The Henry Fire, reported July 16 near Post, OR, has been contained with no growth anticipated outside its perimeter, according to the Great Basin Complex Incident Management Team 5. The fire remains confined to its current footprint, and crews will focus on extinguishing interior smoldering heat sources.

Residents in the Okanogan–Omak area should note that while the fire is contained, interior smoldering may persist due to dry vegetation. Fire management teams are prioritizing extinguishing remaining heat sources and improving containment lines to prevent rekindling.
