Progress Reported On Gilliam County Fires

Good progress was made overnight on fires in South Gilliam County.  Cool weather with some precipitation allowed firefighters to get ahead of the fires in many areas.  Wildland firefighters will continue to hold and improve existing containment lines on the fires today, and work to stop the forward progress of the fire on the active sides.  Air support continues to be available to maximize efforts of crews on the ground.  Firefighters will continue to be challenged by light flashy fuels, steep slopes along the John Day River Canyon and afternoon winds.  The Stubblefield and Seale fires now total 30,500 acres with 20% containment.  There are 119 firefighters on the incident.  A Type 2 Incident Management Team will be integrated in a unified command with the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Blue Team by Tuesday morning.
