According to Central Oregon Fire, as of 8:30 p.m. Monday, the fire had reached around 3,000 acres total, however, that was later lowered to only 1,776 acres due to “more accurate mapping.”
Some structures are currently threatened, officials said; however, no evacuations or closures are in place as of Tuesday morning.
The fire, which is at zero percent containment, has been burning grass, brush and scattered timber since it started on Sunday afternoon. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
On Monday afternoon, helicopters used water from the John Day River to help fight the fire, cautioning boaters in the area to watch out for helicopters dipping in the water.
