The Archie Creek Fire burning east of Glide remains at just under 116,000 acres and zero percent containment.

Kyle Reed of the Douglas Forest Protective Association said crews were not able to fly over the fire on Friday to get a new acreage estimate.

369 people are assigned to the fire according to the latest update from Northwest Incident Management Team 9. Additional resources are coming to help with fire suppression.

The update said progress is being made with structure assessment, protection of structures, use of roads, power infrastructure, containment of fire and opportunities for future containment.

Ono Friday, firefighters worked on the fire with local fire departments, industrial landowners and loggers to construct fire lines and provide structure protection. Staff with the Oregon Department of Transportation and fire crews worked to clear fallen trees and large rocks from Highway 138 East and Rock Creek Road.

On Saturday, indirect fire line construction will continue. Direct dozer line construction continues on the western and southern flanks of the fire where practical and where topography will allow.

Warm and dry conditions, along with breezy afternoon winds, will persist through the weekend. Smoke may limit daytime highs. Humidity should improve over the next several days, especially overnight recoveries, but daytime humidity will remain quite low at higher elevations.
