Wildfire Status:

The Two Cabin Fire, located approximately four miles northeast of Monument, Oregon, has burned an estimated 251 acres and is currently only 5% contained. The fire, which started on September 3, 2024, is actively growing and exhibiting significant fire behavior, including flanking, backing, and isolated torching. The surrounding terrain is conducive to further fire spread, necessitating ongoing vigilance from firefighting teams.

A total of 147 personnel are currently engaged in firefighting efforts, which are being managed under the Fossil Complex by the Oregon Department of Forestry Incident Management Team 2. Planned actions for the coming days include scouting potential containment lines, constructing and holding fire lines, and conducting burnout operations where conditions permit. Fire crews are also prioritizing structure protection to safeguard nearby homes and properties.

Current weather conditions are posing challenges to firefighting efforts. A ridge of high pressure has resulted in hot and dry conditions, with temperatures reaching into the mid-80s to mid-90s and humidity levels dropping to the low teens. This weather pattern is creating critical fire weather conditions, particularly during the afternoons. While a subtle disturbance may bring a slight chance of rain over the weekend, the overall forecast remains dry, highlighting the need for continuous monitoring and active firefighting strategies.
