The Copperfield Fire burning southeast of Chiloquin has grown to an estimated 3,241 acres.
According to the Tuesday morning update, crews have lined almost the entire perimeter of the fire and will continue to work on tightening the line throughout the day.
Their main focus will be on the southwestern corner, where firefighters will be working to secure the edge.
On the north and east sides of the fire, crews are continuing to work on structure preparation and protection where officials say there are a lot of structures. The Oregon Department of Forestry’s Incident Management Team 3 is working alongside the Oregon State Fire Marshal Red Incident Management Team (OSFM) in a unified command on the fire.
According to OSFM, eight task forces will be working the fire over 24-hour shifts.
