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 10/16/2025 Update
Current Situation: Yesterday’s warmer and sunnier weather allowed additional roads to dry out, providing firefighters with more access to the
fire area. Crews completed suppression repair work and backhauled excess equipment from several areas of the
fire. Helicopters transported sling loads of hose, sprinkler kits, water pumps, and portable water tanks from remote areas of the fire to trucks
in staging areas on the roadways.

Minimal fire behavior is expected today, but heavy fuels will continue to retain heat until multiple wetting rain events occur. Smoke from fire
activity above Etienne Creek will likely be visible from Highway 97, especially in the afternoon after fuels have
had time to dry. Firefighters working to contain previous spot fires east of Mission Creek are being successful and will focus on securing
firelines in Bear Creek and along Mission Creek Road. Crews and equipment will continue suppression repair efforts to
stabilize soils ahead of potential wet weather forecast for this weekend. Firefighters will also continue removing excess hoses, pumps, and
other equipment. Helicopters will continue sling load missions as requested to support fire personnel.

Expect increased fire traffic today on roads near the fire area, especially on Highway 97, and please use caution when driving in the area.

Status 10/16/2025 Update
This will be Northwest Team 2’s last written daily update for the Lower Sugarloaf Fire. Additional updates will be shared if any new or
significant activity occurs. Current information may also be found on the incident website (InciWeb) and Facebook page.
Current Situation: Crews and heavy equipment continue to focus on road and suppression repair, prioritizing the work that needs to be done
on the western flank of the fire footprint before shifting resources to conduct similar tasks on the eastern flank. Firefighters are working as
efficiently as possible while minimizing any potential damage to roads made slick by snow and rain.
Closures remain in effect in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Swakane Unit.
Please continue to respect those closures – unauthorized vehicles can put busy firefighters and heavy equipment in harm’s way while
navigating narrow roads. Graders, excavators and other large suppression equipment have big, hazardous blind spots and need space to
operate safely. Please check closure maps before heading to the woods near the Lower Sugarloaf Fire or any fire areas.
Yesterday, fire personnel completed repair work on the culvert above Dry Creek – a critical project that took multiple operational shifts to
complete. Specialized mechanical equipment continued to work along the ridges and slopes along the northwestern side of the fire.
Resources continue to be right-sized to match the conditions on the landscape and work yet to be completed.
Weather: A cold front rolling in today should mean an increase in winds this afternoon, with gusts up to 25 mph along the ridgetops.
Temperatures are expected to range in the mid 40s to low 50s at higher elevations and mid 50s to mid 60s in the valleys. Relative humidity
will range from 30-40 percent at the lower elevations and 35-45 percent on the ridges, with a minimal chance of precipitation.

Status 10/16/2025 Update
CURRENT STATUS: The Moon Complex is 34% contained. Firefighters continue suppression repair efforts along
several roads and fire lines. Conducting this repair will leave roads in the same or better condition as before the fire,
protecting watersheds and wildlife habitats. The removal of firefighting equipment and gear is ongoing as work is
completed in certain areas. Fire personnel are actively securing the southern edge of the fire.
Heavy equipment and crews are working to identify and remove all fire-damaged trees that pose a threat to Bear
Camp Road. Large, green trees with weakened root systems on both sides of the road can fall at any time, causing
extensive damage to the road and putting motorists at risk. Crews along Panther Ridge and in the river corridor are
progressing with suppression repair efforts.

WEATHER: Warmer and drier days with offshore winds will continue through Saturday but are not expected to be
enough to dry out fuels in the fire area or increase fire activity noticeably. A cold front is forecast to bring
precipitation over the area beginning on Sunday.

EVACUATIONS: Evacuation levels have 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.

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.
