Yesterday, firefighters had another productive day on the fire line. The helicopter was used in the morning to remove firefighting equipment from the fire. Suppression repair is well underway with chipping on the east end of fire and heavy equipment working on the west end of fire. Facebook took the Oak Ridge Fire page down yesterday, but the page seems to be working again. 

The Type 3 organization will transition tonight to a Type 4 Incident Commander with various fire resources. This will be the last day for daily updated information. Information will only be posted when there are significant changes like increase in containment or fire behavior. The Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team will arrive on Monday. A BAER team addresses post wildfire stabilization and other issues that may arise from a wildfire. The team focuses on public safety as well as ways to protect the landscape. 

Fire remains at 1,310 acres and 89% contained with 65 personnel.
