The 50-acre Miranda Fire was reported Thursday afternoon, July 22, burning on U.S. Forest Service lands 10 to 15 miles northeast of Chiloquin. Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) responded with one heavy air tanker and a helicopter. Federal resources at the fire include a heavy air tanker, single-engine air tanker, and a lead plane. Initially, the jurisdiction was uncertain. ODF is providing firefighting resources under the “closest-forces” agreement with sister wildland fire agencies. The fire has since been determined to be burning entirely on Forest Service lands.
