Lone Rock Fire Now At 40% Containment

The Lone Rock Fire southeast of Condon is now at 124,556 acres in size, with containment now 40%.  Cooler temperatures and increased cloud cover on Sunday gave firefighters an advantage in securing portions of the south end of the fire.  Crews are looking to secure indirect line with firing operations on the east side of the fire.  Firefighters will also be working directly on the fire’s edge from near Burton Hill south to the Umatilla National Forest boundary.  Incident Commander Ian Yocum told a community meeting in Fossil over the weekend that firefighters have saved a lot of homes, but other had been lost.  He will added that it will be a while until officials can get into those locations and do a complete damage assessment.
