Central Oregon Fire Update
PRINEVILLE, Ore.
– Parts of Central Oregon received much needed rain this afternoon in a
storm that also brought 22 lightning strikes (as of 4:35 pm. PST) to the
Sisters and Cascade Lakes area. Firefighters are currently responding to two
smoke reports, one is the Black Fly Fire (Incident #330) five miles west of
Squaw Creek. This is an Oregon Department of Forestry fire and is currently
1/10 of an acre. The second smoke report (Incident #331) is by Anns Butte, two
miles southwest of Sunriver. The rain is expected to play a positive role in
both incidents in helping firefighters keep fires small and mop up any hot
spots.
There are no current updates on the Corner Creek Fire, 11 miles south of
Dayville.
As a reminder, several closures are still in place for the Corner Creek
Fire including an Ochoco National Forest area closure and the South Fork
Road/Co. Rd. 42 which is closed to the general public from near Dayville to
south of the US Forest Service 58 Road junction due to fire activity. To read
the entire closure order and view a map of the area closure, please visit the
Ochoco National Forest website at http://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/ochoco/alerts-notices
Information about the Sugarloaf and Corner Creek Fires, managed by the
Oregon Department of Forestry Team 1, can be found at http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/
