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
