Engine crews from ODF’s Medford Unit responded this morning to a cluster of five fires in the West Fork of Trail Creek area. The fires are on privately owned forestland and are burning in old logging slash. The largest fire is 1/2 acre and the other four are approximately 1/4 acre each.
Four of the fires were reported at 6:48 a.m. today. The fifth was discovered a couple hours later. Six ODF engines, bulldozers from the Medford and Grants Pass units, a fireline-digging crew, and the Medford Unit’s small helicopter are working to construct fireline around the fires and mop them up.
The cause of the fires is under investigation.
