Fanny Fire Update-Wallowa-Whitman National Forest


The Fanny Fire received aggressive initial attack yesterday from two hand crews and four fire engines. Retardant from a "very large air tanker" also helped to slow the fire.
Efforts to achieve full suppression continue today. Ground crews are working to get a line around the fire. They are also seeking & suppressing any small fire spots ahead of the cold front and winds predicted later today. The fire is currently 3-5 acres and located just to the south (within ¼ mile) of the Mt. Fanny communication facilities.
The road to Moss Springs campground / trail head is still open, but drivers should be cautious given elevated traffic related to the Fanny Fire. Please drive slowly and yield to firefighters.
