ODF IMT2 plans to transfer command of the fire to a local Central Oregon Fire Management Service Type 4 team at 6 a.m. Thursday morning. This will be ODF IMT2’s last update. Crews today will finish removing equipment and supplies from the fire line and continue mop up by carrying out a final grid search to extinguish heat 300’ or less inside the fire line. A regional Burned Area Emergency Response Team (BAER) will work with the local Type 4 team to assess the areas affected and develop a plan for suppression repair on federal lands while ODF will do suppression repair on ODF protected lands. We would like to thank the community for remaining vigilant and for obeying forest closures and fire restrictions put into place on the Deschutes National Forest and the Ochoco National Forest, Crooked River National Grassland.
