Latest update
The Bridge Fire was reported on 9/3/2025 at 10:29 pm on the Malheur National Forest, within the Blue Mountain Ranger District. The fire is located approximately 9.9 miles northeast of Prairie City, near Dixie Lookout.
Fire crews are actively engaged in suppression efforts, with additional resources enroute to assist. The fire is burning in timber and brush within a steep, and roadless area. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time. Due to the steep, rugged terrain in which the fire is located and the large amount of heavy, down and dead fuels present, the fire will remain on the landscape until a season ending event such as heavy rain or snow. Firefighters will work to limit the spread of the fire and protect values at risk while accounting for public and firefighter safety.
Motorists traveling along Highway 26 could see increased traffic and visible smoke, as firefighting operations continue.
