Forest Service Crews Gaining Full Containment on Rogue River-Siskiyou Fires
The US Forest Service reports the Peavine Fire located one mile south of the Winchuck River is now fully contained. Firefighters will continue to grid the area for any remaining heat and complete mop-up efforts.
The Scenic Fire located near National Creek east of Highway 230 on the High Cascade Ranger District of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is now 90% contained.
Forest officials said mop-up is ongoing as crews work toward full containment. Heavy timber in the interior of the fire continues to smolder and may produce visible smoke. Please use caution when traveling through the area and watch for firefighters. Smoke may impact visibility and air quality.
Firefighters are staged in strategic locations around the forest to be ready for any new fire starts. Air and ground reconnaissance is ongoing. Please use caution while recreating to keep the forest and firefighters safe. If you see suspicious or careless behavior while you are out in the woods, please report it to law enforcement.
