Fire Burns Area West Of Maupin

Fire burned a three-to-four acre area west of Maupin on Smock Road on Tuesday afternoon.  The fire was reported at around 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, but was brought under control a couple of hours later.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office said the fire forced a Level 3 evacuation advisory soon after the fire was reported due to strong winds in the area, but that was removed fairly soon afterward.  A Level 2 evacuation advisory in the immediate vicinity of the fire remained in place overnight as a precaution, but that was lifted Wednesday morning.  Crews from Wamic, Dufur, Juniper Flats, Tygh Valley, the Oregon Department of Forestry, and the U.S. Forest Service responded to this fire.
