Aerial View CrocketsKnobFire USFSPicByJasonSullivan 220830 (2) The Crockets Knob Fire was reported on the morning of August 22, 2022, after significant lightning occurred across the Malheur National Forest. The initial report was approximately 15 acres burning in brush, timber and slash within the 1996 Summit Fire scar. Numerous air and ground fire resources responded to suppress the fire. Gusty winds and steep, rugged terrain resulted in increased fire behavior and limited access for crews.

Overnight on August 23rd and into the early hours of August 24th, east winds pushed the fire over constructed containment lines, and the fire grew to 225 acres. The afternoon of August 25th brought considerable fire growth to the south and southeast, increasing its footprint from 225 acres to 1,000 acres. Over the next several days the fire grew to over 4,000 acres.

In total, the fire burned 4,287 acres. — Aerial View CrocketsKnobFire USFSPicByJasonSullivan 220830 (2) Credit: Forest Service Pacific Northwest Region
