Status 10/07/2025 Update
No further updates unless significant activity occurs.

The Middle Fork Type 3 Team transitioned command of the fire to a local Type 4 Incident Commander (IC) this morning at 8 a.m. Written
updates will no longer be produced unless significant activity were to occur. The Emigrant Fire specific phone number and email will no
longer be active or monitored, please note the change in contact information above.
The Emigrant Fire was started by lightning on August 24th, approximately 24 miles SE of Oakridge. An infrared flight mapped the fire last
night, Oct 6th, and it is currently 33,129-acres and remains 62% contained. Most of the resources have been released leaving only 39
personnel assigned as of Oct 7th with more headed home over the next couple days. A few engines and firefighters will remain assigned and
continue to patrol the fire perimeter daily and closely monitor areas of heat. All suppression repair work and backhaul has been completed.
Firefighter and public safety remain our top priority, and we ask that hunters and recreationalists please be aware that fire related activities
continue in and around the area of the Emigrant Fire. A fire related Forest closure remains in place that encompasses the affected area and
the associated Forest Service Roads. Please know before you go and check for the most up to date closures and restrictions prior to
entering the Forest.
Weather and Smoke: After a high of over 80 degrees today, the weather is expected to cool back down to the mid-60’s during the days,
remaining in the mid-40’s at night. Wet weather is predicted to return starting Wednesday night and continuing into the weekend.
Smoke production will continue as long as interior pockets of heavy ground fuels are smoldering and smoke could settle into nearby valleys
and drainages overnight. Smoke and air quality information is available at https://www.oregonsmoke.org/.
Closures: An Emigrant Fire related Forest closure remains in place. When visiting the Forest please check for the latest restrictions and
closures at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r06/willamette/fire.

Status 10/05/2025 Update
The Foley Ridge Fire is 79% contained. This will be the final regularly scheduled written update. Additional information will be shared if any
significant changes or activities occur.
Current Situation: The McKenzie River Type 3 Incident Management Team remains in command of the incident. Equipment and firefighting
personnel continue work along the shaded fuel break and on suppression repair. As these efforts are completed, resources are being
released to assist with other incidents or to return home.
Local Resource Advisors from the Willamette National Forest continue to oversee progress on the shaded fuel break and suppression repair
operations. They work closely with crews and equipment operators to ensure all work meets the Forest’s specifications. Supplies and
equipment continue to be backhauled off the fire and returned to the cache to be cleaned and refurbished for future use.
Recent precipitation across the fire area has greatly reduced residual heat within the fire perimeter. Firefighters will continue to monitor for
hotspots and visible smoke, and conduct mop-up operations as needed.
Equipment and firefighting personnel remain in the area. Please drive cautiously and be aware of crews and vehicles slowing down to enter
and exit off the road systems.
Weather: Warmer and drier conditions have returned, with temperatures forecasted to reach the upper 70s through midweek and gusty
winds expected through Monday evening. Despite drier weather, further fire growth is unlikely. Another round of precipitation is forecasted to
arrive late in the week.
Road Closure Update: Foley Ridge Road remains closed. Highway 242 (McKenzie Highway) is open. For the current status of Highway 242,
please visit tripcheck.com.
Forest Closure Update: The Willamette National Forest has reduced an emergency closure order for the Foley Ridge Fire, which was
reported Sept. 6, 2025, on the McKenzie River Ranger District. The closure order, which is for public and firefighter safety, has been modified
to provide increased access thanks to successful efforts by firefighters to mitigate hazards and complete contingency fire lines. The closure
order is in effect Sept. 29, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2025, unless modified or rescinded sooner.

Status 10/15/2025 Update
Recent snow continues to melt under sunny skies and warmer daytime temperatures. Smoldering fuels visible during aerial patrols signaled
the onset of drying conditions though many roads remained inaccessible due to snow, especially at higher elevations.
Smoke was visible in the Devil’s Gulch and Bear Creek areas where firefighters mopped up the fire’s edge and patrolled for fire activity. Heat
was also visible on the north side, where the fire continues to hold between Ingalls Creek and Etienne Creek. South
of Windmill Point, engines monitored the road systems and on the western side of the fire, crews removed structure protection wrap, hose,
and other equipment that is no longer needed.

Today crews will continue mop up and suppression repair work where possible given ongoing weather-related access challenges. Structure
protection crews will continue working in communities near the fire, where suppression repair work needs completed, and engines
will continue patrolling the Valley Hi area overnight. The recent/predicted weather, current fire activity, and work accomplished by firefighters
will lead to resources being released as objectives are met. Firefighters will be pulling hose, pumps, and other
excess equipment and helicopters will aid in hauling that equipment out of the fire area.

Status 10/14/2025 Update
Updates for the Lower Sugarloaf Fire will be produced every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Current Situation: Unauthorized vehicles in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest closure are a major safety concern for fire personnel on
the Lower Sugarloaf Fire. Please check closure maps before heading to the woods near the Lower Sugarloaf Fire or any fire areas. Some
roads into the closure have barricades and signs, but the lack of signage or a barricade moved off of the road does not mean that a road is
open for public use.
Heavy equipment is concentrating on low elevation road repairs. Graders and excavators need plenty of room to work, often creating large
piles of rock and soil on the road as they cut and redistribute the surfacing materials, removing ruts and potholes. Fire personnel appreciate
the public’s help by obeying the closure order.
Yesterday, fire managers scouted the Upper Sugarloaf Fire and found the snow level had fallen to around 3,500 feet. Lower elevations on the
fire were covered by 1” to 2” of snow, while high elevations had over 6” of snow. All areas of the fire were estimated to have received 0.25” to
0.5” of precipitation.
Some resources assigned to the Lower Sugarloaf Fire were staged Monday morning in safe locations while road conditions were checked and
work opportunities identified. As roads dried out, heavy equipment moved into position and worked on repairing low-elevation roads. Most
areas needing repair by hand crews remained inaccessible due to snow and slick roads.
Today’s dry weather is expected to make more roads safe to use. Repair work will continue on the lowest roads and resources will shift to
higher elevations as road conditions improve.

Status 10/15/2025 Update
CURRENT STATUS: As of 6:00 PM yesterday, Nevada Type 3 Incident Management Team #4 and Incident Commander
Daniel Gallagher have assumed command of the Moon Complex. Containment is now 34%. Firefighters are actively
engaged in suppression repair along several roads and fire lines. These efforts are critical to preventing sediment
from impacting the tributaries of the Rogue River to preserve water quality and habitat. As containment increases,
crews are removing and backhauling fire suppression equipment from several areas of the fire.
Along Bear Camp Road, many large-diameter trees have been severely weakened by the fire, posing a significant risk
of falling without warning. Crews are actively assessing and removing any hazardous trees that may impact road
access and public safety. Meanwhile, crews continue to make steady progress on suppression repair work around
Paradise Lodge at the north end of the fire.
WEATHER: Warmer and drier days with off shore winds will continue this week but are not expected to be enough to
dry out fuels in the fire area or increase fire activity noticeably.
EVACUATIONS: FIRE EVACUATION LEVEL DECREASED: Evacuation levels have been decreased from Level 2 to Level 1
for Agness and the surrounding area. The area along the 33 road from Spud Road to the 3318, previously in Level 2,
was removed due to no fire danger in that area. The Level 1 area of Marial and Rogue River Ranch was removed, due
to no fire danger at this time in that area. For current evacuation levels, visit: https://bit.ly/MoonComplexEvacs
CLOSURES: The Emergency Area and Road Closure on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest was revised, reducing
the area closure and opening up several key travel routes to the public, including Agness Road (FSR 33) between
Agness and Powers, OR, and Burnt Ridge Road (FSR 2308) between Merlin and Agness, OR, and Eden Valley Road
(FSR 3348). Bear Camp Road remains closed. This closure is being reassessed for safe reopening on a regular basis as
work to mitigate fire-related hazards is completed. The Rogue River Trail remains closed from Marial to Foster Bar.

Status 10/07/2025 Update

Current situation: Firefighters have been successful protecting private residences and other infrastructure along the lakeshore and within the
Goose Prairie and Highway 410 areas. There has been low to moderate fire activity over the last several days, the increase in fire acreage is
mainly due to firing operations to strengthen containment lines. Firefighters have begun fire line repairs backhauling excess equipment along
the lakeshore and contingency lines south and west of the fire.

Today’s Activities: Firefighters will continue to patrol the fire lines near Bumping Lake, Goose Prairie, and Highway 410 and check for any hot
spots that may threaten containment lines. Suppression repair activities will continue, and crews will work to complete remaining brush piling
and repair of roads damaged by fire-related traffic. In Division Alpha and Whiskey, the fire is in patrol status and in Division Romeo
firefighters are working with aerial resources on the fire in the vicinity of American Ridge. Aircraft will continue to support suppression and
mop-up operations with reconnaissance flights to check for fire activity and helicopters will also be used to backhaul excess equipment from
remote locations.

** Transfer of command of the fire to a local Naches Ranger District’s Type 4 incident management organization will take place Wednesday,
October 8 at 830 p.m. and Thursday will be the last day for the Incident Command Post at the Chinook Work Center.

Weather and Fire Activity: With moderate RH recoveries overnight combined with clear skies in the afternoon, the fire may experience
moderate fire behavior in the NE section of American Ridge. Mostly sunny with a high near 70. Chance of wetting rain is 0%. Moderate fire
spread expected. Fire behavior will be flanking, backing and creeping affected by east afternoon winds.
