UPDATE Aug. 16 at 8:50 a.m.: The Dixon Fire is now 1,997 acres and 11% contained, according to a news release from the Oregon Department of Forestry. "After several days of structure preparation and protection, Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) crews demobilized from the Dixon Fire this morning. ...Mop up to 100 feet around structures is complete. ODF and local crews will provide ongoing structure protection and monitoring as needed," the release said. "Containment of the fire increased from 4% to 11% last night. Low temperatures and high relative humidity helped crews accomplish extensive mop up around much of the perimeter. They laid hose on the southern edge of the fire and will expand mop up today in that area. Aircraft were crucial assets in cooling down hot spots earlier this week, but their numbers will be downsized today as this need is reduced. The public should continue to exercise caution in the local area as multiple hazards are present. On roadways, fire traffic is turning and entering the fire area off the main road systems. In Level 2 evacuation areas, residents should remain prepared to leave at a moment’s notice as fire behavior may shift. They should also be aware of the dangers posed by falling trees and rocks, burned ground, smoking or smoldering material, and any downed power lines. Rain is forecast for Saturday, which will increase the likelihood of debris falls, slides, and poor surface road conditions."
