Coulter Creek Fire Final Update
August 4, 2025 – 4 PM

Firefighters have concluded their work on the Coulter Creek Fire. The fire is 100% contained and remains at 107 acres.

Firefighters will continue to patrol the fire area over the next few days to watch for any remaining hot spots or flare‑ups.

County Road 113 between County Road 100 and County Road 121 has reopened.

The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing and the official cause is expected to be determined in the next few days. However, lightning in the area a few days before the fire started is believed to be the likely cause.

“The quick actions of firefighters combined with the support of air resources stopped this fire before it could cause greater damage,” said Fire Chief Rob Goodwin. “This was a strong team effort that demonstrates the value of our mutual aid partnerships and the training our crews do year‑round to prepare for these situations. I am grateful there were no injuries and no homes were lost in this fire.”

This is the final update on the Coulter Creek Fire unless conditions change.
