Firefighters continue to strengthen containment lines and
extinguish hot spots 25′ or more interior from those lines. Unburned interior pockets of fuel will be assessed today and measures taken to reduce the threat of embers igniting them.
With the majority of the fire’s heat located in the Winslow Rd. area, a hose line was put in place to assist firefighters with mopping up those areas. The north and east flanks of the fire continue to cool and firefighters will be assessing those containment lines for strength and mopping up the perimeters.
With the risk to structures reduced, structure protection task
forces will begin to demobilize today, with the last task force anticipating being released tomorrow morning. The Oregon State Fire Marshal has reported a total of 14 structures destroyed (three primary structures and eleven outbuildings).
Aviation resources today will continue to support firefighters
by using retardant and helicopter water drops. Firefighters will continue to monitor for hazards which include snags, smoldering tree stump pits and heavy duff. A community meeting will be held at 6 p.m. tonight at the Christian Church, 315 Harrison St. in Dufur. It will also be posted on Facebook live via the South Valley/Substation Fire 2018 Facebook page.
