The fire broke out on Mt. David near North J Street in Cottage Grove.
Fire crews responded to a fire that grew to 2 acres around 4:30 p.m.
According to Fire Chief John Wooten from South Lane County Fire and Rescue, the fire is now 85 percent contained, but not yet under control.
The fire started on the ground and worked its way up the trees.
It’s not clear yet what started the blaze.
“To my knowledge we have no structures threatened right now, other than the one behind me on J Street and we believe that we've secured that one,” Wooten said.
