Size: 10,850 acres Containment: 41% Personnel: 678 Current Status: The northeast section of the fire, which had backed down Sawtooth Ridge Friday, showed very little activity yesterday. Clear skies allowed for continued bucket drops throughout the day, substantially reducing the risk of spread of fire across FS 1993. Fire containment lines held with no observed spotting. Early afternoon winds caused increased fire activity along the eastern perimeter of the fire and died down in the evening, resulting in approximately 170 acres of growth. Reduced fire activity occurred west of FS 19....

Fire The Klondike Fire had minimal growth yesterday mainly as a result of firing operations that continued to expand containment lines along the north edge of the fire. However interior smoldering from the large burned area will continue to produce significant smoke. Currently the Klondike Fire is 129,444 acres and 51% contained. Similar conditions are expected today. Smoke-Today Dense smoke is expected to linger in valleys within the Rogue River-Siskiyou NF and surrounding areas and will again be slow to lift, likely not until noon or later. This afternoon smoke is expected to be pushed into the Rogue River Valley and Illinois River Valley, but should lighten overnight. Dense smoke is again expected to settle over the fire area overnight and tomorrow morning. Smoke Tomorrow Similar impacts expected

Smoke Expect generally "good" conditions in the Willamette Valley

The Gila Las Cruces Type 3 Incident Management Team, led by Incident Commander Ricky Cox, assumed management of the Miles Fire on September 8. The safety of firefighters and the public continues to be the highest priority. Crews are continuing to make good progress securing the fire’s perimeter.
