Questions about 0500 COYOTE Wildfire
Where is 0500 COYOTE Wildfire?
The official incident record places it in Crook, Oregon. The map pin is a reported location, not the full fire boundary.
How large is 0500 COYOTE Wildfire?
The latest available record reports 17,460 acres (approximately 7,066 hectares). This is reported incident size, not a measurement of current flames, and agencies can revise it.
How contained is 0500 COYOTE Wildfire?
The latest available record reports 99% containment. Containment describes control work intended to stop spread. It is not the percentage extinguished or an all-clear for nearby communities.
When was 0500 COYOTE Wildfire discovered?
The reported discovery date is Jul 16, 2026, 6:04 PM ET. Discovery time may differ from ignition time; elapsed time does not establish continuous burning.
Where should I check evacuation orders and road closures?
Use local emergency management, the sheriff or other law enforcement, and official fire-agency updates. WildfireSignal does not verify evacuation zones, open roads, or safe travel routes. The official-information section provides starting points; it does not establish that orders are present or absent.
Why can the map and the incident report differ?
Agency records, mapped perimeters and NASA satellite detections are updated on different schedules. Satellite heat near a fire is not automatically attributed to that incident. Older or unavailable data does not establish that an area is safe.
