Shoe Fly Fire holds within fireline, mop up continues
MITCHELL, Ore. – Firefighters took a moment this morning during briefing to reflect on lives lost as a result of the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
Firelines on the Shoe Fly Fire were tested Tuesday by steady winds. Lines held and the fire remained in the existing footprint. Increased acreage today is not due to perimeter growth, but is the result of better mapping, data collection and burning inside the fireline. Hard work put in by firefighters and landowners has increased containment to 41%.
Mop up continues across all areas of the fire. In the northwest portion of the incident, crews have reached 300 feet into the interior of the fire and are mitigating hazard trees and patrolling the area. In the southeast, mop up has progressed to 200 feet. In the northeast and southwest parts of the fire, where fire had been active most recently, mop up ranges from 50 feet to 100 feet.
