SPECIAL NOTE: The Middle Fork Type 3 Team transferred command to a local Type 4 Incident Commander on Tuesday, Oct 7, 2025 at 8 a.m. 

BACKGROUND: The lightning-caused Emigrant Fire was reported on Aug. 24, 2025. The fire ignited in a remote area 3 miles southwest of Indigo Springs Campground. The fire spread rapidly through the 2009 Tumblebug Fire burn scar, which has many standing and fallen dead trees plus dense brush, and few opportunities for direct control of the fire.  Indirect control lines were established around the fire, many along roads or in locations previously used by the Tumblebug Fire. The fire reached some containment lines, but growth of the fire largely stopped due to a combination of recent rainfall and suppression activities.

ABOUT THE FOREST:  The Willamette National Forest is 1,675,407 acres in size. The varied landscape of high mountains, narrow canyons, cascading streams, and wooded slopes offer excellent opportunities for visitors and make the Forest valuable for many purposes.

The Willamette National Forest is easily accessed from the Willamette Valley cities of Salem, Albany, and Eugene. Four important highways-U.S. Route 20 and Oregon State Routes 22, 58, and 126-cross the Forest. Two National Scenic Byways, McKenzie Pass – Santiam Pass National Scenic Byway and the West Cascades National Scenic Byway take visitors on a tour of tall forests and sparkling water. Over 6,000 miles of road on the Forest offer a chance to get off the beaten path.
