The Coleman Creek Fire, ignited by lightning on July 22, has spread to Highway 20 and the community of Juntura in Oregon's Harney County, according to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The fire, which began July 25, continues to grow amid steady winds and abundant vegetation.

The fire is burning in grass, brush, and juniper across Harney and Malheur counties, with perimeters extending near Warm Springs Reservoir and Riverside. BLM officials note the fire's movement is driven by wind shifts and a solid fuel load, with no immediate threat to populated areas reported.
