Suppression work continues on the Homestead Complex, burning in the Umpqua National Forest.

A UNF update said the fires total approximately 35,682 acres. 745 people are assigned to the complex.

Acreage and containment totals remain unchanged on all the fires as of midday Thursday.

On the Horse Heaven Creek Fire, crews are starting mastication at the northwest fire edge and continuing to masticate along the 3829 road so that feature can serve as a future control line. Firefighters continue mopping up on the north and east flanks of the fire.

On the Fuller Lake and Bullpup fires a chipper, and excavator are working on the 300 road. At the northwestern flank, engines are maintaining and rehabilitating pumps to ensure they are ready to work directly at the fire edge. On the west flank, firefighters have placed plumbing around the fingers of the fire and are checking those several times daily.

On the No Man Fire, some interior heat and smoke remain near Chilcoot Mountain. This fire activity is not threatening control lines. Firefighters are mopping up at the southeast fire edge, patrolling the eastern flank and chipping along the north flank, working toward the Salmon 33 Fire.
