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.
