The Jack Fire, burning on the Umpqua National Forest east of Glide, is 75 percent contained, and is at 23,002 acres.

An update from the Northwest Incident Management Team 10 said it is currently most active south of Highway 138E in the east, southeast and south flank of the fire. Crews are conducting firefighting operations as conditions allow, including on the 4770 Road, on the 28 Road, along the 530 Road to Twin Lakes and near Calf Creek. As burn operations occur, smoke may be visible.

North of Highway 138E, firefighters are successfully holding containment lines and continuing mop-up operations, patrol and monitoring activity on the northeast, north and west perimeters of the fire.

The update said multiple small fire starts have recently ignited in a remote location at the Upper Steamboat Creek Drainage, following lightning storms that passed through the vicinity. Management of the new starts north of the Jack Fire has been combined and named the Rough Patch Complex. There are approximately 22 new fires burning about 240 acres. As of Sunday morning, Northwest Team 13 assumed command of the complex. New resources are scouting for potential containment and opportunities for suppression. Crews are being assisted by firefighters from the Umpqua National Forest and the Douglas Forest Protective Association.

A heavy Type 1 helicopter with bucket recently joined two heavy Type 1 helicopters with buckets, one heavy Type 1 tank and one light Type 3 that were already assigned to the Jack Fire. All five helicopters are now supporting air operations for both the Jack Fire and the Rough Patch Complex.
