Oak Canyon Fire Now 75% Contained

The Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center says the Oak Canyon Fire along the Wasco/Sherman County line north of Highway 216 is now 75% contained.  Acreage is listed at 15,170.  The Wasco County Sheriff’s Office says fire crews have been making significant progress on all fronts.  Hand crews working on the northeast corner of the fire have focused on establishing fire lines and are confident in their work.  The south perimeter of the fire also has good containment thanks to dozer lines that have been put in place.  The Sheriff’s Office says while the fire has not burned any permanent residences, a few outbuildings have sustained damage.  All campgrounds from Maupin to Shears Bridge are now open to overnight camping and recreation.  Recreation and access along the lower access road including Buck Hollow to Max Canyon  opened Thursday morning.  The Sheriff’s Office says evacuation levels remained in place, but will be reevaluated on Thursday.
