Stouts Fire: Notice of Emergency Closure of Public Lands in Douglas County
Roseburg, Ore. – The Bureau of Land Management, Roseburg District, South River Resource Area and is
issuing a temporary emergency closure of public lands in Douglas County Oregon. This closure affects
public lands within and adjacent to the Stouts Fire, on lands administered by the BLM.
This closure affects public lands inside the established perimeter of the Stout’s Creek road and is specific to
BLM lands and routes only. This emergency closure is necessary to ensure public safety, land health, and
resource integrity during firefighting activities. The fire is not contained or controlled, and ongoing
suppression and restoration activities preclude safe public access. The areas affected by this closure order
will be posted with appropriate regulation signs at main access and entry points.
The BLM will post closure signs at main entry points to this area. The area is closed to any means of
motorized and non-motorized transportation, including foot traffic. This closure will be in effect
immediately and will remain in effect until the Stout’s Fire is declared controlled.
The Stouts Fire was reported on Thursday, July 30, 2015, burning approximately 11 miles east of
Canyonville near the community of Milo. The fire has currently burned over 19,000 acres and is 20 percent
contained. Additional information on the Stouts Fire is available at:

###
The BLM manages more land – more than 245 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the
National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of
about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multipleuse mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future
generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral
development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
