Chiloquin, Ore. – The Copperfield Fire remains 3,822 acres and has now reached 86 percent containment.

Mop-up operations continue to ensure the fire remains in its footprint. Much of the perimeter has been mopped in 200 feet. The work south of Corbell Butte, that lies in steep, rocky terrain, continues to be slow and tedious, reaching about 150 feet.

A cooling trend with increased humidity will continue today. Tomorrow’s forecast will include a chance of rain.

Level 1, 2 and 3 evacuations remain around the Copperfield Fire. Evacuation levels are determined by the Klamath County Sheriff's Office in conjunction with fire officials and agency administrators. Current evacuation areas and levels can be found at https://www.klamathcounty.org/300/Emergency-Management.

This will be the final update for the Copperfield Fire incident. Oregon Department of Forestry’s Type 1 Incident Management Team will be departing tomorrow and handing the fire over to a local type 4 team. The team would like to thank the community for its support and hospitality during our stay. It has been a pleasure serving you.
