Fires burn 9,000 acres By Brian Mortcnscn Spilyiiy Tymoo Almost 9,000 acres of rangcland, but no houses, burned in five fires on the Warm Springs Reservation from July 19 to Monday, Au gust 1. The 6,000-acre McKinley fire started near the intersec tion of I lighway 3 and Wolfe Point Road on Monday. "It was moving from northwest to southeast," said Ken Lydy, assistant Fire Man agement officer. "A major ef fort went in to protecting those homes. A couple houses were right in there, but we were able to protect the homes." I le said fire fighters from Warm Springs and Jefferson County were called on to pro tect the five houses either in the fire's path or at its perim eter. Lydy said two crews and eight engines were battling die McKinley lire, which started in early afternoon Monday and picked up speed with a southerly wind. The McKinley Fire was the largest of the five fires that blazed inside the reser vation boundary within the two-week period. The Wolfe Point fire, near the Wolfe Point Road Webster Mat Road junction, burned 4,200 acres July 20. The Schoolic Rim (1,270 acres), Shitike Creek (412), and Rattlesnake Springs (1280 acres) northeast of Kah-Ncc-Ta all started July 23 and were subsequently controlled. In addition, a couple smaller fires in Charley Can yon north of Kah-Nec-Ta and in the Bear Drive area near Warm Springs had started but were quickly put out By Tuesday, the McKinley fire had "calmed down pretty much over Monday night," Lydy said. "That's normal for them," he said. "We just have to watch it with the heat of the day fTuesday)." No houses were evacu ated among the residents in the vicinity of the McKinley Fire, which was sparked just soudieast of where the Wolfe Point Fire started 13 days prior. Lydy said engines from Bend and Prineville were in action Tuesday, as were crews from Eugene and Redmond. See FIRES on page 10 George Picard Sr. passed away July 27, 2005. lie was 69.
