 3 Team headed by Arlando Leyva at 6:00 a.m. Saturday morning. |The fire is 90% contained, and there are no visible smokes within 300 feet or more inside of the fire perimeter. Any hot spots that remain are well within the interior of the fire. |The Type 3 Team has 206 personnel assigned to manage final mop-up and rehab of the fire area. Helicopters are available if needed from Warm Springs Fire Management and the Logging Unit Complex helibase in Madras. |The Temporary Flight Restriction over the fire area has been lifted.|As interest in the fire wanes, along with the smoke and flame, the fire website, http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/3960/ , will no longer be maintained by the Team, nor will updates be posted around the community or via e-mail.|Oregon Team 1 would like to thank the people of the Warm Springs area for their support and encouragement during the Shaniko Butte Fire. The appreciation expressed by the people in and around Warm Springs helped boost firefighter morale, and the hospitality of the community made the team feel welcome. While we are saddened by the loss of Hermie Boyd’s home on the day before we arrived, we are grateful that no additional homes were lost in spite of quick fire spread and the proximity of many homes and other structures. The successful suppression of the Shaniko Butte Fire is due in large part to the teamwork of many agencies and to the support of the people in the Warm Springs area. Thank you.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...A PACIFIC SYSTEM,
ROUGHLY NEAR 44N/127W, WILL DRIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS NORTHWEST OREGON
INTO WEST-CENTRAL WASHINGTON TONIGHT. ENERGY FROM THIS SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO INTERACT WITH SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE PRODUCING ISOLATED TO

CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON, AND EAST ACROSS NORTHEAST AND
EAST-CENTRAL OREGON LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. CENTRAL
OREGON WILL SEE AN END TO THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT BY MIDNIGHT.
STORMS SO FAR HAVE PRODUCED A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH OF RAIN, BUT
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MOISTEN WITH TIME. SHEAR REMAINS IN THE 45-55
KT RANGE OVER CENTRAL OREGON. AS SUCH LOCALLY STRONG STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN THIS AREA, WHILE A STRAY SEVERE STORM CAN NOT BE
COMPLETELY RULED OUT. THE MAIN CONCERN WITH STRONG STORMS WILL BE
THE WIND GUSTS. MAINLY ISOLATED COVERAGE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
PERSIST LATE TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING ACROSS OUR WASHINGTON
ZONES AND INTO NORTHEAST OREGON. DRY AIR WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE

CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE AREA WITH HOT TEMPERATURES AND PROGRESSIVE
NORTHWEST FLOW FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE EXTENDED. OVERALL EXPECT

ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS. SURFACE GRADIENTS LOOK TO PICK UP ON
THURSDAY EVENING...WHICH COULD RESULT IN BREEZY TO WINDY CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE GORGE AND THE LOWER COLUMBIA BASIN. THERE IS THE
POSSIBILITY OF A DISTURBANCE CLIPPING THE AREA ON SATURDAY AS
WELL...WHICH WOULD BRING AN INCREASE IN WINDS AND POSSIBLY LOWERING
TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID TO UPPER 80S. PRECIPITATION SEEMS TO
STILL BE LACKING WITH THIS SYSTEM...SO EXPECT THAT IT WOULD STILL BE
MOSTLY DRY THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. DO TO UNCERTAINTY IN THE
MODELS FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE WITH A MORE PERSISTENT FORECAST THAT
SUPPORTS A CONTINUED UPPER LEVEL RIDGE UNTIL TIMING AND MODEL
CONTINUITY IMPROVE. WEBER
AVIATION...00Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24
HOURS WITH POSSIBLE BRIEF MVFR PERIODS DUE TO -TSRA OVER THE NEXT
12-18 HOURS. EXPECT THAT CIGS WILL RANGE FROM 8-12KFT...AND MAY
DROP AS LOW AS 5KFT UNDER THUNDERSTORMS. WIND WILL GENERALLY BE
10-15KTS...WITH ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS 25-45KTS POSSIBLE UNDER
THUNDERSTORMS. HAVE KEPT MENTION OF VCTS AS CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO BE CERTAIN OF PREVAILING -TSRA. WILL AMEND TAFS AS NEEDED
