Wildfire Status:

The Homestead Complex, a series of wildfires ignited by lightning on July 19, 2024, is currently active in southern Oregon, approximately thirty miles northeast of Glide. The complex includes several fires: Bullpup, Fuller Lake, Horse Heaven Creek, Lost Bucket, No Man, Reynolds Butte, and Salmon 33. As of the latest update, approximately 35% of the fire's perimeter has been contained. The Umpqua National Forest has taken command of the incident and will provide significant updates as necessary, following a transfer of command at 6 PM on October 9, 2024.

In response to the fire, firefighting agencies have been actively engaged in containment efforts. Firefighting resources have included personnel from local, state, and federal agencies, focusing on critical areas to prevent further spread. Due to safety concerns, emergency closure orders have been implemented for certain Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Umpqua National Forest lands. The public is advised to stay informed about these closures and to check official sources for the most current information.

Weather conditions play a crucial role in fire management efforts. Recent storms in the area have contributed to the initial ignition of the fire, and ongoing weather patterns may affect firefighting strategies. Dry and windy conditions can exacerbate fire behavior, so crews are closely monitoring weather forecasts as they strategize their containment efforts. Additionally, air quality indices are being tracked to ensure the safety of nearby communities and responders.

For ongoing updates, the public can refer to resources such as the incident website, where they can find information on air quality, closures, maps, and other important announcements regarding the Homestead Complex.
