Firelines Complete Around Sprignett and Longbranch Fires

Fire crews working on the Sprignett and Longbranch fires completed firelines around these fires this afternoon. The Sprignett Fire is 15 acres in size and the Longbranch Fire is 10 acres. Night shift crews will continue extinguishing hot spots on these -- and other -- fires that were sparked by Thursday's thunderstorms.

The two fires on Berry Rock also are completely lined, and firefighters will patrol this area tonight. The Berry Rock #1 Fire is 4.5 acres and the Berry Rock #2 Fire is 1 acre.

The 3-acre Camel Hump Fire (downsized due to better mapping), the 1.5-acre Joe Dyer Fire, and a third fire in the area, the tenth-acre Brush Creek Fire, are being mopped up. This cluster of fires is approximately 3 miles east/northeast of Shady Cove.
