Umatilla County, Ore. — Ground resources from the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Northeast Oregon District, U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) will continue mop up operations today around the perimeter of the Juniper Canyon Fire. The fire is estimated to be 9,907 acres and is 50% contained. 

 

Minimal fire activity from yesterday gave firefighters the opportunity to make significant progress in suppression efforts. With the positive progress made over the last several days, there is no plan for aerial operations today as ground crews continue to work. The weather is expected to remain the same today, which will aid these Type 3 and Type 4 resources in their collective effort toward 100% containment.

Thank you again to our local, state, and federal partners as we continue to work toward our collective goal.
