Significant progress was made on mop-up and containment of fires from last week.

Containment for the Cottonwood Creek Fire has reached 95% on the 159-acre fire, according to an Oregon Department of Forestry press release. The fire transitioned to a Type 5 incident commander Saturday. One hand crew completed mop-up work, gridding for hot spots.

The 1-acre Dissel Creek Fire, reported Tuesday evening burning 5 miles southeast of John Day, was fully contained late Thursday evening.

The Cole Canyon Fire was fully contained Thursday. The fire burned 150 acres of private land and Prineville Bureau of Land Management ownership.

All of these fires will be placed in patrol status and monitored until determined to be dead out. It is possible interior smoke may be visible. These “smokes” will be put out if they are found to have the potential to spread fire outside the fireline.

A regulated-use closure is in effect for the Central Oregon District to reduce human-caused fires. The full proclamation and restrictions are available at https://gisapps.odf.oregon.gov/firerestrictions/PFR.html.
