News Release

All Evacuation Levels For The Flat Fire Lifted By The Deschutes County Sheriff's Office - 09/08/25

 

Sisters, Ore. --  The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, in coordination with incident command staff, has officially lifted all evacuation levels related to the Flat Fire.

 

With the fire now fully contained, the threat to the community has been significantly reduced. Citizens may continue to see fire crews in the area conducting mop-up operations and monitoring for hot spots.

 

The Sheriff’s Office extends its gratitude to the many local, state, federal, and contract firefighters, dispatch centers, public safety agencies, and community-based organizations that supported this response. Their coordinated efforts protected thousands of homes and structures, even as several were unfortunately lost.

 

Residents are reminded to remain cautious when entering previously evacuated areas, as hazards such as weakened trees and hot ash pockets may still be present.
