Crews contain 12-acre wildfire on Ochoco National Forest

(Update: Fire contained, mop-up begins)

PRINEVILLE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Firefighters assisted by a helicopter and bulldozer Tuesday stopped and contained a day-old wildfire on the Ochoco National Forest that burned about a dozen acres.

Incident 409 was reported late Monday afternoon 1 1/2 miles north of Wolf Creek Campground and four miles southeast of Little Summit Prairie. It was mapped Tuesday at 11.8 acres, U.S. Forest Service officials said.

The fire was fully contained Tuesday evening, said Prineville BLM spokeswoman Lisa Clark.

"They'll be mopping up for a couple days, but they've been able to get a hose-lay around half of the fire, so that will help with mop up and putting out any hot spots," Clark said.

The fire was human-caused, Clark added, but the specific cause was under investigation.
