The Bedrock Fire burning in the Willamette National Forest is now listed at 30,300 acres.

Pacific Northwest Incident Management Team 2 took command of the fire Sunday morning.

On the northwest side of the fire, crews are securing previous firing operations and will conduct more firing operations as needed when conditions are favorable. Crews will continue to look for direct and indirect line options. On the northeast side of the fire, lines are being held and cleaned up and interior unburned islands are being monitored. The southwest corner continues to be the most challenging for firefighters, but the Crane Valley Hotshots were able to tie off the corner and connect it to the “boot” on the southern edge. Crews located and were able to extinguish hot spots in this area.

The Bedrock Fire is thirty-five percent contained. Nine hundred twenty-eight people are assigned to the fire. Bedrock Fire updates are linked: https://www.facebook.com/BedrockFire2023
