HERMISTON — Oregon State Fire Marshal officials said Monday, Sept. 4, that the wildfire that began Sunday near Highway 395 and Bensel Road had been extinguished as fire crews perfomed mop-up duty on hot spots.
Gert Zoutendijk, public information officer for the OSFM Green Incident Management Team, said around 2:30 p.m. Monday that the fire was out, but crews were dealing with small areas, stumps, underground brush and fence posts that continued to smolder.
