The Coyote Fire, reported July 16, remains confined to its current perimeter as of September 18, 2026, with no anticipated growth outside established lines. Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) incident management teams will now focus on extinguishing remaining heat sources and improving containment lines.

Interior smoldering is expected to persist due to dry vegetation, but the fire remains contained 5 miles south of Post, Oregon. Crews will prioritize landscape restoration to natural conditions following the fire's containment.
