Firefighters, engines and helicopters battle the Brewer, Green Mountain and Crosswhite West fires near Prineville in Central Oregon from July 25-27, 2026. The three fires merged July 27 and are now managed as the Rowe Creek Complex West Zone, estimated at 294,900 acres and 33% contained as of July 28. Crews continued building control lines and protecting homes during challenging weather as the fire spread toward U.S. 26.

As more than 20 fires continue to burn across 2.4 million acres in Oregon, wildfire officials are once again reminding people not to fly drones near wildfires.
