An Umpqua National Forest update said 686 people are assigned to these fires. There are still many miles of uncontained fire edge. Firefighters are accessing and extinguishing hot spots and continue finding and suppressing spot fires outside of the main fires. Crews are also clearing and repairing roads impacted by the fires and by fire suppression activities to ensure continued success.
