 The Larch Creek fire five miles southwest of Dufer was more than 80% contained at last report. There are 33 homes threatened and six other structures have been destroyed. The lead agency is the Oregon Department of Forestry. Due to active wildfires on the Heppner Ranger District compounded by extremely unfavorable weather conditions, limited firefighting resources, and concern for public safety, forest officials on the Umatilla National Forest are temporarily closing the Heppner Ranger District.
