Fire Information: The Jack fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain with some areas inaccessible to fire crews. Fire activity remains within the containment lines north of Hwy 138. Patrol and mop up operations will continue north of Hwy 138. The fire is currently at 21,609 acres with 58 percent containment.

South of Hwy 138, firefighters continue to have success containing fire activity within the control lines along the western flank. Crews on the south end of the fire will prep control lines for possible burning operations and scout for alternative line. On the eastern flank crews successfully extinguished small spot fires near the control line and plan to improve existing handline along the Twin Lakes road.

Structures: To ensure the safety of the Dry Creek area and Horseshoe Bend campground, firefighters continue to patrol these locations.

Aviation: Air support continues to support ground resources with water, particularly in the eastern portion of the fire, to limit the spread of fire. On Saturday, aviation resources dropped 69,830 gallons of water on the Jake Fire and spent 13.5 hours in the air. Currently, all aircraft, including drones are prohibited from flying over the Jack Wildfire. A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) has been established to protect aircraft that are involved in the firefighting operation. It is a federal crime to fly a drone near the fire. Please do not use these devices, or any other restricted aircraft listed, within the TFR designation.

Safety: Our goal continues to not only protect the community from wildfire, but to also protect the community and firefighters from infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Mitigation measures are implemented and evaluated to ensure the safety and health of all fire personnel and the community we serve. Our staff will continually be monitored to ensure protection measures are effective and in alignment with the primary objectives of protection from wildfire.
Safety on Hwy 138: At this time, Hwy 138 remains open. Be aware there are possible speed limit changes and increased traffic due to fire personnel. Please follow the posted speed limit for your safety and the safety of firefighters.

Closures: For your safety and the safety of others, the Umpqua National Forest closure orders remain in effect. The full closure order and map can be viewed at www.fs.usda.gov/umpqua and on the Jack Fire Facebook page.

Evacuations: There are no changes to the evacuation levels by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. A current evacuation map can be found at www.dcso.com/evacuations

Related Incident:

Publication Type: News Sun, 07/25/2021 - 12:00

Fire Information: The fire is currently at 21,503 acres with 57 percent containment. The fire is burning in timber, primarily the understory, with leaf litter and brush. The Jack fire is burning in steep rugged terrain making some areas inaccessible to firefighters and resistant to containment. Fire personnel had another successful day of containing fire activity within control lines north of Hwy 138. Firefighters continue to patrol this area and mop up along containment lines where needed.

South of Hwy 138, crews will resume use of mechanical equipment along the eastern flank to reinforce control lines. On the southeast section of the fire, firefighters improved handline within the Twin lakes area and will conduct assessments today to identify possible strategies to strengthen containment lines. Along the west flank of the fire, crews continue to patrol and mop up.

Structures: The Dry Creek area and Horseshoe Bend campground will have firefighters patrolling the area to ensure safety of these locations.

Aviation: Air support will continue to support ground resources with water, particularly the eastern portion of the fire, to limit the spread of fire. There is a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the Jack Wildfire to protect aircraft that are involved in the firefighting operation. All aircraft, including drones, are prohibited from flying in the restricted area unless they’re operated by an agency that is involved in the firefighting operation. Please do not fly a drone near the Jack Fire as it is a federal crime to interfere with firefighting aircraft.

Safety: We will be continuing to evaluate best management practices for the safety and health of all fire personnel and our community. Various procedures and mitigation measures have been implemented to protect our community and firefighters from COVID-19. We are continually monitoring our staff to ensure the protection measures are effective and in alignment with the primary mission of fire operations.

Safety on Hwy 138: Hwy 138 is accessible for all road travel at this time. Please adhere to the speed limit and any posted speed limit changes along Hwy138 as fire traffic will be present in the area.

Closures: For your safety and the safety of others, the Umpqua National Forest closure orders remain in effect. The full closure order and map can be viewed at www.fs.usda.gov/umpqua and on the Jack Fire Facebook page.

Evacuations: There are no changes to the evacuation levels by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office. A current evacuation map can be found at www.dcso.com/evacuations

Weather: Currently there is a temperature inversion over the area. The temperature inversion causes cool air to reside near the surface of the ground while warmer air resides in the atmosphere. This can cause any smoke within the valley to stay and not be released into the upper atmosphere. As the temperatures begin to warm during the day, the air begins to release the smoke trapped by the inversion and a smoke column can form. This can likely occur during today’s forecast as the weather warms up in the afternoon.

Today’s weather will continue to be warm. Maximum temperatures are expected in the low 90s with minimum relative humidity at 22 percent. Afternoon winds will be out of the west northwest ranging from 5 to 8 mph with gusts up to 18 mph.
