Burning across 4,225 acres of private land in Wallowa County, Oregon, the human-caused Eggo Fire has maintained a steady trajectory over its 12 days of burning, averaging an approximate growth of 352 acres per day. Located 17 miles northeast of Enterprise, the active blaze is currently managed by a Type 5 Incident Commander with a modest crew of 4 personnel overseeing the operation. Despite its spread through 2.5-foot tall grass, the fire behavior is now observed as minimal, characterized by flanking and short-range spotting.
Fire suppression efforts have achieved a strong 95 percent containment on the incident, which has accumulated $1,200,000 in costs as a Type 5 Incident. The blaze operates within the regional backdrop of the typical June to October fire season. Nationally, this event unfolds during a broader context where 2,893,377 hectares have burned across the country so far in 2026, tracking 47 percent below the two-decade average.
