The Willow Fire has grown to 4,403 acres, burning on Prineville District BLM and private land in Crook County. Firefighters have constructed fire line around the majority of the fire, including the head of the fire on the east side of Buck Creek to prevent further movement to the southeast onto more private land and the Malheur National Forest. The Willow Fire is 0% contained.The Central Oregon Type 3 Incident Management Team under the command of Adam Barnes is now in command of the Willow Fire as of yesterday at 3:00 p.m. There was minimal activity on the fire yesterday and with favorable weather today, BLM and USFS engines, dozers and skidgens, along with Brothers-Hampton Rangeland Fire Protection Association (RFPA) resources will focus on completing fire line construction and to begin securing the fire perimeter and mopping up where possible.
