Fire Summary:There will be a virtual community meeting via Facebook Live at 7pm to-night. Hear from incident leadership and community leaders on successes and resources available for support after the fire. This will be the final community meeting.
 Firefighters worked throughout the day yesterday extinguishing heat next to the containment line. This is labor intensive work as they dig out stump holes and open up dozer berms to expose buried heat under the dirt. Last night crews continued to patrol for visible hot spots along Highway 97 and Highway 62. Crews worked through the night to extinguish what they could and marked areas they did not get to for the day shift.
 It will be warmer and drier with light winds over the fire area today. The extended weather forecast shows an increasing chance of precipitation over the fire late this week.
 Firefighter and public safety is the priority during this incident, including COVID mitigation. Personnel will be following Center for Disease Control guide-lines to limit personal interactions both within camp and with the local communi-ty. The incident command post and fire camp are closed to the public and media.

 Fire Summary:Great progress was made yesterday as crews are getting close to meeting the 100 foot depth of blackened perimeter around the fire. In some areas crews have gone beyond the 100’ to eliminate visible smokes that are well into the interior.
 One of today’s goals will focus on locating hazard trees and removing them. Snags pose a threat to firefighter’s safety as well as public safety. Crews will continue removing hazards around homes, including snags and hot spots.
 Weather will remain slightly cooler today over the fire. We did not receive the rain that was expected yesterday. But nonetheless, cooler weather significantly helps in suppression efforts with higher humidity and lower tempera-tures keeping fire activity low. Tomorrow, warmer weather is expected which will help firefighters identify hot spots. With a warm up in the weather any hot spots that have not been extinguished will show themselves during the late afternoon hours.

 Fire Summary:Overnight, crews patrolled Highway 97 and Highway 62 to look for visible hot spots and extinguish any that were found. There has been heavy traffic through both Highway 97 and Highway 62 where crews are working. As a remind-er, for firefighter and public safety, if you are traveling through the fire area please slow down and use caution.
 The two fires outside the main fire, the Dam Fire and the Cattle fire, are fully contained and in patrol status. Those fires will continue to be monitored periodically through the next couple weeks.
 With the cooler weather expected today, it will help firefighters in their containment efforts. The northwest section of the fire continues to be the most difficult area. With slightly higher relative humidity today and a slight chance of rain, crews will be able to use that to their advantage. Moving into next week warm and dry conditions will be back to normal.

 Fire Summary:There is another Red Flag warning from 2pm to 8pm over the fire area today. Crews have used the past few days to continue to strengthen the fire lines against any weather event. A slight chance of light rain is forecast for the fire area tonight which will help firefighters in their con-tainment efforts.
 The two small fires the Team responded to yesterday are outside the main fire area, are contained, and in mop up status. The Dam Fire is located near Chiloquin Ridge and is two acres. The Cattle Fire is located near the Rainbow Park area and is 20 acres. These are not spot fires from the Two Four Two fire. The cause of these fires is under investigation.
 Crews will continue to work on strengthening containment lines around the fire. The west side of the fire, west of Hwy 62 near the Agency Creek area, has the most heat. Eliminating hot spots will continue to be a goal until the fire is 100% contained.
 Safety remains our top priority. This includes trying to prevent COVID-19 infections. Personnel are following the Center for Disease Con-trol guidelines. We continue to limit personal contact within fire camp and the community. The fire camp continues to be closed to the public and media.

 Fire Summary:There is a Red Flag Warning for our area for gusty winds and low relative humidity today. The weather continues to be dry and we are ex-pecting to see gusts up to 20 mph today. In anticipation of the winds, crews continue working hard to eliminate hot spots along the perimeter of the fire.
 Yesterday there were two new fire starts within the surrounding area of the Two Four Two Fire. The Cattle Fire is east of the Two Four Two Fire in the Pine Ridge Estates. It burned in grass and grew to 5 acres. The second start, named the Dam Fire, was off of Twin Rivers Road. That fire grew to 2.25 acres. Multiple engines were pulled from the Two Four Two Fire line to assist Chiloquin Fire Department and local resources with these new fires. Crews will continue mop up operations and patrol both of these fires today. Both fires are under investigation.
 Highway 97 will have areas of traffic control points so crews can fall hazard trees. The highway will remain open during this work.

 Containing the fire requires diligent, labor intensive work. Working within the fires interior, crews will search for hot spots. These hot spots can be found in downed logs and tree stumps. Firefighters turn logs over and dig out stumps then spray them with water until the material is cold to the touch. Crews will work 25’ into the fire’s interior, building a crust around the fire to secure the perimeter.

 Fire Summary:The plan for today is to work further into the fires interior. Fire-fighters will be bringing in water pumps and laying hose. Starting at the established control lines crews will work inwards cooling hot spots and cleaning up around structures.
 With today’s wind advisory, winds will be coming in from the southwest and blowing to the northeast. Crews will be working on the north side of the fire, strengthening the control and contingency lines. The wind will be testing the control lines. Firefighters are prepared and ready. The fire still has planes and helicopters available, but with the thick smoke they are unable to fly.
 The National Guard is setting up their camp at the rodeo grounds on Chiloquin Boulevard.

 Fire Summary:Approximately 150 National Guard troops will join firefighters to assist with containing the fire. Their primary responsibility will be to find hot spots and extinguish them. They will also be laying hose to get water to the interior of the fire.
 Today, crews started diligently removing hot spots. Crews worked on both widening the control line and clearing heat near houses. Tonight and tomorrow, crews will continue mopping up the hot spots. The goal is to have wide control lines before mid-day tomorrow. Once a fire has a wide, fuel-free, and cooled buffer along the line, it's contained. It's a long process, and tomorrow's weather will test the work completed so far.
 For tomorrow, weather forecasters predict increased winds from 11am-9pm. These winds will be from the southeast, pushing the fire to the northwest. This will test the control lines. The goal is to hold the fire within its current footprint throughout the wind event.
 The heavy smoke has lowered the air quality, which is in the un-healthy category. The Oregon Smoke Information website has more infor-mation about the current air quality.The website is: http://oregonsmoke.blogspot.com/
