Evacuation notices lifted, rain aids in mop up

MITCHELL, Ore. – All evacuation notices associated with the Shoe Fly Fire have been cancelled by Wheeler County Sheriff, Emergency Management and the Fire Defense Board Chief as of Wednesday morning. The fire continues to hold within containment lines.

Rain and thunderstorms passed over the fire area on Wednesday and overnight into Thursday, dropping nearly a quarter inch of rain. This rain was beneficial in some parts of the fire but may not have penetrated the canopy or through the thick duff layer in other areas. Through the mop up process, firefighters will be looking for smoldering fire in the duff and under other hot spots.
