Sept 22. The Grand Ronde Tribe hosted a fire camp from Sept. 9-18 for the firefighters who battled the blaze in Lincoln County. Approximately 60 community
members and Tribal employees volunteered to help support the camp while it was on the Tribal campus, General Manager David Fullerton said. The wildfire
consumed more than 2,500 acres four miles east of Lincoln City and destroyed 293 residential structures. Rains that fell starting on Sept. 17 helped fire crews
contain the wildfire, which is now 100 percent contained.
