Status June 14, 2025 - Central Oregon — Firefighters successfully held the Ferry Fire fire in its footprint and achieved 43% containment,
despite continued high winds throughout the area yesterday. With more accurate mapping being compiled by resources on the ground
and from the air, the acreage is now at 10,359 acres. 217 firefighting personnel are being supported by the Central Oregon Type 3
Incident Management Team based out of the Sherman County Fairgrounds in Moro, Oregon. Additional private landowners, volunteers
and farmers have significantly contributed to the success of the firefighting efforts, Thank You!

Yesterday firefighters continued to strengthen and construct handline and dozerline as needed to contain the fires edge. Minimal Impact
Suppression Tactics (MIST) are being used in areas along the John Day River Wild and Scenic Corridor to help in minimizing potential
long term effects of fire suppression tactics. Resources who worked through Thursday night rested Friday and will be available to
support this incident and/or other fire needs today.

Today the weather is predicted to be similar to previous days, with temperatures in the mid 70’s and westerly winds. Firefighting
resources will continue mop-up efforts, line construction and strengthening containment lines. Air resources remain available as
needed.

The John Day River will be lifted today. The official order will be posted on the Oregon-Washington Bureau of Land Management
website after final approval. Active water dipping into the river will continue by helicopters as needed. Boaters should not stop or linger
in the active fire zone and follow all directions from on-site fire personnel.

Residents and visitors to the area are encouraged to stay updated and follow any directions from fire personnel in the vicinity.

Status ROWENA FIRE MORNING UPDATE 6/14/25
Rowena, Ore. – Incident priorities remain unchanged today as firefighters continue making steady progress on the Rowena Fire.

Despite sustained winds reaching up to 30 mph overnight, crews had a productive shift. Night operations focused on prepping line
along the west and southwest portions of the fire, while patrol and mop-up continued in the southern areas. Fire activity flared up in the
northern interior but was successfully extinguished and contained.

Today, crews will continue patrolling and mopping up along the perimeter, while line construction resumes in the southwest to clean up
remaining edges. Removing hazard trees remains a top priority, especially along Highway 30 and I-84, where steep terrain and swirling
winds pose safety concerns.

Structural resources remain engaged as the Oregon State Fire Marshal begins adjusting its response in line with the decreasing threat
to homes.

“As the scope and scale of the fire decrease, we’re adjusting our resources to ensure our workforce continues to align with OSFM’s
mission of structural protection. We’re incredibly grateful for the dedication of our crews and look forward to seeing them return home
safely to rest and prepare for what’s ahead,”

– Kelly Zakrzewski, Chief of Operations, OSFM

Crews will continue mop-up operations and tactical patrols around previously threatened structures. OSFM will maintain a presence
until there is full confidence that the threat to structures has been mitigated.

Winds remain a key factor today. While slightly lighter than yesterday, breezy conditions persist with west-northwest winds ranging from
8–20 mph and gusts up to 33 mph on ridges and upper slopes. Highs are expected in the upper 70s.

“Tomorrow will be the least windy day of the week, but we trade that for even warmer temperatures and lower relative humidities,”
– Tom Schuldt, Incident Meteorologist

The drop in wind speeds today will improve helicopter support, allowing for more precise water drops on hotspots within the fire
perimeter.

Level 1, 2 and 3 evacuations remain in effect under the Wasco County Sheriff’s Office’s direction. You can search for specific addresses

The Red Cross shelter remains open at The Dalles Middle School at 1100 East 12th Street. Livestock and horses can be taken to the
Wasco County Fairgrounds at 81849 Fairgrounds Road.

I-84 remains open, however firefighters are continuing to work near the roadway; be aware of crews when driving through the area.

Closures: Due to the fires, Mayer State Park is closed to the public. More information is available here:
https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=117

Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR): A “TFR” is in place at an altitude from the surface up to and including 6500 feet, daily (24 hours)
until further notice. Complete information is available at https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=detail_5_2600. Flying a drone near or around a
wildfire compromises the safety of pilots and interferes with firefighting efforts.
