Halloween may be only two weeks away, but wildfires keep breaking out. Oregon Dept. of Forestry and U.S. Forest Service firefighters, along with private forest landowners, responded Oct. 13 to the 12-acre Rye Ridge Road Fire burning 35 miles north of the community of Enterprise. Four fire engines, two bulldozers and a helicopter with rappellers responded to the fire. It was in mop-up by late afternoon. Resources will remain at the fire through Tuesday and possible the day after. Cause is under investigation.
