Vale District public information officer Larry Moore said the Owyhee Canyon Fire is southeast of Burns Junction and likely started from a lightning strike. By Tuesday morning, there were 25 combined engines from the Bureau of Land Management and contracted firefighting services, two bulldozers, four water tenders, four Snake River Valley crews and one hotshot crew fighting the blaze. An air attack was called in Monday and expected to continue Tuesday. registerguard.com/rg/news/local/34451894-75/wildfire-burns-in-oregons-malheur-country.html.csp
