Wildfire crews made progress over the weekend in containing the Tolo Mountain Fire, burning around 14 miles northwest of Chemult.

The lightning-sparked fire is holding steady at 41 acres and is now 50% contained, according to a Monday morning news release from the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center.

Fire officials report that crews spent Sunday cooling hot spots up to 100 feet inside containment lines of the main fire. The work will continue until the entire fire perimeter and all spot fires are cold to the touch.

The fire is located about 3 miles north of Cappy Mountain on the Crescent Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest. It was first reported Wednesday  and is burning in heavy timber with a mix of dead and downed wood.

Jean Nelson-Dean, a spokesperson for the Deschutes National Forest, said resources are available to respond to the multiple fires currently burning in Central Oregon, including the Tolo Mountain Fire.

“Resources only become challenging when there are multiple large fires across the Pacific Northwest and throughout the nation,” said Nelson-Dean. “At this time we have several incident management teams available as well as smokejumpers, crews and air resources.”
