Current Situation:  With increased containment and reduction of resources, the Tiger Creek Fire Closure has been rescinded as of Friday, October 18, 2024.

With portions of the fire footprint reopening, forest visitors should be cautious when entering any recently burned area and be aware of increased hazards, particularly snags (which are recently burned or dead trees). Dead or dying tree that remain standing after a fire are unstable, especially in high winds. Loose rocks and logs can be present in a burned area and are unpredictable, creating a falling hazard.

Forest visitors may also encounter increased firefighter traffic, post fire recovery maintenance, downed trees in roadways, dusty roads and areas of smoke. Please be alert when traveling on the forest.

Fire danger on the Umatilla National Forest is Moderate. Phase A Public Use Restrictions are still in effect. The public is encouraged to practice safe campfire principles when recreating in dispersed and developed campsites.
