Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) responded to two fires Monday, June 27. The first fire occurred on Agness Road around mile marker 30 just after 4 pm. CFPA and the US Forest Service responded with several engines, a helicopter and a bull dozer to help corral the fire. The fire, human-caused, was burning in steep terrain which slowed firefighting efforts, and the fire was contained late in the night at 6 acres. The second fire was reported at around 6 pm in the Lee Valley area off Summerlin Road and was the result of a rekindled debris burn. Thanks to local residents and ranchers who took quick action to contain the fire until fire crews arrived. The fire was stopped at about ¼ acre. CFPA asks everyone to help do their part to prevent wildfires.
