Authorities Seek Person Who Started Spot Fire at State Park South of CJ

Authorities were looking for a person who started a small fire at Illinois River Forks State Park this week.

On Monday evening, the Illinois Valley Fire District and Oregon Department of Forestry responded to a reported grass fire at the state park in the 26,900-block of Redwood Highway just south of Cave Junction.

IVFD officials said arriving units found a small spot fire that was quickly put out.

Once the fire was completely out, firefighters searched the park for the person responsible for starting the fire without success.

Anyone with information on the fire is encouraged to call IVFD at (541)-592-2225.
