WHITE CITY, Ore. (May 30, 2021) — Firefighters made excellent progress overnight on the East Antelope Fire, located on the 9600-block of East Antelope road outside of White City. Through GPS mapping, the fire was found to be 49 acres. The perimeter is now 100% lined and the fire is 20% mopped up.
Overnight, firefighters were able to plumb the fire with fire hose up to 90%. This will make it easier today as resources continue to mop up.
