8.29.23 News Release
Medford, Ore – A shift in weather led to clearer skies over the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest which allowed aircraft to fully engage in suppression efforts on fires across the forest. Crews on the ground are engaged in mop up efforts on all remaining incidents. The Grayback Fire is burning several miles southwest of the community of Williams and is estimated at 40 acres. There is line around 100% of the fire and hose lays are being utilized around the perimeter. Lines held through the night and improved air quality allowed for air resources to reengage on the fire today. Mop up is ongoing on this incident. The Barklow fire, burning northeast of Gold Beach on the Powers Ranger District, is estimated at nine acres and currently has hose lay and handline around the perimeter. Lines held overnight and mop up continues. The Winchuck Fire is 0.7 acres and has been 100% lined. Lines have held and crews continue hazard tree removal to secure the perimeter.
