Fire officials say that because the person mowing was allegedly in violation of a regulated use closure, the individual may be liable for fire suppression costs and damages resulting from the fire. Officials did not immediately release the name of the person responsible. To date, the Stouts fire has burned 23,841 acres, and suppression costs have reached $22.4 million. It is the largest wildfire burning in Oregon.   MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 13, 2015 @ 10:18 am Updated Aug 13, 2015 at 10:26 AM » Comment or view comments   /* $( document ).ready(function() { // Jquery mobile is trying to style the button and leaving a blank gry button on top of a white button $("#viafouracoms .vf-comment-controls li.vf-right").html(' Submit '); });*/ »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Propel Marketing Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Mobile Site Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
