The 30-acre Bologna Canyon Fire reported Tuesday burning on steep terrain nine miles west of Monument in the Central Oregon District is nearly contained. Winds complicated the firefighting effort. The fire is burning in grass, juniper and juniper slash. Resources fighting the fire at the peak of activity included one air tanker, a lead plane (guide to the tankers), two helicopters, four fire engines, a squad of firefighters and a bulldozer. The U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management assisted the Oregon Department of Forestry with aerial and ground firefighting resources. Cause of the fire is under investigation.
