Fir Mountain Fire Containment 50%

The Fir Mountain Fire is now 50% contained.  The Oregon Department of Forestry reports they now have the fire completely lined with dozerline, roads, and handline.  Breezy conditions on Wednesday night produced new interior consumption of previously unburned pockets within the containment line…but firefighters kept the fire within the existing footprint.   Crews Thursday will continue to strengthen the perimeter by increasing the depth of the cooled ground interior of the fireline.  With windy conditions expected, firefighters will be gridding the perimeter of the fire.  The fire is 313 acres in size.  It was first reported late Saturday and remains under investigation.
