Spanning 1,000 acres of private land five miles south of the Paulina Guard Station in Crook County, Oregon, the 0497 HENRY Fire remains fully active with zero containment. Since its ignition on July 16, 2026, the blaze has exhibited moderate, running, and torching behavior through short grass fuels, with satellites detecting five distinct heat signatures over the last 48 hours indicating the current spread of the fire front.

A Type 4 incident management team, consisting of three personnel, is currently overseeing the response to the fire. Operations to suppress the blaze have incurred an estimated cost of $100,000 as crews work to manage the incident.
