Evacuations are lifted for the Rum Creek Fire, in Josephine County.

An update said the fire remains 83 percent contained with no new growth for a week. It is still listed at 21,347 acres.

Seasonal patterns of mild temperatures and high relative humidity are settling in for the area, lowering the risk of future flare ups within the fire perimeter. Suppression repair utilizing large mechanized equipment and hand crews will continue throughout the fire area. Most repair work, including road blading, grading of roads, and contingency lines, is expected to be completed by Sunday or Monday. The update said some of the steeper dozer lines, including on the south side of the fire, will take a little longer to stabilize.
