ODF assists on Braymill fire in Klamath Basin

May 17, 2012

Resources from the ODF Klamath-Lake District were among the interagency response to the Braymill fire, reported Wednesday afternoon burning northeast of Chiloquin in Klamath County on a mix of private and federal forest lands.

The South Central Oregon Fire Management Partnership reported Wednesday the fire burned over 17 acres and is believed to have started from an unmonitored burn barrel. Two historic buildings at the Bray Mill Fish Hatchery were destroyed before the fire burned onto the Fremont-Winema National Forest and into a unit of the Chiloquin Community Fuels Project.

Fire suppression efforts on this incident include resources from the Oregon Department of Forestry, USFS Fremont-Winema National Forest, Lakeview District of the Bureau of Land Management, Chiloquin/Agency Lake Rural Fire Protection District, Klamath County Fire District 1 and the Keno Fire Department.

Additional information regarding the fire is being coordinated and released by the Fremont-Winema National Forest.
