Wildfire Status:
The Courtrock Fire, which ignited on July 21, 2024, due to a lightning strike, has shown significant progress in containment efforts, currently standing at 97% containment. The fire is situated south of Monument and west of Long Creek, covering an area of approximately 20,019 acres. Full suppression tactics are being utilized to manage the fire's activity. Fortunately, evacuations for the affected regions have been lifted, allowing residents to return home safely.
Fire agencies are actively engaged in suppression operations, and to ensure public safety, certain areas around the fire have been closed. The Malheur National Forest has implemented an area closure within the Blue Mountain Ranger District to facilitate these operations. Fire managers continue to advise the public to adhere to fire restrictions and prevention tips provided by the Oregon Department of Forestry to mitigate future wildfire risks.
Weather conditions have played a role in fire management, with predictions indicating that current wildfires in the Pacific Northwest, including the Courtrock Fire, may persist until the region receives significant rainfall. Isolated storms with gusty winds and occasional lightning are expected, which could impact fire activity. Firefighters remain vigilant, monitoring the situation closely as they work to secure the perimeter and ensure the safety of surrounding communities.
