    Firefighters successfully held the Ferry Fire fire in its footprint and achieved 43% containment, despite continued high winds throughout the area yesterday.

    With more accurate mapping being compiled by resources on the ground and from the air, the acreage is now at 10,359 acres.

    217 firefighting personnel are being supported by the Central Oregon Type 3 Incident Management Team based out of the Sherman County Fairgrounds in Moro, Oregon.

    Yesterday firefighters continued to strengthen and construct handline and dozerline as needed to contain the fires edge. Minimal Impact Suppression Tactics (MIST) are being used in areas along the John Day River Wild and Scenic Corridor to help in minimizing potential long term effects of fire suppression tactics. Resources who worked through Thursday night rested Friday and will be available to support this incident and/or other fire needs today.

    Today the weather is predicted to be similar to previous days, with temperatures in the mid 70’s and westerly winds. Firefighting resources will continue mop-up efforts, line construction and strengthening containment lines. Air resources remain available as needed.
