Firefighters
with the Oregon Department of Forestry Southwest Oregon District are actively
mopping up the Fry Peak Fire, located on private land approximately 14 miles
north of Rogue River. The fire was initially reported Sunday night just before
7:30 p.m. An engine was dispatched to the area above May Creek road, where
firefighters were able to confirm an estimated 10-acre fire moving slowly in an
area under salvage operations following the 2018 Garner Complex.
Due
to the minimal spread of the fire overnight, two engines and two hand crews
were dispatched Monday morning. Within a short period of time, firefighters
were able to line the entire perimeter and begin mop-up operations. Crews will
remain on scene until the fire is contained.
No
evacuations or road closures were ever made. The cause of this fire remains
under investigation.
