Emergency Conflagration Act invoked for Moon Complex in Curry County

The Oregon State Fire Marshal is mobilizing four task forces and its Green Incident Management Team to the Moon Complex in Curry County. The lightning-caused fire grew significantly Friday, pushed by strong winds, and is threatening homes and critical infrastructure near the communities of Agness and Illahe. In total, six structural task forces are mobilized to fire.

The Curry County Sherriff's Office has levels 2 and 3 evacuation notices in place for seeral areas around the fire. Please follow the local sheriff's office for evacuation information.

The state fire marshal resources will join two task forces sent through Immediate Response on Saturday morning, mobilized from Rogue Valley and Lane County.

"Challenging weather conditions yesterday pushed the fire into new areas and local resources need extra help protecting people, homes, and critical infrastructure," State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. "This is a good reminder that we are still in fire season and ask everyone to stay aware and do everything they can to prevent sparking a wildfire."

This is the eighth time the Emergency Conflagration Act has been invoked in 2025.
