Work continues on the Homestead Complex fires, as of midday Friday.

An Umpqua National Forest update said the complex remains at 35,695 acres.

On Horse Heaven Creek Fire, masticators are working south on the 3829 road with hand crews supporting fuel reduction in areas too steep for machinery. On the north flank, hand crews are addressing hot spots directly at the fire edge.

On the Fuller Lake and Bullpup fires, a chipper and excavator are pulling out and processing larger vegetation at the northwest edge. On the east flank, a masticator is working on the 319 road to prepare for a contingency dozer line.

On the No Man Fire, a hand crew is working in steep areas at the northwest edge. On the north and south flanks, crews are repairing dozer line. Chipping and log-hauling continue on the south flank, with grading on the 3806 and 38 roads.
