Officials say Middle Fork Fire crews going home

Crews were being released and the fire’s base camp at Steward State Park is being dismantled. The lightning caused fire started Aug. 16 and burned 21,125 acres. Closures remain in effect and include trails in Crater Lake National Park south of Highway 62, the northwest corner of the Fremont-Winema National Forests in the Sky Lakes Wilderness, and the northern quarter of Sky Lakes.
