REGIONAL WILDFIRES Old Blue Mountain fire work scaling back MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 21, 2014 @ 11:23 am Posted Aug. 21, 2014 @ 11:23 am » RELATED CONTENT • Old Blue Mountain fire fully lined • Evacuation advisory given for residents of Humbug Creek R... » Social News APPLEGATE — Work on an Applegate wildfire is starting to wind down. The 99-acre Old Blue Mountain fire is now considered 75 percent contained, the Oregon Department of Forestry reported. Fire crews have mopped up all hot spots at least 200 feet inside the fire line and will work to hit the 300-foot mark today. Lightning sparked the fire, located eight miles south of Rogue River, Monday afternoon when a thunderstorm rolled through the area. ODF spokesman Brian Ballou said cooler temperatures and better humidity levels the last two days have been a welcome asset in beating back the flames. "The weather's actually been in our favor for once," Ballou said. Crews have had the fire's perimeter completely lined since Wednesday. A level one evacuation advisory for residents living along parts of Humbug Creek Road was lifted at 6 p.m. Wednesday and a roadblock at the right fork of Foots Creek Road was removed at 8 a.m. today. About 200 personnel remain on the front lines today, with help from eight engines, five water tenders, four helicopters and a bulldozer. During the night, crews will be scaled back to one crew and two engines. A strike team of additional engines is available for initial attack on any new fires that could break out. — Ryan Pfeil MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 21, 2014 @ 11:23 am » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
