The GC Complex is comprised of two fires, Grouse Mountain and Starvation. There are currently 584 personnel assigned to the complex and resources are being shifted to the areas of most concern as suppression objectives are met on the fires. Firelines have been completed around both fires. Crews will continue to strengthen the lines and mop-up hot spots adjacent to containment lines.
Overall containment has reached 70%.
There is still potential for new fires as thunderstorms move over the fire areas.
Oregon Department of Forestry and the Malheur National Forest, who are working closely with the Oregon Interagency Incident Management Team 4, have identified private property, grazing resources and timber as important resources to protect. Every attempt is being made to minimize impacts to these important resources.
Oregon Department of Forestry and Malheur National Forest Initial Attack crews responded to more than two dozen new incidents on Saturday.
Expect increased fire traffic in John Day and surrounding areas. Use caution and drive with headlights on. Wildlife are moving across the highway as well as in town; please drive defensively. The Strawberry campground and Forest Road 6001 have been re-opened. Magone campground, Forest Service road 36 from County Road 18 to Magone and County Road 32 from Hwy 395 to Magone are anticipated to reopen on Monday.
