Archie Creek Fire Saturday Evening Update: Fire Now 10% Contained

(IC) Today, wildland firefighters assigned to the Archie Creek fire worked with local fire departments, industrial landowners and loggers on structure protection and creating containment lines around the perimeter of the blaze. The majority of work today was completed along the western flank of the fire between the Little River area and the Nonpareil area. Air operations were grounded for another day due to thick smoke which blanketed the region. The fire has burned 115,857 acres and is 10 % contained. 495 people are now assigned to the Archie Creek Fire. Crews from the Oregon Department of Transportation made good progress on clearing Highway 138E through the burned area. Fallers were used to remove hazard trees along the highway while heavy equipment removed down trees and rocks from the roadway. Highway 138E remains closed between Milepost 17 and 83 for all non-fire traffic. Road clearing operations were also completed by fire crews along Rock Creek Road. Safety for our firefighters and the public remains our number one priority. Road and area closures in and around the Archie Creek Fire remain in place while firefighters continue suppression efforts.
