The lightning-caused Deadwood Fire is 100% contained. Yesterday, firefighters worked to strengthen lines around the fire, and they are now confident that it will not grow out of its current perimeter. Interior pockets of heat will put up smoke over the weekend due to the density of fuels, such as shrubs and logs, in the area. Firefighters will continue to extinguish heat sources with hand tools and water.
The Deadwood Fire is .5 acres and is located nine miles northwest of Triangle Lake in the West Fork of the Deadwood Creek drainage. Visitors are asked to avoid the area for public and firefighter safety.
As hot and dry temperatures persist, the potential for wildfires within the Oregon Coast Range exists. Help us prevent human caused wildfires by following fire restrictions.
Yesterday, firefighters from Oregon Department of Forestry and the USDA Forest Service responded to the Deadwood Fire, also known as Incident 339, on the Central Coast Ranger District of the Siuslaw National Forest. The fire was lightning caused.
Aviation resources, two engines, and a hand crew quickly engaged in full suppression efforts using direct attack on the .25 acre fire. In the heat of the afternoon, the fire grew to .5 acres. Firefighters worked through the night in thick brush and steep terrain to dig a line around the entire fire perimeter. Today, crews will work to strengthen control lines by using hand tools and water to extinguish heat—which is also known as mopping up.
The Deadwood Fire is located nine miles northwest of Triangle Lake in the West Fork of the Deadwood Creek drainage. Visitors are asked to avoid the area for public and firefighter safety. Fuels, such as downed logs, within the control lines will continue to create visible smoke.
