Oregon’s largest wildfire continued to burn across Central Oregon, but firefighters have increased containment on the now 95,000-acre blaze.
The Boxcar Fire, near Maupin, threw out a 200-acre spot fire Sunday afternoon that kept firefighters busy all night trying to get a line around it.
They were successful, and containment reached 47 percent Monday morning, officials said in an update.
Today, firefighters will travel via jet boat to inaccessible areas to continue to secure the fire’s edge along the Deschutes River, officials said.
High winds could spread the fire to the east.
