RAILROAD SOUTH FIRE UPDATE – AUGUST 30, 2026 8:40 PM

The Railroad South Fire is currently estimated at 515 acres and 30% contained. Forward progression has been stopped, and fire crews continue suppression, mop-up, perimeter reinforcement, and monitoring for hot spots or renewed fire activity.

There are no evacuation orders or traffic control points in effect, all previously reported power outages have been restored, and shelter operations have been deactivated. Damage assessments are complete, confirming 7 structures impacted — 5 destroyed and 2 with minor damage. Three civilians were transported for medical care.

One first responder fatality has also been confirmed. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has publicly identified the fallen responder as Federal Wildlife Officer David Taylor.

As of 8:00 pm command has transitioned back to Indiahoma Fire Department, with local resources continuing to monitor and manage the fire toward 100% containment.

The response to the Railroad South Fire has included approximately 150 fire personnel operating 55 apparatus, along with 41 law enforcement/public safety personnel and 19 medical/EMS personnel operating 8 apparatus. EMS resources also provided responder rehabilitation services to 38 personnel.

We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary support provided by the communities of Cache and Indiahoma, local residents and businesses, volunteer fire departments, elected officials, the American Red Cross, and the many local, county, state, federal, and tribal agencies that supported this response. From donated water, Gatorade, snacks, care items, and meals to personnel, equipment, evacuation assistance, traffic control, medical support, and countless other needs, the community response has been tremendous.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Sending love and prayers to his friends and family. May his heroic efforts never be forgotten.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is mourning federal wildlife officer David Taylor, 38 of Scio, Oregon, who is believed to have died while helping evacuate residents threatened by the Railroad South Fire.

Officer Taylor was going door to door alongside local emergency crews helping families get to safety. His last contact with dispatch came while he was helping a family evacuate their home. Evidence recovered from a structure where he was working to help a resident escape indicates that he died during the evacuation effort. Formal identification remains pending with the medical examiner.

Everything we know about David's actions reflects extraordinary courage, selflessness and devotion to duty.

Our hearts are with his family, friends, fellow officers and all who served alongside him. We will never forget his service.

is a little bittersweet for our household this year. Earlier this month, we made the difficult decision to help our Luna cross the rainbow bridge. It’s no doubt that we all have the best dogs but she was the best I could ever ask for. We’re thankful to still have Wednesday and Penelope by our sides.

Love on your doggos today and if they’ve made their journey, think about them some. 💜
