FIRES ON OREGON DEPT. OF FORESTRY-PROTECTED LANDS
The 300-acre Stagecoach Road Fire was reported mid-afternoon Monday burning on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and Walker Range Forest Protective Association lands (WRPA) on the east side of Highway 97 about eight miles north of Gilchrist. Five air tankers (two ODF and three federal) dropped 20 loads of fire retardant on the fire. Two subdivisions were evacuated last evening and one structure, a cabin, was destroyed. The evacuation order was later lifted. The fire is now fully lined. It also burned about 20 acres of private lands in WRPA jurisdiction. The U.S. Forest Service’s Crescent Ranger District is the lead agency managing the fire.
