July 27, 2013

The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) today revised its estimate of the size of the Douglas Complex to between 4,000 and 5,000 acres based on new field observations. Ignited by lightning Friday morning, the fires making up the complex are burning in forest fuels parched by the sustained hot, dry weather in the Douglas County area. An ODF incident management team took over command of the suppression effort Saturday morning.
