Portions of the Dixon Fire Remain Active, While Mop Up Begins on Northern Edge

DAYS CREEK, Ore. – Firefighters, heavy equipment, and air assets are holding the fire line along FSRD 1610, Devils Knob Rd and the 100-spur road. Crews in this area are also working to address unburned pockets of fuel within the fire perimeter to assist with fire control.

The transition to mop up started in less active areas of the fire today, with firefighters working to cool hot spots and extinguish burning debris. Falling modules also made good progress today, removing hazardous trees along Tiller Trail Highway.
Tomorrow, crews will extend mop up operations further into the fire perimeter. Hose lays and portable water sources have been installed to assist with this task, and additional equipment is on order to plumb similar systems on the southern edge of the fire.

In addition to the uninhabited home lost during the fire, three outbuildings were destroyed on Saturday as well. These structures were located on a single property. This information was collected during structural assessments.
