The Rum Creek Fire, the state’s largest active wildfire burning in southwest Oregon, grew to more than 10,700 acres as of Monday morning.

Containment on the fire centered near Galice in Josephine County was at 1%.

Southwest of Bend, the Cedar Creek Fire has burned 7,654 acres since it began Aug. 1 about 3 miles west of Waldo Lake. The fire was 10% contained as of Monday morning.

The two wildfires are among the 28 active fires in Oregon, according to the State of Oregon Fires and Hotspots Dashboard. And with temperatures rising and widespread drought, other Gov. Kate Brown declared a statewide emergency Sunday due to wildfire danger.

“With wildfire behavior increasing across the state, and with the threat of fire not likely to recede in the near future, it is imperative that we act now to prevent further loss — of life, property, business, and our natural resources,” Brown said in a statement announcing the emergency declaration.

The declaration also comes as Oregon approaches the two-year anniversary of the massive 2020 Labor Day fires that burned over 1.1 million acres, killed 11 people, and destroyed more than 3,000 structures.

According to Brown’s announcement, “The Governor’s declaration authorizes the Oregon Department of Forestry and the Office of the State Fire Marshal, in coordination with the Oregon Department of Emergency Management, to utilize personnel, equipment, and facilities from other state agencies in order to respond to or mitigate the effects of the wildfire emergency. The declaration allows state agencies to temporarily suspend any rules that impair the response to wildfires, if needed, and also allows the state to request assistance from other states through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact if necessary. “

Brown said the National Guard would be used if other resources are depleted.

The Rum Creek Fire, a lightning-sparked fire that began Aug. 17, had burned about 1,200 acres on Friday, according to state fire officials. It grew to 4,700 acres on Saturday and was reported at 8,400 acres by midday Sunday.

Logan Taylor, of Talent, was killed Aug. 18 by a falling tree while battling the fire. Brown has ordered flags to be flown at half-mast on Monday to honor Taylor.

One house and two mining structures have been destroyed by the Rum Creek Fire, according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
