Firefighters push toward completion of mop up
MITCHELL, Ore. – Mop up on the Shoe Fly Fire is near completion. Firefighters have reached 300 feet of cold black adjacent to the perimeter on much of the 26,774 acre fire, resulting in an increase of containment to 77%.
Today, firefighters will continue to mop up heavier fuels in the Gird’s Creek area on the southwest flank and around Baldy Mountain on the northeast corner of the fire. These areas have timber and larger fuels that hold heat longer and require more water and effort to extinguish. A drone with infrared capabilities will be used in the northeast corner of the fire to locate hot spots, speeding up the mop up process.
