MEDFORD, Ore. – The U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region said wildfires in the region will likely burn until fall rain arrives.
NBC5 News asked the public information officer with the Northern Rockies Complex, who is in charge of the Diamond Complex and the Middle Fork Fire, about the agencies plan of action when it comes to the fire fight.
“No the Diamond Complex which consists of 27 individual fires is being managed under a full compression strategy and so that means the goal is to put it out as quickly as safely possible,” said Northern Rockies Complex PIO, Stefani Spencer.
The Middle Fork Fire is also under a full compression strategy. Spencer said crews are prioritizing fires and have received all the resources requested and they will continue to make progress on lining the fires.
