Mop-up operations are underway at Homestead Complex Fires

Northwest Complex Incident Management Team 7 took over management of the Homestead Complex and the Cottage Grove – Lane 1 fires last night. In total, 510 people are assigned to these fires. Fire managers are continuing to use direct and indirect tactics to respond to all the fires under a full suppression strategy. Three of the seven fires in the Homestead Complex are 100% contained: the Salmon 33 Fire (275 acres); the Reynolds Butte Fire (334 acres); and the Lost Bucket Fire (34 acres). Crews are improving containment lines by reducing fuels through mastication, chipping wood, and hauling fuel to landings away from the fire.
