innovative work using wood

The Oregon Torrefaction
Project will convert for-
est wastes to a low-carbon
product that can be used to
heat and power homes and
businesses. Processing in
John Day will create access
to rural jobs and reduce

Lightning may have
sparked North Fork ire
Blue Mountain Eagle
PENDLETON — A one-
acre wildfire was detected
last Wednesday afternoon
in a remote area of the
North Fork John Day Wil-
derness northeast of Rabbit
Butte, according to Andrew
Stinchfield, fire manage-
ment officer for the North
Fork John Day Ranger
District.
The fire, located seven
miles northwest of Granite,
is believed to be sparked by
a lightning storm that passed
through the area on April 29.
No structures, improve-
ments or private land are
threatened by the fire. Be-
cause of the remote loca-
tion, predicted rainfall in the
forecast and numerous haz-
ards to firefighters, the fire
was monitored and managed
indirectly.
