Firefighters continued to make progress Tuesday on the 1620 Road Fire located four miles west of Parkdale. The combined acreage for the fires remains at 85 acres, with 20% containment and 10% control. The fire was originally reported Monday morning burning in brush, timber, and young timber on privately owned land. An Oregon Department of Forestry update indicates Tuesday’s focus was to strengthen existing firelines and mop-up within the interior of the original fire. Firefighters continued to construct handline on the spot fire to the east of the original fire. A heavy air tanker, two fireboss scoopers, and a Type 2 helicopter, and a Type 1 helicopter provided support to the firefighters, cooling hot areas for direct line construction adjacent to the fire’s edge. Tuesday afternoon precipitation fell on the fire as thunderstorms moved through the area. Last night firefighters monitored fire behavior and patroled the fire for any movement outside the fireline.
