Oak Grove Fire Update – 9/2/2021
The Oak Grove Fire is being managed under a full suppression strategy using containment and confinement tactics to minimize fire spread and to prevent loss of resources. On the western edge of the fire, crews will continue today mopping-up pockets of heat while continuing to strengthen the handline to the base of the cliff. The handline on the eastern edge of the fire perimeter will be patrolled to locate and extinguish any heat near the fire’s edge. Crews will also focus on fire suppression repair and build waterbars on the handline in steeper terrain to prevent soil erosion. Some fire resources will be released and reassigned to other large fires.
