Crews from the Douglas Forest Protective Association extinguished a wildfire on Sunday afternoon near the 1300 block of Hogan Road in Oakland.

A DFPA release said that wildfire camera detection operators discovered a smoke column at 1:19 p.m. Upon arrival, firefighters found a 3-acre grass fire moving uphill. DFPA utilized three engines to stop the forward spread, stopping the fire at 7-acres.

The wildfire was determined to be human-caused and remains under investigation, according to DFPA. No homes or structures were threatened by the fire.

Mop-up operations have been completed, and the fire is in patrol status.

DFPA reminds the public that fire season remains in effect and restrictions continue to be in place. Public Information Officer Rachel Pope said that DFPA responded to multiple Public Use Restriction violations over the weekend, including prohibited debris burning.

Public Use Restrictions in the Douglas District have been reduced to low, and the Industrial Fire Precaution Level has been set to Level 1. This means that debris burning, including the use of burn barrels, open fires, and campfires, except at designated locations, remains restricted.

Public Use Restriction violations can result in citations and fines.
