Chiloquin, Ore. – Crews continued their progress in mop up and building containment. Work around structures continues, bringing the depth to 200 feet around homes and structures. With the difficult terrain on Corbell Butte making for slower work, there is still some heat near the fire lines. The rest of the cool fire line is at 75 to 100 feet deep. With this continued success, containment increased to 77%.

Today’s weather will continue the cooling temperatures, higher relative humidity and lighter winds. These conditions help crews to continue their mop up efforts and push deeper into the black areas around the fire perimeter. With the shifting winds, smoke has moved into the fire area.

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.
