 Fire Information: The Jack fire is currently at 22,248 acres with 60 percent containment. The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain and continues to be a challenge for fire operations causing some areas to be inaccessible. Yesterday firefighters continue to successfully hold fire within control lines north of Hwy 138. Patrol and mop up operations will resume for this area. Challenges yesterday in the weather delayed firing operations due to rain in the SE quadrant of Twin Lakes and Calf Creek.  The lightning from the day before placed a greater demand on initial attack resources.  Operations managers placed an Initial Attack Task Force in a location for better response needs.  Personnel deployed to one initial attack response just outside the TFR area with ground and air resources.   Resources from the Jack Fire organization previously identified to assist the Umpqua National Forest in extinguishing new fire starts were deployed. Through the assistance these...

Yesterday and into the night, crews worked on hot spots and working in from the perimeter.

The bucket rotors are able to be precise in their drops while fixed wing aircraft work the outer edge of the fire. These resources on scene allow firefighters to gain the upper hand on the spot fires that are created by torching and spreading embers. The fire had no significant growth yesterday and remains at 67 acres. Containment on the fire is now at 20%.Firefighters today will continue their great work on the alpha division and getting it ready to be in patrol status.
