The Dixon Fire in the Tiller area is at 1,833 acres and is zero percent contained as of midday Monday.

An update said the combination of erratic wind and dry fuels have driven fire growth and produced active fire behavior, including some spotting.

The fire is now under joint command of the Oregon Department of Forestry Incident Management Team 2 and Oregon State Fire Marshal Green Team.

Crews will be working to address snags and hazardous debris along the Tiller Trail Highway to reopen the roadway as soon as possible. On the northern edge of the fire, crews will continue to increase holding on handlines, address spot fires and conduct mop up. Throughout the eastern and southern edges, resources will be constructing additional direct and indirect line, as well as tying existing portions of fire line together. Multiple air assets will continue to engage with the fire to support suppression efforts.

The update said structure resources have completed surveys on most structures immediately adjacent to the fire and have been actively engaged with fire along FSRD 1610. These task forces will continue to mop up and patrol along FSRD 3113, as well as 1610 and the 100-spur road. Structure groups will also be working around Drew to establish contingency lines.
