Favorable weather conditions resulted in another day of decreased fire activity on the Archie Creek Fire east of Glide, on Sunday.

An update from Northwest Incident Management Team 9 said containment lines along the western flank of the fire were held in check from the South Fork of the Calapooya Creek, down to Glide. Crews continue working in the area to reinforce primary and secondary containment lines. In the Little River area, crews are utilizing a combination of existing road systems with new dozer lines to check the fires spread. Structure protection remains in place throughout the Little River area. Air operations were grounded for another day due to smoky conditions in the region.

The Archie Creek Fire has burned 121,379 acres and remains 10 percent contained.

Crews from the Oregon Department of Transportation and Pacific Power continue work along Highway 138E by cutting hazardous trees, checking downed power lines and removing debris from the roadway. The highway remains closed to all non-fire personnel from 4 miles east of Glide to the Highway 97 junction. Road clearing operations also continued on Rock Creek Road.

At last check, there was 539 people assigned to the fire.
