8/16/2020 Mosier Creek Fire Update

 Last night, Mosier Creek Fire crews worked on interior pockets of unburnt fuel within the fire line and continued to fortify the line. Containment increased to 45%.

Today is an active weather day. Red flag warnings for thunderstorms have been issued across the region. High temperatures, gusty winds and potential lightning are possible.

Current evacuation information can be found at:

ODF and OSFM are in unified command. As risks to structures diminish, OSFM will begin planning the transition of structure crews back to their home agencies. ODF will continue to manage the fire after OSFM demobilizes.

We appreciate the gratitude expressed by the community but ask that community members not enter fire camp. Placing signs on the fence around the camp is appropriate.
