Aerial Assets Assist Suppression Efforts on Dixon Fire

Days Creek, Ore. – Today, firefighters took advantage of cooler morning temperatures to engage with the fire and continued to establish control line. In the afternoon, fire activity increased substantially, and air assets were heavily utilized to assist with suppression. Structure resources provided point protection on several properties due to fuels burning in the area. Due to increased fire activity, additional crews were moved up the FSRD 1610 and along the 100-spur road, including the repositioning of the structure group positioned in Drew.

Tomorrow, plans are in place to start removing hazardous trees along the Tiller Trail Highway. There may be extended delays between milepost 26 (junction of South Umpqua Road and Tiller Trail Highway) and milepost 32 (near the community of Drew). Please use caution when entering this area.
