**Start Date/Time/Location** The Rowena Fire started on June 11, 2025, at approximately 1:30 PM, three miles northwest of The Dalles, Oregon[5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest update on June 18, 2025, the fire has burned 3,636 acres and is 24% contained[5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Despite sustained winds of 20-30 miles per hour, firefighters have managed to limit fire growth. An infrared flight on June 13 placed the fire at 3,831 acres initially, but more accurate mapping has since adjusted the size to 3,636 acres. The fire has been challenging due to wind conditions, but little significant growth was observed overnight on June 13[2][3]. **Containment Efforts** Unified Command involves the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) Team 2 and the Oregon State Fire Marshal's (OSFM) Green Team. Firefighters are working to hold the fire in its current footprint, protect homes and natural resources, and create a control line using direct tactics. Aircraft continue to be a critical asset in the firefighting efforts[2][5].
