Light rain overnight helped fire fighting efforts on the Rum Creek Fire northwest of Grants Pass.

Officials say the fire is now 75% contained and most of the fire’s edges have been cooled at least 200 to 300 feet into the burn. An infrared flight on Sunday night showed no acreage gain for the blaze, which stands at 21,347 acres.

The light rain overnight has helped reduce the threat of finer fuels catching fire and contributing to the rapid spread of a wildfire. Officials say weather conditions for the next few days are favorable and predicted to be cooler and more humid.
