Firefighters are making good progress on the 145-acre Dads Creek Fire near Glendale.

Douglas Forest Protective Association Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said crews have completed the mop-up of 150 feet of the perimeter, raising overall containment to 60 percent.

Pope said 24-hour mop-up efforts are expected to continue for several more days, with ongoing round-the-clock support from DFPA’s dispatch center, focusing on maintaining communication safety for roughly 130 firefighters, heavy equipment operators, and overhead command personnel assigned to the fire.

Pope said the temporary Bureau of Land Management Road Closure remains in effect. The closure includes Cow Creek Road from the Ruben Historic Site to the intersection with Dad’s Creek.

Pope said the Oregon Department of Forestry Activity Level, which includes the Douglas District, is now at Level 4, indicating high wildland activity and strategic resource prioritization. Pope said as significant progress continues on the Dads Creek Fire, resources will be gradually demobilized to ensure they are available for response.
