Firefighters on the Fielder Mountain Fire continued making progress across the incident, pushing forward on mop-up and repair work for the 72% contained, 573 acre fire.
Overnight, engines patrolled the fire area, looking for any signs of smoke or fire. Flare-ups were minimal across the incident; this limited fire activity has prompted a decrease in firefighting resources working overnight.
Most of the contained line is along the southern and eastern perimeter near Rogue River, where mop-up has been completed 300-feet into the interior of the fire. Today, resources will continue these operations across the rest of the fire, focusing along the western and northern edges, and continuing repair work.
Temperatures are expected to reach triple-digits today. Relative humidity is expected to span between 20-30% across the fire area, with light winds predicted. As containment increases, resources that are no longer needed on the fire are being demobilized to either return home and rest or respond to other fires across the state.
