Significant Progress Continues on Dixon Fire

DAYS CREEK, Ore. – Fire activity moderated today, allowing crews to make good progress in all divisions. On the southern portion of the fire, tactical firing was completed within the immediate fire area. This is used to strategically remove ground fuels in areas that could generate significant or unpredictable growth if left uncontrolled. Crews will be in place to monitor these areas through the night.

Along FSRD 1610 and the 100-spur road, tenders were busy shuttling water to assist crews completing mop up, extinguishing hot spots, and removing burning debris up to 50’ within the perimeter of north and west fire edges. On Tiller Trail Highway, the removal of hazard trees continued, and crews extended mop up further into the fire perimeter along Crume Ranch Lane.

Mop up was completed 75’ around all structures that are within the fire area or directly adjacent to it. The remaining surface preparation work in Drew was also completed today, which included the reduction and removal of receptive fuels, as well as the relocation of combustible items.

As a result of progress made by the coordinated efforts of fire resources, Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) will demobilize two task forces tomorrow morning, allowing them to return to their home agencies. Structural protection will be provided by remaining resources.
