Containment has reached 100 percent on the Dixon Fire.

An update said by meeting the mop up standard set by local agencies, the Oregon Department of Forestry Incident Management Team 2 will transfer command of the Dixon Fire to a local Type 4 organization, comprised of resources from the Umpqua National Forest and the Douglas Forest Protective Association.

Incident Commander Matt Howard said, “This positive outcome is due to partnerships. The fire burned across a checkerboard of private and government ownerships”. Howard said, “Everybody was in lockstep to bring together the right resources and support effective decision-making.

The Dixon Fire Facebook page will no longer post updates or additional information.
