The Coyote Fire, reported on July 16, remains confined within its current perimeter as of August 24, 2026, according to Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) records.

ODF's Central Oregon District Incident Management Team (CIMT 1) assumed command on September 9, shifting focus to repair work and extinguishing remaining interior heat sources. No further growth is anticipated outside the established perimeter, though smoldering may continue due to dry vegetation.

Resident impact is limited to ongoing monitoring by crews, with no evacuations or closures reported in the Okanogan–Omak area.
