Update for Sept. 15, 2020
COQUILLE, Ore. –
The North Bank Rd MM8 fire is still holding. The windy conditions yesterday afternoon has not caused any further issues. Firefighters are still working on containment lines and fire line hazards. The fire remains at 350 acres. The road remains closed, they will be looking into the road closure today as to whether they can open it or not. We will have a flight over the fire today to check the condition of the fire from above. Weather is shifting to warm, gusty, and breezy, however the firefighters are confident they will not have a problem with reaching containment of this fire. The containment is at 70% which is good news, we are more than half way to complete containment. Our hope is to bring more good news later. Thank you for all you are doing for our firefighters out there especially for your support.
