Fire Information Phone: 541-421-3039
It was a cold and very windy night on the fireline last night as the crews continued the hard work of finding any remaining smokes. Fire Operations Section Chief Joe Hessel tasked the fire fighters with “looking for any stump holes or smokes that could come back to life after we leave”.
As the number of smoldering smokes are dwindling, so will the number of needed fire fighters. For some crews, today will be their last shift here on this fire as the team prepares to enter the transition phase.
The team and local ODF fire staff are working on preparing a transition plan that will include a smaller organization to manage the fire after the team leaves later this week.
Today, approximately 30 students from the local Long Creek School will tour the Incident Command Post, fire camp and the helibase.
There have been no injuries to incident fire fighters.
The incident command post is located at 289 East Hardisty St. (in the community center), Long Creek, OR.
