Fire at a Glance
"There is still a lot of work to be done on these fires" said Operations Section Chief Rick Harvey during the morning briefing. Firefighting resources will be actively mopping up the three original fires that made up the Complex, Haystack, Throop, and Steet. Extinguishing all fire within 300 feet of the fire edge has been the mop-up standard set by the Oregon Department of Forestry's Central Oregon District as sufficient to ensure that these fires will not threaten their containment lines.
A new fire, the 55 acre Hog Ridge Fire will be managed by resources from the Haystack Complex. First job on this incident will be reinforce the established fire line and then to begin mopping up to secure these lines. Today 48 firefighters are assigned to this fire.
Two initial attack task forces have been identified to assist local firefighters as new fires show themselves from yesterday's lightning. Any new fire has a chance to grow big fast as Fire Behavior Analyst, Boone Zimmerlee noted the "aggressive fire behavior, like Hog Ridge, these fires can really get up and run." Task forces will be made up of a crew, dozer, and two engines. A Red Flag Warning continues over the fire area until Saturday at 11 p.m. for thunderstorms with abundant lightning and hot and dry conditions.
The Haystack Fire is located 3 miles northeast of Spray and is currently mapped at 1,155 acres. The Throop Fire located about 3 miles northeast of Dayville is mapped at 490 acres. The Steet Fire located 7 miles northeast of Monument is mapped at 50 acres.
